ceskylatic Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Have to be beating sides like that im afraid,they will be strugglers this season fr sure. Did Paul Lambert's Norwich think that after losing 7-1 to Colchester first game of the season before getting promoted?Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayItLivo Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 (edited) It was actually Paul Lambert's Colchester who inflicted that defeat on Norwich. Edited August 9, 2014 by PlayItLivo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Richard Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Have to be beating sides like that im afraid,they will be strugglers this season fr sure. They had a prolific pre season, can clearly score goals. The important thing is we scored two goals away from home and it was a new player nicking those goals. It's a point, we didn't lose.

opinions4u Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Started slowly. Conceded from a corner when nobody took ownership of a corner. Changed formation, seemingly three at the back and took control of the game. Forte equalised by being persistent in the tackle, running with the ball, a nice one two with a defender and taking the ball round the keeper well. Ibhere missed a sitter when through on goal, lobbing wide before good work from JCH knocked the ball back to Brian Wilson who ran aggressively into the box before knocking it back to Forte who swept it in at the near post. A good first half after a mediocre start, Forte the star. Second half we were :censored:e. Colchester pressed us, had numerous chances and Rachubka made a great save from an overhead kick. Their goal came from Kusunga being given the ball under pressure on our right, slipping and their lad breaking away. Although his shot was cleared the rebound was swept in from an angle for a goal they deserved. Okay result against a bit of nothing side. We will need to improve.

Blue_Guru Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 A draw away is a decent result regardless providing home form is consistently better...people wanting to jump on negativity so quickly do me a favour and give it a break till Christmas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea what happened to us second half, really flat after a decent first half. I am afraid to say that JCH was truly awfully today, spent most of the game sulking and moaning at the Ref or anyone who would listen. He needs to decide if he really is cut out to be a competitive sportsman because right now he is not putting a shift in and does not deserve his place.

Ritchierich Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 After one game? Does he really? Can't just have bad game anymore.... No, not after one game, after all the games he's played for us. I know he's young so absolutely allow for that but he needs to sort his head out because young or not he is a professional footballer and he has to deserve his starting place. Too often he doesn't put a proper shift in and I don't think that's acceptable, if you do fine but I don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmer1 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 (edited) He ended the season very well putting in a constant shift while isolated for long spells up front on his own.He has also done well in pre season. He gets frustated easily which can affect his game but as you say he is young and he will improve. Over reaction to a performance that may not have been great but as a player he has improved since arriving at the club and was linked with moves to bigger clubs for a good fee.at the moment he ONLY needs to think about how to play better next game.
