Borodane 6,246 Posted September 26, 2017 Author Share Posted September 26, 2017 I know we're losing 1-0 but this game is definitely still winnable. Especially with players like Braithwaite and Bamford on the bench. Definately. Can see baker coming off for Bamford or Braithwaite. Link to post Share on other sites
Dan1234 1,048 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Have we had a good first half since Monk took over? Seems like we are trash every time. Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,952 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Britt is so isolated up there because Baker is playing really quite deep. Would definitely benefit having one of the bench B's on too play further up I think. Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,952 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 That just goes to show the lack of urgency, in injury time of first half and there's so little forward movement Johnson has to play it backwards. It's like having terrible flashbacks, Link to post Share on other sites

wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Johnson has had zero influence on this game. People moan at Downing for playing the ball sideways and backwards, I don't even remember many sideways passes from Johnson. He needs taking off at half time. There's a time and a place for Johnson, this game is clearly not it. Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted September 26, 2017 Author Share Posted September 26, 2017 Have we had 80% of the ball. Norwich have barely been out of their half apart from the goal and one half chance when Evil Pinto made a raid forward. Goals will come. Link to post Share on other sites
thomas 501 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Second half id change this too - .................Clayton.....Baker............ Troare..Braithwaite/Bamford...Johnson ..........................Britt.................................. Link to post Share on other sites
SouthernSmoggie 4,223 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Norwich looking worryingly comfortable at the moment, no-one supporting Britt in the box. If it goes like this for much longer might be worth a gamble and throw Fletcher or Bamford on..? Link to post Share on other sites

There's a time and a place for Johnson, this game is clearly not it. If Johnson hasn't had any influence then Traore on the opposite wing has been invicible. Johnson has been involved in most of our promising moves forward. Traore and baker are main culprits in doing absolutely nothing. I would take off Baker for a striker 10 mins into the second half if nothing changes. Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmy 140 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Frustrating first half that. Norwich well drilled and defensively good. They'll put men behind the ball second half and if we don't break them down early, I can see them countering and winning this 2-0. Don't think anyone's been massively bad, just a frustrating night so far. Link to post Share on other sites

boroinbishop 65 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Just not enough men in the box, if you're gonna get the ball wide you've gotta have men in the middle to get on the end of crosses. Link to post Share on other sites

I would take off Baker for a striker 10 mins into the second half if nothing changes. Johnson put in the cross for the Britt chance. Other than that, what are his skills doing for our team right now? He's a speedster playing against a very deep team. He doesn't particularly look like doing anything with the ball when he gets it. That's not to say Traore or indeed Baker have been any better. I mentioned earlier that Traore doesn't seem to be in it too. Epitomised by one or two passes which came to him, he sits static and hopes the ball reaches him whilst one or two Norwich players just intercept before it reaches him. The difference for me is Traore can make something happen despite playing against a deep team. Norwich seem to be winning every tackle at the moment but I would sooner expect Traore to bedazzle them than Johnson. The fact they're putting their feet in to win the ball from Traore is both bad and good for us. One wrong foot and it's either a dangerous free-kick or a penalty. Link to post Share on other sites
