Canaries v Dem Blades.

[Baron99]

As much as I'd like the Blades to stick half a dozen past that annoying time waster Gunn, (referees take notice & book him more often & not leave it until the 87 min, like a few seasons ago at BDTBL, before you have your first word with him), but I reckon it'll be a 1 - 1 draw.

- Max Lowe, “pants down”…. There is the reason he was free. Not very good, leave it at that. 
 

- Barry bannan, bizarrely still the messiah seemingly. He isn’t’t up to scratch any more. You might get 2 or 3 good passes out of him over 90 mins, but having him in there is like playing with 10 men. He passes and then drops deep all the time, he doesn’t move play forwards, he is static and invites pressure. You have pace out wide but nothing pushing on with it… he’s done. More fool you lot.

 

- Danny Rohl. What is it? 9 or 10 in and nothing really going… They are now his players and this is where you see how good a manager he is. Tactically poor tonight. Leeds stepped down a gear without any problems.

 

- Chansiri - Supposedly one of the best managers around they tell us, not sure why? But chansiri allows one mediocre signing and bulks the rest with freebies again. Zero ambition and leaves you scratching your head where you stand going forwards. Chansiri obviously isn’t in a position to do so.

 

-  All the above while ticket prices hit sky high and replica shirts follow. Worrying

Blades win against a bogey team

[Baron99]

Following from BBC Football website. 

 

'Norwich are winless in their last four home league games against Sheffield United (D1 L3), having won eight of their previous nine against them at Carrow Road (L1).

 

Sheffield United are unbeaten in their last seven league games against Norwich (W5 D2), picking up as many wins in this run as they had in their previous 20 against the Canaries combined (D3 L12).

 

But Norwich City are unbeaten in their last 19 home games across all competitions (W12 D7), last going 20 without defeat at Carrow Road in 1986 under Ken Brown.'

 

I still reckon a draw.  1 - 1.

[Alextopman]

Anything other than a loss would be OK.

[Baron99]

I called it right, 1 - 1.  I'll take a draw a Norwich. 

[Alextopman]

Fair result and a decent game.

[PapaLazarou]

Happy with a point away against a decent side.

 

No complaints

The level playing field helped make it a decent game?.

Solid early point against a team who will hold their own as always this year. It’s knitting and the new lads are begging to get it, we are not the finished article yet but that is understandable. A performance like that beats a good few teams in this league, so it is exciting to see what happens when it comes together properly.

 

Small early steps towards a bigger eventual goal. A lot is about the change at our football club so these early foundations are vital… very positive
