Throstles vs Canaries - Match Thread

[baggpuss]

Why are people still sitting in the pouring rain at the front of the Brummie? Are they hoping for a draw.

That was me - Unfortunately! 

[1952]

I'm bloody soaked through.

Which of the five goals was Josh Griffiths meant to save?

None, not his fault.

My concern is his confidence right now, and can't expect him to command the defence at the moment, so get someone in to take that heat off and may actually be able to give these morons a telling off now and then.

I can't believe Griffiths is mentioned as the problem and not the powderpuff defence that leaves him open every time. Anyone blaming Griffiths genuinely needs to try another sport, one they might be able to understand.

Not blaming Griffiths but we've never replaced Palmer, then again he'll be a decent third division keeper so no worries.

Nothing to do with the keeper at all.

It's all to do with people winning their individual duels. The xG of the chances were low statistically, but if you watch the goals every single one was our players not making blocks or tackles, or standing and watching and not reacting.

It really was a lesson in how not to defend. I've just watched the Sky highlights to see the goals back again and it seems that progressively with each goal that the defending gets more and more half arsed. The Norwich attackers had an absurd amount of time on the ball and just cut through our defence at will.

There isn't a single one of those goals which it could be said Griffiths should have done better with.

[EastMidsBaggie]

The wing backs are dire so far and making some of our best players in MJ and Price look abysmal.

If the club have planned with Ramsay and signed off how he wants to play, when do the signings come along Nestor?
Otherwise he’s destroying two of our most skilled and dangerous players but putting them there.

Agree MfD. In one move, 4 touches took Norwich from their penalty area to ours. We didn't land a single challenge.

[Jacko]

I think it was the 3rd goal Mepham missed 3 tackles in about 2 seconds. Grant's attempted clearance/air kick for the fourth was laughable. About to watch the highlights now. In my head all 5 were poor defending.

[Mickyfudge]

Ridiculous keep trying to blame the keeper all the time.its the slow ponderous defenders in front of him that’s the problem

[TETLEY74]

Lets be honest that performance has been brewing for a good while.
