Just Back From Norwich

[Deleted]

Guys Norwich had about 78% position and probarbly deserved to win in the end.

Other than the goals we looked lifeless. Our midfield tires badly everyone of them. Shelvey and Bailey had well an trully gone after 50mins. This is going to be a big problem for us as the season goes on. Maybe an experienced midfielder on loan just to come on for tiredness. Burton was dropped back into midfield. Wagstaff not up to it im affraid.

If it wearnt for a brilliant save by Elliott then we would of lost. Baily was lucky not to be sent off and had a poor game.

Burton has been my player of the season so far holding up the ball bustling combative player and can score a goal. A great corner from Shelvey with Deon heading in the back of the net.


My marks as follows out of 10:-

Elliot 8
Richardson 6.5
Youga 6.5
Lera 7.
Daily 7.
Baily 4.
Shelvey 7.
Sam 6.5.
Burton 9. MOM.
Semedo 6
Racon 6.

I agree pete, wasn't at the game today but I have been concerned for a couple of weeks now that the signs are there for something like this to happen today and you have confirmed it.

The gap at the top is closing quickly, other teams have settled down and are now getting into their stride, we hit top gear from the off and it lasted 6 games, during the last two, ok we have maintained our unbeaten run but one or two signs of tiredness are starting to creep in.

We are taking some plaudits about playing the same 11 in every game which is a credit to the guys out there but I am going to state a concrete fact here and say that I believe that Parky feels he has had to rather than actually wanting to because like the rest of us he knows he has no strength in depth and Sodje apart absolutely nothing on the bench.

I agree on Wagstaff, it's harsh I know but he is not League 1 standard and he and McLeod actually weaken our side when they come on, im sorry but it's an absolute fact.

Questions have to be asked to about why so many of them are tired when we have 35 year old Dailly running around like a spring chicken!!

I would have taken a point today but it feels like a defeat however we are still unbeaten and that has to be good.

We need to get through the next three games and take 6 points if we can because then comes an easier run of games.

This takeover bollox and transfer embargo I would safely say has finally caught up with us, we need players in quickly, we need players who we can say should not be on the bench but if they are fans are calling for them to be brought on when things are not going quite right.

We have a very tired side right now which has to be addressed immediately and just as a side issue forget the JP Trophy because not one first team player will be involved against Barnet which is a shame and something else that the takeover debacle must be held accountable for.

The takeover is a load of old bollox by our board. Wait until we sell Shelvey in January because one of the big clubs will be in for him.

I would have agreed with you in the week but I heard today that one of the "new" buyers is Richard Murray who is set to join up with Sir Maurice Hatter and a few more money men and pay off the directors who are currently on the board but have little or no more money to put in.

Disagree about Mcleod thought he looked lively when he came on, and could have had a couple. Wagstaff poor today, but that was mainly because he hardly touched the ball we were defending so deep.
Agre with Petetong, we were 2nd best in midfield for the first time today, yet didn't have a ready replacement to freshen things up.

Shelvey doesn't want to leave, he could have gone some while ago but he's happy to be here and why not. What would be the point of him going to a Chelsea or Spurs and spending the next two years gathering splinters in his arse! Parky has been told that we do not need to sell in the January window.

Nothing is ever ruled out. My understanding is that he has a £2M clause in his contract which could trigger him talking to other clubs. As I said above, he wants to stay and those around him think he should. Therefore, unless a club comes in and offers something truely tempting, like £5M, I can't see the club being tempted.
