The excuse we keep hearing after another defeat from some quarters. Their keeper hasn't made a save, in fact I can't recall us forcing an away keeper into a save of note yet. That was atrocious Time to get Tony Pulis back in 😆

It's not looking good is it? Not signing a dominant centre half and a big mobile centre forward was a dereliction of duty. I remain completely underwhelmed by Alex Neil. His record since he was appointed is atrocious.

Another 2-0 defeat today I think. Wesley and Campbell are poor. I would try that lad from Celtic and take Wesley off. Midfield does not work with those three, Would put Johnson on for Laurent. Don’t think Neil will make those changes though!

Wesley has been poor but the service in to him has been garbage. Balls at head height on the full or big up and unders bouncing just over the half way line, and the nearest stoke player 15 yards away. He’s good if you can get the ball down, let him pin his CB and get players running off him. I know he was meant to be a plan B, but if he’s playing we have to adapt our game to him, otherwise he’s not effective. It’s on AN as far as I’m concerned, tactics look stupid to me. I’m not seeing any encouraging signs, we have gone backwards. He has no chance up there. Totally isolated and our passing non existent

Alex Neil worries me. He's supposed to be a tactical master - aint seen any evidence yet! Been saying that to my friends over the last couple of weeks, which is very worrying, just don't think he's got it

Fortunately, Norwich don’t look great. I can see how Rotherham beat them last time out.
We have players who don’t look at all comfortable in the positions they are being asked to play. Gooch is doing OK but clearly better on the right. Leris is no full back on this showing. Jun Ho is lost on the wing.
Need to improve a lot to get anything from this game.

We have had some poor Strikers at Stoke but this guy is utter dross ..powder puff , for a Brick S house he’s like a big fairy ! He makes Diego Costa look like a madman spawn of gengis khan. I thought his biggest attribute would be his physicality, it is his worst! You'd better advise me of what his best are then because it isn't his mobility or aerial ability or shooting.

Wow a ball into Wesley, a shot on target and movement. Second half is already better.

Do Norwich still play that incredibly irritating samba dance tune after goals?
If so, as we often seem to be hopeless at Carrow Road, I fully expect Delia Smith to be dancing to it in the 2nd half. 🙂

The Norwich centric commentary I've got are very surprised Leris wasn't hooked at half time.

Wesley being shirt pulled again, ref played on correctly but should have booked the fouler after.

Have those words before the match not wait till the game's got away from us by half time. Was the same thing at Millwall. Rank awful first half, much better second half but we were already behind and weren't able to turn it around.

For all the excitement over our flurry of unknown hidden talents unearthed by the genius of Jared and his scouting app.. it would appear the reason mid table stoke city could attract some of these players is because they are not hidden gems, just more mid table championship standard players. Still have hopes for vidal, mmae, burger and bar... can those 4 carry us through the season? Neil doesn't know what he's doing, and we neglect the defence too much. That's what's going on here.
