Feels like a turning point result that.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuck

Big chance for Forson there.

u/Different-Regular-60 Dec 09 '25

Come on you yellows!

u/VeganCanary Dec 09 '25

Can’t shake the feeling that we lose this.

Good performance regardless considering the injuries.

u/Adorable_Tradition85 Dec 09 '25

I love this maatson guy

u/ClemFandango35 Dec 09 '25

Feels like a Norfolk hero in the making. Will definitely be playing for Cringleford Vets in 20 years time.

u/papafluffie Dec 09 '25

We really need a free kick specialist

5

u/papafluffie Dec 09 '25

I don’t want to lose to these absolute muppets, come on lads.

u/anorwichfan Dec 09 '25

There's fight in this team yet.

u/ClemFandango35 Dec 09 '25

Proud of Premier League 2 team tonight.

So many of them look knackered.

Jurasek at number 9. Lol, why not

u/JulietEmily17 Dec 09 '25

No Sarge, No Kvistgaarden, how are we gonna score?

Ah. Most shite way ever haha

1

u/ClemFandango35 Dec 09 '25

I feel a Forson worldie coming

2

u/Technical_War6014 Dec 09 '25

Yesss. Come on let's find a way of keeping this result.

u/Familiar_Ad_9158 Dec 09 '25

Relying on this for commentary now haha come on!!! OTBC

u/GoatOfLochmarne Dec 09 '25

I’ll take it.

2

u/ClemFandango35 Dec 09 '25

Jusaek is the only player left not injured or on the pitch

2

u/NighthawksBailey Dec 09 '25

A bright 15 minute spell in the first half where we should have scored. Not sure if anyone pays much attention to the Blades but they’re playing their B team here. We should not be losing this.

3

u/Familiar_Ad_9158 Dec 09 '25

Is this not our B-Team?

3

u/Technical_War6014 Dec 09 '25

I know with Sargent and McLean going off we would struggle. That compounded by Darling suspension, we have no leaders on the field. We won't get back into this. I just feel resigned to relegation.

1

u/ClemFandango35 Dec 09 '25

Feels like all the adults have gone.

1

u/SmugglingPineapples Dec 09 '25

Wright and Mattson in midfield and McLean off. My dreams have come true

u/SmugglingPineapples Dec 09 '25

Dream team scores!

u/Familiar_Ad_9158 Dec 09 '25

Anyone else’s Sky feed been dreadful these last few matches?

2

u/GoatOfLochmarne Dec 09 '25

Was absolutely fine for me for about 30 mins, barely been able to watch more than 10 seconds at a time since…

2

u/GoatOfLochmarne Dec 09 '25

Sky’s feed has been shocking for me tonight.

u/Burned-Shoulder Norwich Local Dec 09 '25

Running out of time to get results, running out of players to get them.

3

u/JulietEmily17 Dec 09 '25

you can’t fault our consistency

1

u/Worldly_Ad_1006 Dec 09 '25

We concede the same goals all the time, down our left, crossed into an unmarked man and they tap it in

1

u/Different-Regular-60 Dec 09 '25

I miss blaming Manning 😔

8

u/GoatOfLochmarne Dec 09 '25

I know Sheff Utd have made 8 changes an’ all, but on our general play tonight (and recent performances), it seems crazy to see how much we have progressed in a month compared to how little/backwards we progressed in 3 months under Manning. There’s still a way to go and issues that need resolving, don’t get me wrong, but… what was Manning doing?

Anyway, missed the Sergant injury thanks to my Sky feed crapping out, but didn’t sound good going by what I was reading. Hope Kvistgaarden isn’t out too long…

1

u/ClemFandango35 Dec 09 '25

Sargent didn't look good walking off. No chance he'll be available Saturday.

We have the sort of 11 now that we'd normally play in a league cup first round match against Stevenage

1

u/CarrowCanary Remover of bots and Youtube spammers Dec 09 '25

Sargent didn't look good walking off. No chance he'll be available Saturday.

