wilsoncgp 9,283 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 It's nothing exciting but holding the leaders like this for another 45 would be a huge improvement defensively and you have to think a clean sheet would give the lads in defence a bit of confidence. Still, Norwich will not sit idly by and play this game out the same way in the second 45, they'll change something that we will need to match. There's a goal in this game and on the balance of it, you'd still think it was theirs to take. Here's hoping we can continue to hold them off. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
BoroJake 2,345 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Fisher and Bolasie have looked good 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,301 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Defensively me off the ball we’ve been very good but our play with the ball is just completely ineffective highlighted by the fact we are playing without a striker. Get Spence and Johnson off. Get Watmore and Bolasie on the wings with Britt up front. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Aphex_Boro 1,444 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Would love to see Bolasie right and Britt up top. Spence is just so poor Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,982 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Sometimes it's nice watching a good defensive battle. Thought we held up well, stifled them. Bolasie suffering from the same thing all our strikers suffer from, but think he did well when he was able to. Link to post Share on other sites
pikerman 1,121 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I am committed to only saying positive things today so here goes; Fry is excellent, Fisher settled in really well and Bola has the left side stitched up 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Lots of comments about us not playing with a striker, but Warnock clearly said he sees Bolasie as an Antonio type. I would love to see Bolasie and Watmore on the wings but I think that would only happen if we go a goal behind. I can see Bolasie coming off and one of the strikers coming on keeping things the same shape. Link to post Share on other sites

Donnyboro 701 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Dael fry outstanding 🙌🙌. Thought we grew into the game after the first 15 mins would like to see watmore replace spence just for a more attacking outlet down the right hand side Link to post Share on other sites

If you take Spence and Johnson off then the game plan goes totally out of the window as their playing as 2nd full backs and there isn't anyone else on the bench who can do that 2 Link to post Share on other sites
DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 (edited) We've had 31% possession, made 103 passes at an accuracy of 56% and 33 of the 103 have been long balls. Norwich have had 69%, made 243 passes at an accuracy of 83% and 28 of their 243 passes have been long balls. Fisher has the highest accurate pass percentage of all our players at 100%, Spence is 2nd with 80% and McNair is 3rd with 75%. Interestingly Johnson has lost possession 14 times, Spence 9, Bolasie and Saville 8 times each. Just a few HT stats. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Blanco 4,917 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Very good solid first half performance. More of the same in the second half and we can get something out of an away trip to the league leaders Link to post Share on other sites

Spence has been alright, i just wish he would move off the ball down the wing instead of standing still.. He seems to be man marking Pukki Link to post Share on other sites
