Good save Sa

 

[Alan]

They are playing some really smooth stuff.

 

[The Bear]

Great save Sa.

Should have been one down there.

 

[Papper]

Ruben resembles a young Brian Blessed.

 

[Freddeno]

great save from Sa there

 

[Alan]

Its starting to sound like Norwich are getting the better of us.

They’ve been the better side this half, no doubt. Still a long time for us to get on top, though.

 

[The Bear]

They are playing some really smooth stuff.

It's just typical we play them during a new manager bounce, after they've been utter shit all season so far.

 

[Jinky]

Appalling first half performance. On the back foot against a terrible side, and bailed out by Sa to keep us level.

Is Trincao on the pitch? Get Adama on ASAP.

Over to you, Bruno.

 

[The Bear]

I'd be tempted to bring Traore on a bit earlier second half,for either of Hwang/Trincao. Neither have been much cop so far.

 

[YoungWolf]

Not been a great game but yeah Norwich been better and looked more like to score. A bit like the palace game I suppose in that sense

hopefully Bruno can tweak it so we can dominate for longer. Hwang and Trincao not really impacted the game how we’d like. I’d put Adama on to break through them

 

[The Bear]

WTF NBC?

Just cut away from our game.

 

[Alan]

Need some astute tactical changes at HT, credit to the players thus far as Smith has set Norwich up about as effectively as possible. Won’t be easy to turn it around but equally we’ve kept them out despite being under pressure, and that’s not totally without merit.

 

[northfield wolf]

Im praying for a better second half, this is usually when we score, surely Traore must come on to liven us up.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Because Lage doesn't rate him would be the obvious answer. Managers don't tend to play players they don't think are good enough.

Like Vitinha last year.

 

[Mel Evo]

On the plus side, uhm… an improvement on our last 1st half performance away at Norwich? Let’s hope for a similar second half improvement.

 

[Templeton Peck]

Norwich played well. Should be one up. They're doing us in midfield. Hwang and Trincao make it look like Jimenez is alone up top. On the plus side, Norwich always look like they have a rick in them. Traore on please.

 

[Carsy]

Traore for trincao for me. Conditions as they are his directness would be a better suit IMO

 

[Templeton Peck]

Traore for trincao for me. Conditions as they are his directness would be a better suit IMO

Yep. Hwang at least offers you workload.

 

[Dire Wolf]

We've not been terrible, but the front 3 have been poor generally. We seem to be 2nd to most 50/50 balls, which is disappointing, and have invited far too pressure on ourselves with some really careless passing. I can see this going the way of the Palace game at the moment. Need Bruno to change something and get us on the front foot much more, we've allowed them to play with tempo and aggression that we have lacked.

 

[Throbber3]

Cagey first half. Front three need to be a bit closer . I would swap Traore for Trincao and put him as IF from the left with Raul from the right and Hwang in the centre. That will pull Hanley out and create space for both to run into
