Norwich City Vs Derby County

Well ! First 15 mins Norwich burnt a lot of fuel, made us look slow and vulnerable. They have some tricky players.

Better last 30. Some breaks, plenty of work. .. it’s not exciting but it is absorbing. Defence has done well. Holmes and Kam the man have energy. 
 

Byrne looks like the Best Buy in a long time.

Ref is an absolute joke.

Missing a bit of a trick with Clarke at centre half.  If we can utilise a bit more width his long pass is very good.

A very handy tool in this kind of game.

Wouldn't move Davies from the middle spot at all though. We really need him there

Reminds me of how Leicester set up against Man City last weekend with the 541 in the first 25 mins to frustrate them and keep it tight initially. Rooney doesn't quite have Vardy's pace as an outlet over the top, but with the whole team pushing further up we'll make chances.

When you consider what this game comes off the back of, we don’t look soft bellied and easy to beat which is the polar opposite of last week. 
 

It’s uninspiring but bookies favourites restricted to 2 shots at home isn’t the worst thing. 
 

1 thing I would change is Knight for Holmes. Get Holmes in the middle and get Knight working together with Byrne down that right.

Better,not great but better.

Acceptable away performance under circumstances. Not missing Wis or Van Der Mike. Everyone working hard. Ibe on wing plus an aggressive striker would improve matters. We could snatch a win if Norwich do not score in next five minutes of second half.

It's a step in the right direction. Played when we could, turned them around when they pressed, defended well enough.

Wasn't expecting it. And this is something we can build from

Just please God give us a point or 3 for our efforts. Just something to start us off. 

Oh, and play like this second half. A bit of pace up front and one of these direct balls has more chance of leading to something, maybe? Or is Rooney needed to bounce it off?

Crowd has finally woken up. 

Bloody annoying tho, they only kick in when the commentary team say summat. I'd sooner have the stadium noise only option, but doesn't seem to be available.

Pros - Keeper looked solid, no defensive lapses, Shinnie breaking up play, Byrne looks very promising. 

Negatives-Jozwiak barely touched it. Rooney looks unfit.

Very negative tactics but Norwich look a bit clueless after a good start. 

The current style is basically, here Jozwiak have the ball and we’re all going to stand here and watch you. Of course he is going to look poor in this set up.

When we have the ball, very worst I’d expect to see Byrne, Buchanan, Holmes and Knight busy a gut to get forward but they don’t.

Holmes is scared to make any kind of run without the ball that requires physical exercise.

It might be 0-0 at the moment but if this is the medium to longer term style that we’re going to do, then fans will turn soon.
