im slightly more worried than optimistic but not pessimistic may I add...beautiful lexical contortions aside, stubbs will have to add more steel to his undoubted talent if we are going to stand a chance over the season.
There needs to be some very astute weighing up of the ability of the back 5 to work the ball and the pace we have there and in midfield if he isnt to be caught out time and again by stronger and better opposition in terms of sheer pace and power.
that Dadi and Teixera bloke did the damage. Our defence looked scared stiff when the latter ran at him. More evidence we should have been a little deeper in that last period for me and needed a big striker for an outlet...
Keeping the passing game going for 90mins plus is a different proposition than the 20 and against teams pressing much more difficult.
Who can forget watching Bournemouth emerge through the divisions and how they looked and performed and perhaps compare to Norwich too. We have a long way to go to get anywhere near them...are we getting closer to the likes of Huddersfiled and QPR, and Fulham with this style of play because thats who we need to beat to stay up.
