Norwich 2-1 Saints - Match Thread

[Suhari]

Enjoyable and also frustrating.

Just lacking a little incisiveness.

Surely we can fashion a few more chances?

[Jonnyboy]

Moi not great for me. 

[Saints foreva]

Don't think we've created many clear chances, quite poor against that defence tbf. 

[cloggy saint]

Just waiting for some clown to tell us 'we all know how this ends'.

[Saint_Jonny]

We've got this in the bag if we keep playing the way we are. Norwich will tire and the goal will come. 

[Manuel]

We all know how this ends.  

Broja on for me.

Yep too slow to act. Unfortunately a number of good chances have come his way. A bit of decisiveness and we're 3-1 up. Norwich have literally done nothing but get away with a foul and then catch Alex cold.

[moonraker]

We should be out of sight, apart from their single shot on goal they have offered nothing.  Get more clinical and this is a thrashing.  The ref ain’t to good.

Totally. Weak shooting, gives the ball away, just not very good.

[verlaine1979]

Get Broja on. So many crossing opportunities but Armstrong is about 4ft tall and Adams has never scored a headed goal for us.

4-1 to us?

 

[Disco Stu]

We must learn to kill games off.

[davefizzy14]

Che is on fire another goal. Really frustrating that we got pegged back. We have completely dominated the 1st half. Could easily be three or four up. Let's put this game to bed in the second half - COYR

Wonder what Perraud might do. Loads of crosses and assists in the French league.

KWP is playing well, but would love to see a natural left footer at LB.

You're playing??

[qwertyell]

Disappointing. Same story - can't kill a game off when we're on top.

Given that we're a weak second half team, I'd take a point.

[Chris cooper]

The Albanian Alan shearer would’ve had a hatrick .. get him on 2nd half we win this comfortably

Another frustration, so much space for KWP on the left but he isn't able to take full advantage of it. 

[charliemiller]

Is Adam Armstrong playing ????? says it all really

 

needs to be taken off

In fairness he's put in a few decent left foot crosses.

He works hard and is very neat but he simply isn't up to hurting teams in the PL. He can't beat anyone, he can't make space like, say, a Tadic and he can't get shots away quick enough. Having him and Diallo on the wings leaves us a bit toothless. Need to get Tella or Broja on instead.

What that you are not watching the game and don’t know if he is playing?

[Norm]

We are up against a very poor Norwich. Really should be winning. Let’s hope our inability in front of goal doesn’t bite us on the a£&e.

[Mr X]

Worried about this Norwich are really trying, how many chances do we need to kill the game off?

Of course they’re fucking trying, why wouldn’t they!?? 🤣🤣🤣

[Sheaf Saint]

Not really seen enough from Ely today. I hope Ralph doesn't leave it too long to hook him and bring on some fresh legs.

[HarvSFC]

Putting Sargeant on helps us.

Hopefully he doesn't march right through our defense...

You know what I meant they look up for it, new manager bounce 

[OttawaSaint]

Showing great confidence but a bit scary to watch us passing around our own box.

[Sheaf Saint]

Norwich pressing high up but not getting the ball. Good. let them wear themselves out.

[obelisk]

Saints playing themselves into trouble in defence. Need to wake up.

[OttawaSaint]

Alright, I've seen enough of Moi. Far too hesitant. 

[Dorchester Saint]

2 shots up for it 🤣

[Mr X]

We haven't had many more! 

[Suhari]

We're showing nothing this half.

Need to wake up.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Get Diallo off he’s been utter shite. As has JWP, KWP and Moi. We’re being outplayed by Norwich now…let that sink in.

[AlexLaw76]

Why do we do this?

[Saints foreva]

Causing our own problems so far in this half. 

[badgerx16]

Sometimes titting about at the back between the GK and CBs is not a good idea.

[obelisk]

Saints a different team. Completely off the pace.

[OttawaSaint]

Good sub. Moi off Broja on.

[AlexLaw76]

Thankfully puki never took the bait there and bought the foul

[Mr X]

Terrible start to second half where have we heard that before 

[stknowle]

Thank Christ he’s gone off. 

[OttawaSaint]

Broja up the middle with Adams and AA on either side.

Honestly looks like he's been instructed to take less risks. It's my biggest issue with the modern games obsession with recycling possession.

Has he been Ralphed?

[qwertyell]

Haven't turned up in the second half again.

Hanging on for a point at this rate. Poor.

[OttawaSaint]

Get it back Saints. Been poor so far this half.
