wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 1 minute ago, TeaCider24 said: If we were to play Spence as a fullback, he shouldn't be starting as Dijksteel is miles better than him there. Then we could actually have one less full-back on the pitch and one more winger, that's a net positive, regardless of whether Spence ends up on the pitch or not right now. I think this game is made for Roberts. Spence hasn't had that much to do defensively on that side, Johnson makes a bit more sense as Bola is often drifting infield to follow Buendia. That and Johnson is having a decent game. Link to post Share on other sites

My concern is that Roberts would leave us too exposed when they counter and Farke would really know how to exploit Roberts' weaknesses Link to post Share on other sites

I'd much prefer him at fullback to Spence, but he's been so good at CB that it's hard to justify moving him. Well the justification would be to get another actual attacking player on the pitch wouldn’t it? Link to post Share on other sites
AnglianRed 6,229 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Well I missed the end of that but the 30 minutes or so I did see we looked very decent. Seems I also missed our 3 shots on target (according to BBC stats). Norwich had 5 attempts but none on target. Would be happy if the game finishes like this, but it looks like we have the measure of Norwich and finished the half on top. Definitely can't rule out Boro sneaking a win 2nd half.

Dan_Boro_Till_I_Die 1,179 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Final ball again the issue. Other than that i think we've played well and could win this. Need more from Tav and Spence Link to post Share on other sites
Hewie 94 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 (edited) This isn’t a roberts game tbf. We’ve done well for the most part. Tav has been a touch disappointing , but I wouldn’t be dragging him at this stage. To me we are short a quality winger for this formation still. Let’s see what whatmore has at about 60-70 minutes and that’s about it Link to post Share on other sites

That’s exactly what it felt like to me and that’s what it was really. A scrappy game punctuated by the odd counter attack from either side. Us trying to shut them down and contain them and them not being able to break the shackles. Link to post Share on other sites
Ash 167 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Need to get our scoring boots on, don't want another 0-0 draw. Link to post Share on other sites
boro-unger 3,817 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Plenty of half chances, but there are yellow shirts swarming round us anytime we try and do anything. Well need to get a lucky break or a defensive clanger to score today I think. Same for Norwich 2 Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,401 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I'd take the 0-0 now, if offered. Sets us up nicely for Wayne Rooney's Derby County. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
ladyspite 381 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 If we practise penalties we will win the cup. Because we will not concede another goal this season. Problem is we will not score another either.... 😉 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Onme'eadson 44 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Its a terrible game of football, little skill, no action, headless chickens, but we still watch, digest and comment and try to make out a few good points... Be honest its shi4e but i still think we will win. In off somebody's head while he's not looking , or the referee's backside etc. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
