Just cant score, loads of chances, lovely cross field passing, just not able to convert our hard work.
Not as bad as it looks. |  |

For f*ck sake.
When we concede now it’s down to Mulder because Potter played Nordfeltd a few times as he wanted to see who he could rely on.
Mental supporters we have fair play. Norwich are a very, very good side at the level we are playing at, not an opinion, a fact. |
Ill tell you whats mental, fans thinking every team is very very good and not considering ours to be the same.
I'm big enough to know when we get played off the park but today really wasn't that, it was a lot to do with what we did not them.
Constant fooking around with the keeper situation and a few other positions does not always help us, it didn't today .
They are a decent side, they are top on merit but this league there is nothing between the top 10 clubs . |  | | |

Agree completely.
Just find it all frustrating as we are clearly doing well but seem to be very unprofessional in terms of game management.
People will make big statements after today, that we are way behind...but we aren't.
What we are is very green (on and off the pitch) not clinical |  |

We didn’t get played off the park, but we got defended off the park. |  | | |

They took the chances we gifted them. We didn’t take ours. It’s a story as old as time. |  |

Fair play to Norwich, their pass and move was on a different level to ours. Never thought i would see us get outplayed like that this season. Norwich really showed up our weakness in centre midfield and Grimes is no left back. | | | |

Started off so well, but ended up well beaten. The most disappointing aspect for me was that we failed to score in the second half. A well-worked goal from open play seems beyond us at the moment.
Sailed through the Hafod on my way home. There seems to be noticeably less traffic this season - perhaps because of more kids in the crowd and a lower % of drivers? | | | |

They were clinical in the last third. We weren't. Every time that number 22 of theirs got anywhere near the ball they looked like they were going to score. They had one or two others that looked dangerous too.
Every time we looked like going forward they closed us down quickly and we had no answer.
Not a terrible performance as a whole, at least not as terrible as some will make out. But that number 22 was just too much for our back four to handle. |  | | |

They were very well organised defensively, didn't overcomplicate anything at the back. And then when they broke they did so with pace and excellent movement. And of course were very clinical.
Best team so far down here this season imo.
The only down side for me is that they're a bunch of cynical, cheating c*nts. Brick sh*thouses going down like they've been shot and then everyone trying to get players booked. C*ntish behaviour of the highest level. And then the time wasting. And there's an anti-football element to them. I'm not sure i'd want to watch that every week; it's all percentage based stuff. Effective though.
If they carry on like that they'll go up easily. | | | |

He was good wasn't he. And their number 18 bossed us (when he wasn't rolling around on the ground like a fairy). | | | |

Imo today’s result has just confirmed my thoughts on expectations for this season.
We are going to have a mixture of results due to the fact that we are basically a new first team squad heavily reliant on youth.
We have had periods of play in some games that things have clicked, and the football has been above this division. Strange enough Ipswich and Rotherham amongst them and we ended up with no points.
The team is still learning, it does take a period of a settled team to bring out the best and strengths of players.
In other games many positive moves have ended poorly due to wrong options being taken, or players not on the same wavelength. Hopefully time will improve on this aspect of play.
Luckily the faults and mistakes have not been critical due to the lack of quality in other teams.
Tonight both Fer and Bony have been criticised and I’m not here to defend them but both haven’t had a pre-season and injuries have had an effect.
Our defence has been given plaudits, but have got away with some poor performances due again to lack of quality in the opposition.
We can say that on our day with some targeted strengthening in January we could push for a play off place.
Putting aside the need for the squad to develop we do lack a leader on the pitch. Our senior players are not up to the task, but we have missed that player for a few seasons.
To add, our management team are new at this level and are also learning, and need to eliminate errors in team selection and game management.
As bad as the result was today, we are in a transition period, and there are signs that the future is more positive than negative, but let’s not pretend that there aren’t going to be more unpleasant results to come while the team continue to learn and improve. | | | |

When was there "constant fooking around with the keeper situation"?
All I saw was Nordfeldt have his chance (Mulder taking over for a few games while he was injured), then Mulder having his chance.
That's 2 planned changes and doesn't amount to fuking around, and definitely wasn't anywhere near constant. |  |

Yep, absolutely nothing has changed, except maybe people expecting any different. Fer, Montero and (maybe, but my god he was dire) The Boner are impact players not starters. For looks fantastic against tired legs when he's fresh so keep him for that.
Narch sussed us today fair play. They had a look for ten minutes then pushed ten yards up the pitch, smothered the life out of us and quickly attacked with pace, particularly our left side. Then we gifted them two goals and the confidence change was evident - on both sides.
There might be more of that to come on Wednesday, but we could equally click, strut around and nail them. That's going to be our season I think. [Post edited 24 Nov 2018 19:02]

Wish for once we could show some progress on actually being at all clinical... we had enough chances to be in the match even with the crap defence today. but we seem to always bounce off the goalkeeper week after week. |  |

Of course not. For a newbie you are so perceptive. First rubishing the Trust and now an appeal to moderate expectations. 🤔 |  |

we gifted them 2 goals and did not have the rub of the green.
Still better things to come and a top six finish.
Ironically it was our senior players who let us down today. |  | | |

We had more Possession, more Shots & more Corners, but as has been our problem for the last couple of years none of it translated to goals other than Dan's and he had quite a few shots. | | | |

Can't agree on the comment about senior players who let us down today.
Rodon was all at seas from the kick off and after the first goal he went to pieces. He had a shocker and that affected Grimes (who improved in the second half).
Roberts was never in the game.
James had some nice runs but ultimately his crossing and final ball were appalling to the point I'd consider starting with Routledge on the wing.
Fulton was well.... Fulton. Never quite in the right place at the right time.
McBurnie ... lad needs some time in the under 23s . Not sure if it's under instruction but he seems to be everywhere except where you'd want the striker to be.
Celina proved too lightweight and telegraphed every pass and flick.
Hoorn had a poor game.
Fer had a poor game
Mulder didn't have much to do that he could be culpable for (not sure about 4th goal as players obscured the view).
Oslon and Naughton showed class and even Bony aged a couple of glimpses.
All in all we looked like if was game 38 no 18; tired, lacking urgency, no movement off the ball and very weak decision making.
Were Norwich good? They were well drilled and finished well but they won't be promoted on that showing. |  |
