Norwich City Post Match Thoughts

[CAMiller]

Is it a true reflection of being an RUFC fan when you go into a game expecting nothing, you get nothing and yet you are still bitterly disappointed? It's now a mini 3 game losing streak, admittedly all against promotion challenging teams but all of a sudden the results go against us and we're back in the bottom 3. How much are we missing Jamie Lindsay and are the number of games and injuries finally catching up on us? Onward to Tuesday night and time to break the losing run against Forest.

Thoughts on today's game/performance?

The plus is that the goal difference didn't suffer as much as looked likely in the first half.

This from a Narwich forum -

These referees just let opposition walk all over us at Carrow road.

im guessing they are “giving them a chance”

just do your job referee. You weren’t good enough to be a footballer so now you’re a referee. Accept your lot."

If Smudge and Crooks aren't both 9 out of 10s and linking up telepathically we have no idea how to score a goal do we?

Games are catching up with us, really leggy all over the pitch.

Sean Mc clearly isn't really anywhere near fit enough because Wiles desperately needs a rest but he doesn't start ahead of him or even come on to freshen the engine room. A few games now where he plays 5 minutes if lucky, something going on there.

Results from today, yay oh yay, how wonderful a day this has been.

Expected us to lose Wed and today but so frustrating to lose by a single goal. Norwich are a very good team but just feel we didn’t have the belief to get a draw.

Never known such a biased lot as their supporters. We are thugs according to them.

They might have had most of the play but a perfectly good goal by us was disallowed.

Could the results have gone any worse today?

ps I said Bournemouth were rubbish

Goal disallowed and hitting the bar all what if’s. I’m sure we will get the breaks. Goal difference hasn’t suffered too much so bring on Forest.

Expected us to lose Wed and today but so frustrating to lose by a single goal. Norwich are a very good team but just feel we didn’t have the belief to get a draw.

That’s what I have thought about the last two matches not quite enough belief to get any points.

Sounded like a great effort against another 'huge' club, who have been rewarded for failure. Sadly, we don't quite have the quality to turn these games round. The Forest game is massive, lose and I really do fear for us.

Let's face it Norwich are the best team we've played and are heading back to the PL which they should be with that squad.
Their reactions and speed of thought were better than ours all over the pitch which they should be with that squad.
Despite that they only beat us by a single goal and they would have expected it to be much more comfortable with that squad.
"That squad" doesn't belong in the Championship and won't be next season but you could argue that our squad doesn't belong in the Championship either and, unless we can get some decent results from the next 3 games it won't be next season.
No complaints whatsoever about the effort today but some of the decision making left a lot to be desired.
Oh well, Forest up next which really is a must win game isn't it?

Missing Jamie Lyndsey too
I'm sure we,ll get a great result vs Forest
