Norwich v Rovers: 17th December 2022

[Dunnfc]

It always easier to defend with 1-0 and lads are running so credit to them for doing that. But otherwise? We can’t hold on to a ball and we are still playing around the goalkeeper. Hopefully we won’t get punished again for doing it.

They’ve two quality PL full backs in Aarons and McCullum, the key is to keep them pressed back on my opinion as these lads are deadly going forwards.

We’ve got to make the most of the early balls forwards which is why I’d have Gallagher through the middle at the start of this second half.

 

[Robin]

Ht and so far so good, long way to go though.

45+ of defending

They have their own problems as they also play around the goalkeeper quite a lot. The more they do it the better for us.

 

[Dunnfc]

This do is a goal ain’t it

 

[Drog]

I think we need more from BBD. He's neither figuring in attack nor defence this game.

 

[Dunnfc]

Bucko should have hit from there

 

[Drog]

Buckley spewed a great opening there. Our final ball is poor despite Norwich making plenty of errors. We really need to be clinical when we get these chances

 

[Drog]

I note the Softening up process has started with that tackle on Buckley

 

[Robin]

Strange decision to take Dack off while Dolan stays on.

 

[Drog]

Szmodics and Wharton for Ayala and dack. I'm hoping szmodics will add bite and graft to the midfield.

Strange to take Dack off

 

[Drog]

Wharton diving in and skinned there

 

[Dunnfc]

Hedges on for Gallagher

 

[Drog]

Hedges on for Gallagher (injury)

 

[Drog]

Tierney taking a turn for the worse by denying bbd a foul and worse delaying hedges substitution

 

[Drog]

Pressure building need to keep possession better and slow the game down. This is where we need a leader on the pitch.

 

[Dunnfc]

Needed Dack still on or a lump get Hirst on actually. Would like us to target miles leaburn from Charlton in NY. Next BBD.

 

[Drog]

Why no yellow card for pukki?

 

[Drog]

Hanley gets one for the same thing on Dolan

 

[Dunnfc]

Get travis on
