He's played in the last 4 matches, we've won all of them. Started against Swansea, we won 5-0. Not sure he is being shoe-horned in today.

He clearly is though. He isn’t a right back, and we have several attacking players on the bench that offer more.

Stephens cameos at full back have not filled me with confidence.

[Saint_clark]

Doesn't a goal kick have to go forward? The keeper just passed it backwards then. I thought it was one of those really obscure/hardly referenced rules that it has to go forward.

Good stream this. Thanks 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Their game plan, which won;t please the Norwich purists at Carrow Road, is to sit back, frustrate us and hope for a miracle ball up to their sole attacker.

He's given the ball away three times already....

To release KWP from even more defensive duties?

[Saint_clark]

Good move there, hold up play from Arma was good and Sarma should have done better.

[adrian lord]

First truly dangerous Norwich attack. 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

7 mins in and Norwich get the ball forward for the first time. They were so deep that it took ages for them to get forward. It was a long range effort that caused no problems.

[Saint NL]

Very dominant, but they look dangerous on the break.

Pretty much the same as every game these days

[Mr X]

We seem too.have got a bit complacent the last few minutes 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

That was more dangerous. I noticed Aribo completely give up on his man. We had no cover in that right full back spot, so that just allowed a free ball into our box.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

The more it stretches, the more chances we'll get. Just the usual of getting that first one in.

Piss poor performance from piss poor preparation from you there. It's unclickable. I'm a snowflake dont ya know.

[Saint_clark]

Surprised how timid the Norwich crowd are being, I'd be hating every second of this.

[adrian lord]

Not sure what Aribo was thinking there. 

[Saint_clark]

Aribo looked like he'd never headed a ball in his life there 😂

They know they need to be patient and wait for the break/goal?

[Saint86]

Lots of possession, but no real chances. Whereas Norwich have had two dangerous breaks. I know we're on top, but need to get a couple of goals to be sure of the win.

[Saint NL]

Kwp looks like he's in pain here 😳

[SaintBobby]

Great pressure. Need to be keener to shoot. Arma seemed to play a through ball when he could have had a pop.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Nearly dropped for Aribo. I though KWP could have tgo a better ball in form the other side, 10 seconds earlier.

Downes is doing well.

I meant more the fact that there's barely even any effort to win the ball back. It must be 80% possession for us so far.

[Osvaldorama]

Hope KWP is ok. Looked like his knee took a stretch there. 
 

Good start. We are playing with purpose and mixing it up well so far. 

[Roger]

Anyone for a stream the previous one has stopped

Interesting way of spinning it. Norwich have had "two dangerous breaks" with only one shot on goal, which was miles away. Saints have had "no real chances" but have had five shots on goal.

Just refresh it should still work.

[Saint_clark]

That was weird.

[Sheaf Saint]

That's a let off.

Spin in how you want, but that is the reality. Lucky flag just saved us there.

Unless we introduce a bit more penetration, we're playing into the norwich manager's plans tbh. If they had better players up front they'd likely have score by now.

[Saint NL]

Goal disallowed, got lucky there

[FarehamSaintJames]

All about possession, not the result 👍🏻

[adrian lord]

Lots of stuff approaching the box but it breaks down.

 

Norwich get it in the net but offside. It is a big warning. 

[OttawaSaint]

Offside but alarm bells ringing. We are ripe for the counter attack. 

[Saint Fan CaM]

A near goal from Norwich - a questionable offside.

You mean the player being offside? Not sure why that's lucky.

You're trying to say they look more likely to score than us and it just isn't true.

[adrian lord]

Norwich getting dirty/reckless. 

[Saint_clark]

Really bad challenge on Edozie there.

It didn’t, Bazunu didn’t even attempt to save it as he saw the flag was up and the ref whistled.

Don't think anyone's ever said that 👍

[OttawaSaint]

10 men behind the ball. We need to move it a bit quicker and open them up. Otherwise I see a frustrating afternoon and a smash and grab 1-0 loss.

[tdmickey3]

Look a bit vulnerable to counter attack 

Careful saints 

[Monk]

Any streams actually working for anyone?

[Sheaf Saint]

Good header from THB but too close to Gunn.

[Saint86]

Manning's defensive positioning is a real worry

[Saint Fan CaM]

Edozie clattered and about to be subbed.

[Block41 Saint]

Edozie going off by the looks of it. 

[Saint_clark]

Edozies fucked.

[adrian lord]

The swine has crocked Edozie. 

[OttawaSaint]

Nice dive there by Hanley.
