NJ in that interview basically confirms we tried to sign Field in January but were “blown out of the water” by Norwich

Been told that Steve Brown let rip about Campbell today why is it only NJ can’t see it0

Some great opportunities for a draw at the end, but even so still a 9 point buffer.2

Wonder who that was.fenaddick said:Sam Field? - That would be my guess as we were actually linked, forgot he was there now until you said, and even though its only a loan I wonder if we were hoping to do a deal with QPR picking up some of his wages, and Norwich offered to pay all of them.Harry Amass would be another guess, as the whole Division were after him... Or Toure from Randers0 -
You’re the fan we need. Laters.DaisyEdwards said:Not a chance I will be renewing ST.
Zero entertainment, no flair, no creativity, no goals and no idea. Sure we will stay up, however who wants to watch another season of that rubbish? Lump it, head it, diag it.
Love to know how often we string 10 passes together. Not one player to get excited about. No strikers no runners, no dribblers. It is like watching a brand of football from the dark ages. Not for me.
Btw- How many goals have refs scored against us?13 -
Agree we wouldn’t go down next season with that front five, but to move forward we need an overhaul for sure.Talal said:
This midfield and forward line has contributed to what looks like us staying up, so I think that's a bit extreme.cafc4life said:Could have lost by more but could also have taken a point. A weird one.
midfield and forward line needs an overhaul next season because we will go down if we don’t.Ref was a wanker1 -
Are you joking? Once moved to his actual position he was our most effective attacking outlet, again. People can say what they like about TC, and they often do, but anyone that watches us every match can see that he’s about the only thing we have that relieves the pressure on our defence match in and match out.king addick said:
Mate come on....he was crap today. Walking back, looking non plussed apart from the last 15.JoshAddick said:The scapegoating of TC is an absolute disgrace. During ‘academy week’ aswell.
Chants of ‘fucking useless’ and ‘he’s fucking shit’, whilst also getting booed when he wasn’t subbed, and jeered when he was subbed. It’s embarrassing.
This is a lad who joined our academy at the age of 8 and has stayed with us throughout, massively contributing to our promotion last season. Give your head a wobble if you’re one of the ones giving him stick week in week out
He needs time out the team and then come on to make the difference and get some confidence.
I don't join in with chants like that but he just wasnt good and hasn't been for a few games and it's okay to see that, it's not scapegoatingIf it wasn’t for TC we’d be in a much worse position than we are now.17 -
On train back to Newark feeling pretty despondent.
Very poor first half and Norwich looked a class above. Can,t fault our effort and work rate but that will only get you so far in this league. We were better second half but always felt that they could step up a gear. Other thoughts:
- that was a clear penalty
- their time wasting should have been punished, not least by adding at least 10mins
- it was clear that TC and Dykes don't work together. Should have started Kelman
- our defence is awesome and is the main reason we are in the position we are
- Mannion is our number 1
- atmosphere was flat but I guess that's what happens when you concede so early with the knowledge that a draw is the best we can hope for.
Despite what some people think I really don't think we are out of trouble yet. We need to to grind out at least one more win and a few draws to be safe.6 -

I couldnt watch much today as was trying to mend my front door lock. Partially successfully
Whenever i did see any live action and we were threatening forwards, TC seemed to be involved. He didnt score but he made a couple of decent chances that i saw and ran into 2/3/4 players on the other times i saw him with the ball. He didnt look sulky, looked to be putting himself about.
he must have been absolutely shocking the rest of the time or, as i am beginni g to believe is the case, there are some complete arseholes in our fan base to be giving him abuse in game.
No reason for that for any of our players. Embarrasing.10 -
Kelman scores in successive games then is benched until the 87th min?29

Lloyd Jones was motm in the lounge and he was fuming said it was a definite penalty7

I hope the chap in the Covered End Lower who had a medical emergency was given the appropriate care as the security staff (all 10 of them) were too busy watching the game - when I went to call them out for not listening to hundreds of us asking for help - I was asked to leave the ground. Seems as though the club have learnt sod all from what happened earlier in the season.1
-
Nathan has produced miracles this season to get us where we are with the money he had, his only blind spot is his reluctance to change the team and formation.
Dykes and Kelman should have been up front today... period. For him and JRC to get only 6 minutes was absolute madness.
As for the elephant in the room TC is not at the races and surely even the most die hard fans of his can see that his confidence is shot to pieces and Nathan should really give him a break, it's not the kids fault he's asked to play in different positions every week.
We need to get over the line asap... But we need 11 fighters for the remaining 7 games and I don't think TC is up for it.
Despite a 9 point advantage we are not safe yet but there's probably a strong likelihood that everyone will run out of games rather than points.

There is something to be said about playing him in the right position which I have previously said but as a striker, he is poor.
I am fed up of the outlet argument though. Having speed to get up the pitch but have no output is pointless. Dykes is a much more effective outlet when he holds up the ball.
As for last statement, that's the joke. I think Carey, Jones would argue that point. As would 6 goal Kelman and Dykes, who has 2 goals and 3 assists in 13 games than Campbells 3 goals 2 assists in 39 games.

Too many passes to players going down cul de sacs forcing us to turn back.0

He put in the cross for our best chance of the game, completed the most dribbles of anyone on the pitch, had the joint second most shots, created the joint second most chances, was only beaten on crosses for us by Carey (set pieces) and Clarke (lots of second balls from his throws) and won us countless corners.

One of the most blatant penalties I’ve seen not given for a while and right in front of the ref and assistant. Jones rightfully fuming at the end and even Clement was trying to calm Jones down as he was heading toward the officials .

For what's it worth, he isn't a striker or LWB so playing out of position won't help him but even then, his was just wandering around etc.
As I said, play him as a winger and he will be so much more effective. Today though he was poor.3 -
Was it just me but I thought they were very cocky playing tippy happy football thought they were Barcelona….FFS you’re just a mid table championship team…better than us …yes… but we should have had a draw with any other ref0

VAR would’ve dealt with the penalty decision and it would’ve been clearly in our favour, but the time added on was simply scandalous. And that’s the ref’s call. Five minutes for all the subs, all the time wasting and two Norwich players down for 3/4 minutes does not make any sense at all. Add to that the Lino on the east side got several decisions wrong. It probably wouldn’t have changed the end result, but that’s not the point.WRICURKINCAM said:
They won't be. That unfortunately, is why VAR has become necessary throughout the whole EFL. The whole thing can be funded by drawing off a negligible percentage of Premiers wealth. Championship Officials would seem no better than anything below. At least Kirkpatrick was mildely entertaining...Addicktion_to_red said:5 minutes of added time - WTF?Stonewall penalty as well from where I was sitting.Ref should be investigated.4 -

Frustrating afternoon against good opposition in form with a totally dominant midfield
Masters of the dark arts as well 😡
The booing of TC shows the moronic element of our support yet again, drives me crazy that he gets put in a position he clearly isn’t up to, as soon as he went wide he’s the player from last season but by then the bellends behind the goal have already made their mind up and he continues to get grief
Stonewall pen and the ref was a wanker all afternoon, 5 mins injury time was just ridiculous2 -
Dramatic?...what are you saying, he was pulled over, the ref saw it and ignored it, I mean he wasn't going for an Oscar, just relying on officials to do their bloody job, and they failed miserably...guinnessaddick said:

Paid the price for a really poor first half. Far too much space offered to their midfield at times5
