[Football] Norwich City vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Day Thread ***

[Hyperion]

Is it me, or is the BBC and Sky Sports score updates stupidly slow

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

I was very very happy for several minutes.

You've summed up my sex life

 

[Billy the Fish]

Anyone else think Stockdale could've done better with the shot?

It was only a yard to his side. I know people get angry when you dig out the keeper, but I'm starting to think he's a bit sh1t!

 

[portlander]

he's not actually on the pitch, in case you hadn't noticed

Defensively unforgivable. We simply cannot hold onto a lead, bye bye Sami

 

[El Turi]

We always panic when we take the league. I think this is the third time recently that we've conceded an equaliser within 10 minutes.

 

[Zukey Seagull]

awful defending all round

that's what they are saying on BBC sussex "schoolboy defending"

 

[DavePage]

You've summed up my sex life

You lucky bugger

 

[jimhigham]

Everything about that equaliser was vastly annoying.

Stockdale giving possession straight back to the opponents - check
Watching the opposition work their way steadily back upfield unchallenged - check
The stream stopping so the first indication of the goal is Norwich players celebrating - check
Replays demonstrate powderpuff defending - check

Rats' knobs.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Piss poor defending by JFC. Question,?guess what foot a right winger is likely to cross the ball in on....... SO DON'T SIT ON HIS LEFT You pillock!

 

[Wrong-Direction]

Same old Brighton always conceding

 

[Insel affe]

We always panic when we take the league.

Chance would be a fine thing

 

[El Turi]

We never score more than one so a draw is the best we can hope for.

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

Hoooooooof

No good header.

Don't think there is much chance of that. Tony said he was here for the long term only a week or so ago.

I think we just completely lack confidence.

According to the player commentary, we were defending really well. Score a goal and start defending badly.

Really? Come on!

Stockdale is at fault for poor distribution, Bennett is at fault for making it so easy for his man to get his cross in, Ince is at fault for not tracking his man, the whole defence is at fault for being so flat footed.

Stockdale is not at fault for being beaten by a free header from 6 yards out, that is one place there is no fault.

Same old Brighton always conceding

You play it and I'll HUM it

 

[sdmartin1]

He's the one who's tactics rarely result in clean sheets and have lost us leads even against teams like Rotherham. If you can't see that I'm amazed

 

[sjamesb3466]

Greer's passing in the last 5 or 6 games has been so bad. Started the season excellently all round but I fear his time is up.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Now 21st in the table. A goal by either Norwich or Bolton or Birmingham will take us into the drop zone.
