Norwich 0-0 Wolves: Verdict Thread

[The Bear]

Not a dreadful result by any means, and it's a point and clean sheet away from home.

However it's a disappointing performance against one of the bottom three. Norwich played well under their new manager bounce but we should have posed them more problems than we did. A very flat performance offensively.

Defensively decent again though, and Sa is my pick of the bunch for MOTM, as he didn't have loads to do but saved us a couple of times.

Trincao was poor as was HHC which nullified our attack.

It was pretty obvious quite early though that we needed more in midfield

 

[Templeton Peck]

Shit. Really shit. We were weak on the ball, second to most balls and some of our passing was shocking. One real chance created. Sa the only player to emerge with any credit today.

 

[BeaverWolf]

Whatever your opinion of Adama Traore it is pointless just giving him a few minutes on the pitch now & again. I would have started him today rather than the disappointing Trincao. We needed to attack from the start.

 

[prawnking]

It's an away point after a very disjointed performance, so it'll do (barely)

Our attacking play was over-cautious, lacking numbers, simplistic and half-hearted, and reminded me of the worst of last season.

I do like RAN, but he must have had about 60% of our possession, and never looks like doing anything with it, so what's the point in him having so much? Didn't like our set-up at all today.

Adama a total waste of a shirt when he came on

 

[Paul]

I thought Norwich played well, pressed well and some crisp passing

 

[PuntsWolf]

Sa was great. Some good saves and him coming off his Iine nips so much in the bud. That one near the end where Pukki was in down the left channel.

Back 3 were decent. Rest of them terrible. Like really bad.

 

[HanDoJin]

Weather can't have helped, it looked dreadful throughout. Still, nowhere near enough quality on the ball to deserve anything more.

 

[Freddeno]

Think Bruno must watch our first three games of the season again and then we go from there to develop further, this shit cant go on...

Yep. Move onto the next one.

Close thread

 

[Jabbawolf]

Not really at it today - shouts for Sa, who I thought was excellent, and Kilman, who looks classier every game.

Why did we take off Semedo? Traore as RWB doesn’t work - take Hwang off and put him up against Gibson and Hanley.

Trincao needs to look up Numan.com.

Wolves are 6th

It's all just so pedestrian at times, it's like the players don't have any belief to try anything more risky.

Players take way too many touches and miss passing opportunities, hardly ever run into threatening areas like they're too worried about the consequences if they lose possession and I'm not sure I saw a single successful pass played in front of anyone today, always to feet or underhit so people have to slow down and wait for it.

It's all just too safe, I'm not sure a lot of these players have it in them to play that differently consistently. I've said before that I think some are still stuck in the old ways but I'm starting to think it's more than that, perhaps that's just their natural inclination and the reason why they were successful in the previous setup. Maybe now it's not so much they're being asked to do something new and struggling to adapt but more they're being asked to do things they just simply don't believe in, that they can't agree with as a way to go about their business.

Wolves are 6th

with 20 points in the bag at the end of November. Get through December and have some signings lined up ready for the start of January to boost the first XI

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Bringing Traore on and then dropping him into to RB was awful, and then to bring Hoever on!? Just odd.

However, as said it's a decent point,

 

[Freddeno]

Wolves are 6th

I know we are, and we wont be for long with this shit served up

 

[Dire Wolf]

Terrible game, appalling performance, lucky really to get a point. Last week no-one deserved less than a 7 out of 10, this week only Sa deserved more than a 5. I just don't understand why we sporadically have these sub standard performances where most of the players look like they've overdosed on horse tranquillisers the night before. Sluggish, sloppy and lacking any semblance of desire to win or even pass the ball to their own teammates.

But a point. So I guess that's something to be thankful for.

Really clueless comment - away to a team with a new manager and on the back of a couple of wins - West Ham performance was only a week ago!

Well, let’s not jump to any conclusions or anything…

 

[Tony Towner]

Our away form is
W3 D2 L2 which is good, but not sustainable. We continually lose the midfield and rely on either defending for our lives, bits of brilliance, good goalkeeping, poor finishing or hoping that holding shape is enough. Not sure what Bruno's options are but we need to go 352 until we can 4231 when we are away. Our 19 year old £36m centre forward has to be in play surely?
