Norwich City vs Aston Villa Match Thread.

Quick quiz.  Guess, if you can, who is the only player on the pitch to have touched the ball less than 10 times. 

I'll give you a clue, it's Scott fucking Hogan.

Norwich are playing very deep and are cutting off his preferred through ball. He's useless at this point. Need to throw on Grab or Kodjia now, someone who will at least come back for the ball and can play with it at their feet.

‘I thought there was nothing in it until the first goal.  You cannot legislate for strikes like that.  You have to hold your hand up. But that’s the championship.  There’ll be a lot of twists and turns yet. We’re into the tickly bit.’

Hogan?

There is a very very good player in there.          Appparently.

And nobody has worked harder

He runs around like a puppy with a balloon.  If that puppy never actually got near the balloon of course.  He's a waste of a shirt.

Agreed. He has to come off.

Any player will look shit if they only 'receive' the ball two feet above their head with a massive defender breathing down their neck.

Well that was crap and I suspect it was down to tactics. We were standing off and not pressing them up the pitch. Our wingers didn’t do anything and we were vulnerable to the long ball down the middle.  He needs to change tactics not necessarily the players. Big test for Bruce this as he really has no choice but to go for it now.  Will he show any bottle?

No. Next......

I thought this was on AVTV but no. Bollocks!

Crap isn't it. All these sky games from now until the end of the season, too.

If you have Android, try the Mobdro App. It's on there on sky sports.

Mobdro finally worked for me!

Lazy goal to give away. Wingers are anonymous, movement is crap, they look laboured and ready for the beach. Crap. Can't lose today.

Even a draw is no use.  We absolutely positively have to win.

[ROBBO]

why play high balls to a player that is his size ?

[kippaxvilla2]

Li’l Lee talks a lot of sense on Sky.

[SoccerHQ]

Hogan is too isolated away from home with his style. And ours.

We need more energy on the pitch so Grabban and Kodjia are musts. Just hope SB dosen't leave the changes too late, I'd get both on straight away.

[mr underhill]

I can't wait for Bruce to fuck off. Total clown.

[dorsetvillian]

So painfully slow and predictable against another crap team. Bruce just will not send a team out to play on the front foot. Cardiff/Fulham must be amazed at our lack of desire and urgency. I just don't understand the tactics. Its like a pre season friendly.  So I suppose its 4 forwards on in the second halfl!

Why play him then?  He's either shit, or just not suited to the way we play.  In almost every single game he plays he has far, far fewer touches than every other player on the pitch, for both teams.  That can't be a coincidence.  In Snodgrass, Grealish and Adomah we have 3 of the best creative players in the division.

I think we all know that he'll do nothing until we're 2 down in the 74th minute.
