v Norwich City (a) - 5/11/23

[Bethnal]

Looks like we’re seeing the half out, but one more and the fans will be absolutely howling. Worth pushing for, they won’t recover from it.

James Hill has been an excellent loan signing so far, very assured at the back, both CB and RB.

Every other pass seems to find a Norwich player.

Because he's trying difficult passes to progress the play - comes with the territory.

Dolan air shot, rather like my golf

That could be extended to about 80% of Broughton's signings.

That's a major stretch.

[matt83]

Considering A Wharton has loftier ambitions than little old rovers. He needs to up his general effort by loads and needs to stop giving the ball away. He seems to be a YouTube highlights reel sort of player.

Not sure you could say 80% overall. But I still think he has done a decent job with the funds he has had.

He's played well today though, credit to him

[Butty]

Can’t believe I said we’d lose this game. This lot are absolute garbage. Worst team we’ve played all season bar maybe QPR, don’t let them get one back and get the fans up, finish them off. 

[rovers11]

Excellent half. We need that third goal to kill it off.

It would be criminal if we let a dreadful Norwich side get anything from this game. Wagner will be gone after today.

he is`nt getting half the space he had last season because other teams have sussed him out,he has to step up and adapt his game to progress

[Andy]

Very good first half. Far from over, as much as I like Wahlstedt, he has an error in him.

However, hopefully a vital 3 points for this team of useless cloggers, in their desperate fight against relegation.

Or, in less bollocks talk, puts us 6 points from 3rd.

I like Hill a lot, but S.Wharton has also been good today. Moran and Tronstad both very good and you have to give credit to Dolan, his form has really picked up in recent weeks.

 Not my favourite player and he has been poor most of this season but he's played well the past few games

[moerpho]

Great first half and finally some variation in our attacking play. Mixing it up seems to pay off and thus we lead 2-0 against a horrible Norwich side. They remind me of how we often looked under Mowbray: no plan, no strategy, play it around and hope we score.

[roverandout]

Excellent display but Adam Wharton has Been a bit disappointing.  He has the talent to take the game by the scruff of the neck but he's very sloppy

[Miker]

The only thing better than this resounding 2-0 lead, is watching Duffy look like a right plonker trying to defend against us.

[pick32]

Wharton needs to step up and show his class in this game like he did against Chelsea, Also think Moran has had a decent game but abit like Rochina needs to release the ball sooner in a lot of cases 

[Trinidad Rover]

2 lovely goals, we are excellent on the counter attack.

Scott Wharton is a concern - looks a shadow of the player he was a season or so ago. Positioning all over the place.

Moran and Dolan playing well. Hill excellent as per.

Szmodics looks shattered.

[tonyoz]

Two excellent goals and should have been more…..Norwich look poor.

JRC has been excellent except for the dumb booking and I really like Hill. Adam has been largely disappointing but Wahlstedt is a bleeding liability. It’s no coincidence that the panic has returned to our “play it out from the back” tactics since he arrived. He puts other players in danger nearly every time.

I’m a Dolan critic but he’s had some nice moves so far. Pity we aren’t 5 up!

[AllRoverAsia]

Two very good goals. 

I didn't realise Norwich were that bad although they improved later in the half.

Next goal important.

Chris Sutton is a class act.

[simongarnerisgod]

all the more frustrating when you can see that if you give jdt some transfer money,he`ll more than likely get us promoted,we are only 3/4  players short of challenging imo

I think some have been very very good. 
Don’t think any of us thought we could get a decent replacement for Dack (and I was extremely sceptical) but I think Szmodics has been superb ever since about half way last year. 
Hyam has been a very good signing too.

Very concerning which is a shame. There is definitely a player in there as we have seen. Needs a confidence boast. Seems very uncomfortable with the ball at this feet these days.

Think Moran been quiet. Sammie usually looks like that🤣

Norwich fan

'Casper: As ever, we've created enough chances to be out of sight, but have been wasteful in front of goal. Barnes is right, we need a proven finisher to make all our good approach play worth something.'