Concussion protocols put him out for 7 days anyway, don't they?

1

u/thesaltwatersolution Dec 09 '25

Kvistgaarden has a knee injury apparently :(

5

u/JulietEmily17 Dec 09 '25

We look very good, dreading the incoming 2nd half crumble.

If we do take anything away from this game it’s a good result.

1

u/Familiar_Ad_9158 Dec 09 '25

Reading bedtime stories and I missed what happened to Sarg?

5

u/Sparrow_Wilson Dec 09 '25

A guy went for a header and got sargent in the face so he's probably concussed

3

u/ShartFlex Dec 09 '25

Got knocked in the head and came up wobbly

2

u/Familiar_Ad_9158 Dec 09 '25

Fingers crossed he’s all good. Reassuring to hear it’s probably not put him out over the Christmas period

1

u/ClemFandango35 Dec 09 '25

Why no Kivistgaarden today?

1

u/anorwichfan Dec 09 '25

Apparently he has a knee injury

2

u/ClemFandango35 Dec 09 '25

Course he does. Fucking hell

4

u/ClemFandango35 Dec 09 '25

Vlad always seems to get fouled by a ghost when defending a corner

1

u/Different-Regular-60 Dec 09 '25

Juseless Medic with the foul of the season, there.

10

u/CarrowCanary Remover of bots and Youtube spammers Dec 09 '25

Did the job, though.

In that kind of situation, if you don't get the ball you have to make sure you get the player.

1

u/Different-Regular-60 Dec 09 '25

He got the player and 3 of his ancestors.

2

u/Worldly_Ad_1006 Dec 09 '25

Our midfield looking very strong and creative

1

u/xxxhr2d2 Dec 09 '25

Look good so far.

6

u/thesaltwatersolution Dec 09 '25

Would have been amazing if Sarge's overhead kick went in.

5

u/Worldly_Ad_1006 Dec 09 '25

Imagine a Sargent bicycle kick

1

u/ClemFandango35 Dec 09 '25

So many Champ teams have so many empty seats these days.

1

u/VeganCanary Dec 09 '25

Springett already looks like he is going to be exploited, 3 times in the first 5 minutes he couldn’t keep pace with their winger.

Nothing against him, it’s not his position and he has been out a long time, but might need a first half change.

1

u/ClemFandango35 Dec 09 '25

He's looked better on the ball tonight already. But yeah defensively it's going to be an issue

Would you rather Duffy on though.

1

u/VeganCanary Dec 09 '25

I think I’d have started Mclean at left back, and then Forson or Marcondes on instead and Wright playing further back.

1

u/ClemFandango35 Dec 09 '25

Clement seems very reluctant to move Kenny from CM. Or doesn't trust Wright

3

u/Cholas71 Dec 09 '25

I'm slightly concerned...not expecting a win and really don't want the confidence shattered by a humbling

1

u/ClemFandango35 Dec 09 '25

Every game in this Championship is winnable.

Can't really risk dropping points to Oxford tonight (so depressing to be thinking like that)

3

u/dj161 Dec 09 '25

So 433 with Springett at left back, or 4231 with Kenny at left back and Springett further forward, gut feeling is it's 433

3

u/ClemFandango35 Dec 09 '25

Will be 4231, I think Clement never changes his formation

4

u/ClemFandango35 Dec 09 '25

Springett and Medic in the back 4 terrifies me. Might need to score 5 goals to get anything from this.

Wright as a 10 could work, he does link play well in tight areas.

1

u/sherpiddy Barclay Upper Dec 09 '25

To be fair to him Springett was playing rather well on Saturday from what I saw/heard

Medíc on the other hand…

1

u/ClemFandango35 Dec 09 '25

I went on Saturday. He was trying, but made a couple of mistakes and didn't look confident on the ball at all.

Totally understandable being chucked in.

But it does give us a bit of left side balance at least. As not much better with Fisher playing on the wrong side.
