oh_weds_we_love_you Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I'd also try and throw some negative spin on the opposition if they scored two identical goals with exactly the same routine in a matter of 8 minutes! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londoner1867 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 2 minutes ago, LJM Owl said: Wagner is just bitter. Röhl’s subs won us the point, Wagner’s subs lost his side two points. If you read their fans reactions, it doesn’t seem like the first time that Wagner has mismanaged what should have been a comfortable with for them in the 2nd half. They seemed to settle for a draw too until about the last 2 minutes when they realised they could still get at us Wagner is a joke, would never want him managing us 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanharper Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 How poo must Norwich be - we hadn't scored a goal with a header/shot directly from a corner for a year, haven't scored indirectly from one since the opening day of the season, then they let us do it twice in 8 minutes! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassetts Allsorts Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Nothing Wagner said is untrue, he's just trying to deflect the attention away from his team because they couldn't cope with Pulis ball. Röhl's subs and change in style earned us a point; it takes balls to change your philosophy to suit the team, especially during a game when you are 2-0 down. A lot of managers are too stubborn to do this. I'm happy to see us become more rigid and direct to grind out points, I know it's not the way Röhl wants to play but he knows it might be our best chance of survival. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellbeaten-the-owl Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 As much as people say the passing out from the back doesn't suit our players as soon as we switched to direct battle mode smith, ihekwe, vaulks and Paterson looked perfectly suited and loved it. Always got to have a plan B. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatter Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Put the ball into the opposition penalty area often enough, you will score goals. Tony Pulis idea? well maybe, but they were the words of Howard Wilkinson one of our more succesful managers. An old fashioned approach but at least Danny had the courage to ditch his principles and try something different. Perhaps it was a bit of sour grapes by Wagner because he should look at his own team’s performance. They should have been out of sight at half time and thought they could coast through the second half. Röhl completely changed tactics. Wagner didn’t expect it or react to it. Well done Danny and his players. Only one point but it might be the difference at season end. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agentwalker Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Basically went full on Peterborough style against them that 2nd half. It works but there's no way we can sustain that level of pressure game after game. Just shows through what the players can do when they get like it. Still not convinced with perderson at LB. Seems constantly out of position in previous games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then with a tough game against West Brom but at home, who knows. Don’t want to be needing a win at Sunderland last day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockieOwl Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Their first goal was from a throw-in into the box. Very Pulis-esque if you ask me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said as much criticism the playing out from the back gets and the doubts about the abilities of certain players in our squad to do this, we have picked up 40 points under Röhl. Would we have picked up as many without the change in philosophy, I very much doubt it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players don't look comfortable playing how they are being made to play, especially at home under pressure, the ball is like a hot potato.. Getting the ball forward, direct mode into positions to test the keeper is where they are most happy, surely DR can see this but these continental managers seem to be pig headed with the term 'way the game must be played' ethic.

Think is horses for courses personally, when we have Poveda / Ugbo / Bernard in we can pass it around and create space quite well, when you lose those players you can't expect like kes of smith, diaby and Paterson to do same. Hopefully we stay up and squad recruited with depth that suits Rohls plan A, for now we have a squad which needs approach to suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
