35 gone, Norwich are pressing high and we are really struggling to get out.
Ball constantly with Dunne, Cook and Paal. Too deep. No threat. Norwich comfortable right now. Chair and Willock are very wide and Dykes has nobody near him.
A very dull first-half. Norwich scored with their only real chance. As for us, our lack of a cutting edge is very alarming. Neatly passing it around in triangles is all well and good, but we look clueless in the final third. Maybe a bit of luck from a corner is the only way I can see us scoring.

I thought we were poor. We seem totally clueless about how to create even a basic chance.
We need Armstrong on, he at least runs at teams and gets in behind.
What I did see seemed to show the same problem facing England currently: not enough desire to make that move forward with the ball into the box, preferring instead to maintain possession by passing backwards....
I can't see where our next goal is coming from, let alone our next win. Very worrying.
True, if we cannot get the ball into the goal area or deliver good crosses from the wings then we might as well just defend! I saw no improvement from either Kelman or Armstrong instead of Dykes. Both of them are poor when it comes to gaining or retaining possession. We desperately need a striker who can do that!
