Can’t really carry on like this can we.

 

[JackFish]

Struggling to find any positives today.
The weather?

Norwich have lost 7 in a row at home so we at least have a bit of a buffer to the bottom three. Definitely nothing positive to say about our performance.

 

[Smurph]

Something needs to change and I have a feeling it is the manager.

 

[Swans Jack]

Rumored of two large investors coming on board. New bar opening and snoop and modric investment. Proberly gonna have a massive sponsor next year. Anyone else think the club won't be feeling the stress now to pull the trigger?

The next move will show the real ambition down there. This shit show on the pitch cannot be part of the master plan so it's the only course of action

Who is going to be in charge of picking the manager?

 

[CygnusX1]

Sheehan booed - all over for him

He’ll say 7 games in 21 days. Blah blah.
He should wait to change a team when players get tired, not constantly changing it throughout to stop them becoming tired. Especially before an international break.

 

[Frankie Burrows Cap]

Can’t argue with the comments I’ve read summing up today’s game. Tried to look for the positives and always a fan of giving managers time but this season is heading towards all the poor parts of the last 4 seasons.

International break usually a chance for a reset (whether changing manager or not) but with half the squad away on international duty there’ll not be any time on the training ground.

As someone mentioned there’s still a reasonable gap to the bottom 3 (plus Oxford & Portsmouth look poor) but all of a sudden we’re 4 points off mid table and 8 from the top 6 with no sign of us putting back to back wins together to close those gaps.

Do you still want to give him more time?

And that’s the word. Ambition.
We go on the pitch with no ambition to attack the opposition or play to win with intent.

The problem this, this match has really exposed how tactically unaware Sheehan is. Outsmarted. He keeps experimenting, like a manager who didn't have a pre season. Sheehan saved us last year, but thank you for your time, move on now.

not as easy as you may think, from a financial veiw, if the poweres that be feel he cannot pull things together they willhave to spend a fair wedge for him and staff to be paid off, that wiould put us in the f f p rules limits and then to bring in another set will cost, I like Mr Sheean a great chap but things seem not to be going well on match days, so its up to the powers that be, and who would do the job ?
Ipswich will be there or there abouts at seasons end just shows how much of a gap there still is
another frustrating result and we slide down the table and this group of games just shows the big big gap between the better teams and us

 

[lidojack]

Boro will be looking for a manager soon.
Manning can't survive today at Norwich.

We have to act quickly and decisively or we'll be stuck with the dregs of the manager market.

 

[Londonlisa2001]

That’s probably the tipping point.

Almost no positives.

Just awful.

I thought Franco did everything he could and Eom when he came on. The rest were varying levels of ineptitude. Actually Vigs probably couldn’t have done anything more as well to be fair.

We don’t know whether it’s the players or the manager. So the manager will have to change (again). There will presumably come a point when someone somewhere says hold on, perhaps the players aren’t all that. (Our players today were utter crap but they’ll get away with it).

Still, we have lots of new cameras to record the goings on for content…

 

[3swan]

Can’t really carry on like this can we.

He deserved the chance, but there's been no signs of improvement.
It is fair to question whether the run last season was partly due to the experience of O'Brien
Or Fotheringham as assistant.

Everything is on the table I think he's trying his best but we can't keep giving points away so many times

Paul Raynor was the best footballer at chesting the ball. I seem to recall.
