After being told we were getting a manager whose teams generally don't concede that many goals, to concede 6 stupid, preventable ones in our last 2 matches is unacceptable.
Still some positives by the sounds of things. Tony Watt must start as many matches as possible now. We look so much more dangerous when he is around.
Based on the first 60mins they deserved the win yet the difference in squads definifely played a factor... on the basis of the last 30mins we deserved a draw but you dont deserve anything in Football its what you do that matters.
Luzon credit to him made some good substitutions (we were far too narrow in the first half) and was brave taking Jackson off.
Positives were that Watt and Vetokele seemed to link up well and a goal for the latter should hopefully boost his confidence.
Terrible, woeful, diabolical etc etc in the first half. Decent twenty minutes in the second, but as soon as Watt failed to find Igor you knew what was coming. JBG had his worst game for us.
First half performance was abysmal - Luzon doesn't have a clue - endless long balls up to Vetokele - couldn't string 2 passes together. Why didn't Watt start? Bulot was awful and so was Buyens. Soft goals conceded and not one shot in first half. WTF has happened to our club???
What does Joe Gomez have to do to get game time ? Solly shouldn't be playing two games in three days, Bikey shouldn't be playing full stop yet Gomez sits on the bench.
And I've got a non-going Newcastle supporter at work who's complaining they're 'only' getting 47,000. Depressed. Bloody well depressed. Bloody, and excuse my language, but bloody, effing, bloody depressed. Jesus.
Only got two cause Narwich totally switched off. We were an embarrassment. Started with wrong formation and never recovered. Don't be fooled by the score, as a contest we were never in it.
That loss was down to Luzon. Bad decision to start with Bulot. Bad decision to have Watt on the bench. Bikey needs a break. I'm actually looking forward to seeing Johnson start. Never thought I'd say that when we were being tipped to take him. But anything's better at the moment, and you never know we might stop giving away soft goals. Oh, and I also blame the Belgian muppet who put the Israeli muppet in charge. Fuck right off!
Our c. £1m midfield general marquee January signing continues to sit on the bench whether we're looking to get back in the game or looking to stay in it.
Luzon decides to wait until the 94th minute to chuck Bikey up front, after which he immediately wins two flick ons.
Buyens and Bulot continue to prove that players are humans and not commodities. You can't just move players about Europe and expect them to play well/try when they don't want to be here/don't care.
First half was the worst I've seen for quite some time, no fight, no class, no pace, no nothing. We get a throw in and we're stationery, no one wants the ball - Norwich were the opposite.
Second half we pulled back two goals without ever looking like the better side, Watt livened thing up and putting Cousins in the centre gave us more urgency and pace where previously Buyens and Jackson were just sitting.
In the second half they were still creating chances and finally took one to kill us off. They could bring Hoolahan and Jerome off the bench - we had Lepoint sitting there!
Lots of poor performances, I thought Buyens and Bikey were the worst, just going through the motions, Bikey kept throwing his arms up in the air in despair! No where near a 'beast'!
Showed real fight to get back in it but ultimately another defeat and the gap to the bottom gets ever smaller. Norwich could have been 4 up before Watt and Harriot's efforts off the bench gave us false hope. Really can't see how this team can stay up.
Buyens was shocking, as was Igor despite his goal. Wiggins continues to go bankwards and it looks like the malaise has even spread to Solly.
No stand out performances on our side and would give mom to Watt even though he was only on the pitch for one half. Would love a Grabban in our team - another from the Eddie Howe coaching school.

Spot on and although its easy to pick out individuals who had poor games (most of them) I lay the blame at the clueless head coach who is way out if his depth.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, gudmondsson is pony. What does he actually do? It's all good scoring worldys every now and then but his set pieces are awful.he doesn't take anyone on, He has no bottle and milked out of at least 4 tackles. Buyens the same. Bikey is a joke of a defender. Feel sorry for watt and cousins who gave there all. I honestly think well be playing in league 1 next season . And we all know who will be to blame for that
Need to take out Buyens and put Cousins in the middle. Watt needs to start. Vetokele did a lot of chasing and I feel for him because there is almost zero creativity in our midfield. Used to love Bikey but he is frustrating me now. We could do with some quality loans asap. I am growing fearful for our stay in this division
A very uncomfortable night apart from 20 minutes in the second half. The starting line up was puzzling. Who picket Bulot? I think we all know the answer to that one. Our defending was a joke tonight. Bikey needs to be dropped. The keeper has Thurams punching gloves on as well. Cousins was the only one interested in the first half, Buyens and Bulot were anonymous liabilities and Jackson was clearly not match fit. Second half we were much better thanks to Watt and Harriot but to be frank we couldon't have been much worse. I felt Norwich were always going to get a winner but at least showed some fight. I'm hoping the goals from our strikers will give them some confidence for Saturday.
How can he start with 1 up front at home after starting with 2 at Boro. Having two out and out strikers made a big difference offensively 2nd half.
As others said the two goals flattered us and the first half was abysmal.
Even the more reliable players at the start of the season look terrible. Ben-Haim clueless, Bikey a liability, WIggins poor. Less said about the midfield the better - don't know what peoole see in Cousins.
Watt is a class act and MUST start Sat with Igor who may gain some confidence from the goal.
Poor numbers as expected and v.disgruntled but did get behind them for the brief time we actually turned up. Decent Norwich support.
Can't believe Millwall and Leeds both won away. Im relying on Rotherham being the 3rd worst team come the end.
Me and the lads all lumped big on a win tonight which made it more gutting.

Why only start with one up front at home?
Don't play Gudmundsson on the right anymore.

I don't want to talk about the rest.

This is going to be a long end to the season...

Two goals from two strikers a reason for hope, some of the aimless play before that - and especially from free kicks - a cause for more concern.
Really need a result on Saturday now.
Henderson (if fit)
Solly. TBH. Johnson. Fox
Cousins.
Gudjonnsson. Jackson. Harriott
Watt. Vetokele
All of the defenders were awful. So we're the midfield to be fair...
We made it too easy for Norwich, who were gifted a win.
That fat **** Bikey is not fit to lace Morrison boots. He is shit and does not deserve to be anywhere near first team.
Luzon do not pass the buck, you are an awful manager. No wins in 14.
We are in trouble
