You were very eloquent and professional on Canary Call, Jack. The period when Doyle came on and played central defence with Hills, before going to left back when Duffy came on, looked particularly promising, with Doyle sliding some great balls into midfield to try and launch attacks. Unfortunately Forson was no longer on the pitch, and Gibbs was unable to take advantage as he is nowhere near as good. But looking forward to seeing this combination on Saturday. Incidentally Jack, I was very impressed with the pressing, work-ethic and general hold up play of Stevenage's No.9 Louis Appere. The transfer window is still open, we need strikers and there are good players as well as value to be had in the division below. Interested to hear your thoughts.
Forson!! What a player!! I’d even say he has more technicals than Sara! If he can finish as well he will be an NCFC legend! Plus how great to see Onel score two!! Hopefully, that will be the start for him! Brad and Callum also look quality. Not getting carried away, it was Stevenage after all.
Congrats Jack, making moves! It wasn’t a perfect performance, but I think fans will accept a back step, if they feel it’s part of a larger movement. Sunday felt like more of the same. Tonight, the new coach and the young players showed positive signs.
Rob Butler sounded rather different. Seriously though, you did a great job on Canary Call. Interesting point about how the defeat at Oxford could become the wake-up call the squad needed. A professional footballer "not motivated to play" the first game of the season is baffling.
@@MarlboroughBlenheim1 yeah okay... Point is? Our back 4 had an average age of what? 21? With fisher only having a handful of first team games and both cb making the debuts? Need to cut them a little slack
@@keiranschofield7693 All of this is academic. The test wasn’t against a mid table league one side in a competition Norwich are not going to win anyway playing younger players. The test was against Oxford and it is against Blackburn. Let’s see what things look like at the end of the Blackburn match.
To be fair, with the way Thorup wants the team to play, we will be conceding goals in the vast majority of our games this season (regardless of defensive personnel). I guess the only thing that really matters however, is that we end up scoring more at the other end than we concede. Should make for good entertainment if nothing else!
