Season 20/21: The Official Norwich City vs Swansea City Match Thread

[Fireboy]

Ironically, normally we have a decent finisher but no service, this year we have loads of service but a seemingly below-par finisher.

Lowe is a decent striker though, we have to give him time. Frustrating though.

His instincts are right. He's getting into the right positions. If he was a total duffer he wouldn't even be doing that.

For whatever reason the finish isn't there with him right now. Maybe a lack of confidence, may be a lack of quality. I don't think we're doing him any favours leaving him in the firing line at the minute because it'll just become a vicious circle. Time to start Gyokeres or even Cullen.

Him playing alot of minutes cant be doing him any good but we dont see them in training, perhaps cooper trusts him to play 90 mins three times a week.

Fkn arse nuggets. We played well enough to win that against a very good Norwich side. Even first half, great tactical change at half time that saw us control the second half up until 80 mins. Ayew hitting the post you can't do anything about as he did everything right. Lowe's got to do better though. We can't work our arses off and control games but then fail to put away our 2 gilt edge chances. Well we can, but we'll be lucky to make the playoffs that way. Really disappointing fk ups in front of goal today which let the whole team down.

And that save form Freddie. Jesus. Possibly best I've ever seen from one of our keepers, even though it was offside. He didn't know that though.

Agree was a superb save

Would also save that based on today's game these two sides will be there or therabouts at the end of the season

Norwich are the best team we have played yet IMO

I'm not so sure we'll be thereabouts if we don't take or chances. Maybe we'll have enough to sneak into the playoffs. In terms of general quality of play though, yep we should be up there. It was a really decent, high quality game today.

That 19 year old sub Mumba cruelly exposed Connor for the defensive liability that he is.

Did you watch the whole game?

Difficult. I think he'll come good once he hits the back of that net. As you say he's getting into the positions. We'll need to rotate anyway so starting with the Gok and bringing Lowe on for 30 minutes in second half to use his pace could well be an option. Haven't really seen enough of Cullen to give an opinion tbh.

Either way its an area we need to address in January as best we can

Watching Brewster again tonight he looks like a fish out of water

A game we didn't deserve to lose.
Plenty of positives from today. Not least the tactical switch that swung the game completely in our favour.
Signs that Cooper is becoming more flexible and proactive? A shame that we have to wait two weeks to find out really.

Can’t fault Cooper on those substitutions fair play. He’s certainly more proactive. Happy days I reckon.

Yes.

I've been as critical of Cooper as anyone, but the last 3/4 games have been a real step forward. Attacking football. Proactive tactical changes. Keep this up and we won't go far wrong.

As we all know hes more confident because he has a better squad, players he can trust.

Onwards and upwards YJB.

Connor was great wasn't he. Back to his best imo. The busy c*nt was everywhere.

Doc I'm being generous

We've played really well in this mini part of the season especially the last 5 games

The downside is those 5 games have got us just 8 points - we've deserved quite a bit more than that IMO

Hopefully what goes around comes around Phil

OK. I'll give you that.

It's taken eighteen months but maybe Cooper's finally getting it. I'm happy with that for now.

Listen mate, I've been onto him a fair few times but realised midway through last season hes never managed men before so have him a chance but towards the end of last and the start of this season he kept not making substitutions and when he did they were late and reactive not pro active, now we realise why, it's because he didnt trust his bench as since the new signings have come in it's all changed, so glad to see it and touch wood we might see a few more signings if we are still in the mix.
