Think RM might regret making Stephens his skipper.

At least he's club captain rather than team captain, he doesn't have to play

[Sheaf Saint]

Penalty!

[OttawaSaint]

So while Chelsea and Liverpool shilly shally we get it squarely up the arse by not playing Lavia. Fuck them! 

[Mr X]

Penalty? 

[Suhari]

Penalty!

[Saint NL]

Soft as fuck, come on

[SNSUN]

Pressure here...... penalty.

Yup. And scored!

4-4

[Mr X]

Well never saw that coming 

[Suhari]

Bosh.

Always rated AArma.

[Farmer Saint]

Where's Ken Monkou???? 

[saintant]

Can we please take the draw now.

[Saint NL]

4-4, crazy game

[coalman]

Armstrong is a goal beast. We'll be (un)lucky to hold onto him

[CB Fry]

Keep it tight lads

...as I said

[coalman]

Thought Charly had it there

[Saint NL]

Close from Charley.

Would have been epic

[Turkish]

Armstrong on course for 69 goals this season!

Thanks for the point ref ❤️ 

[Sunglasses Ron]

What’s the odds on two 4-4 draws in a row at home?

[adrian lord]

Martin just needs to tweak it at the back, and we will motor the rest of the season

We're going to need to be awarded a lot of penalties 🙂

[badgerx16]

I think we can all see where the money needs to be spent.

Tweak it? Open heart surgery needed fs. Can start by binning Baz

We've got millions not billions.

[Colinjb]

That was batsh*t mental.

It's like watching two 8 years olds playing FIFA.

[obelisk]

Got out of jail there. Suicidal defending and endlessly giving the ball away in midfield were very costly.

[Saint86]

Defence absolutely shocking. Simply ho excuse for that shit continuing. Made someone captain who needs replacing, which is worrying from a transfer perspective! 

[Baird of the land]

Love the attacking play but we can't go on conceding 4 of 6 shots on target.(i'm assuming 1 of the other 2 was Bazanu's awful palm out where it ended up being an offside goal)

Also that was an extremely soft late penalty.

Edited 12 August, 2023 by Baird of the land

[SNSUN]

Absolutely take that in the end but glaring errors at the back

[Disco Stu]

Norwich are a good team. We got lucky but when you can't win, don't lose. Shea Charles looks quality.

Would Norwich fans being saying similar?

[Saint NL]

We got lucky to get a point, big changes needed for next week. That defense is an absolute joke.

[Sheaf Saint]

Well it certainly makes a change from all the 0-1 defeats we were served up last season!

[Saint Billy]

The most frustrating 8 goal thriller I've ever witnessed.

£10 would probably buy a better CB pairing.

[Ralph Fastenbüttl]

I'll admit... this is LOADS more fun to watch than us in the Premier League.

[AlexLaw76]

4-4.

nice and neat at times, little goal threat offered by us in the first half.  Armstrong scored 2 without being great. Adams gave a bit more of a focal point in attack

Thought Edozie was poor, Alcaraz was very good in the 2nd half. 

In short, absolutely no chance are we going up, not with this style of play, nor with the defenders we have

[ecurnew02]

Attacking = great 

Defending = awful

I thought Smallbone & Stu Armstrong played well in the midfield but we could use a better anchor in the middle of the pitch. Smallbone is much more of an 8 than a 6 IMO.

When you cant win? We scored 4 and still didnt get it done 🤯 

[Challenger]

If the manager and owners do not know what's fit for purpose and what's not after that, they NEVER will.

Yep. The promotion sides often start slow, but they don't usually lose games at the start either. 

Like the Charles comment. Why didn't he start?
