Norwich City vs Watford (away) Saturday 15th October 7:45pm.

[Gunvald Larsson]

Watched it on the telly at a mate's house ..... not impressed at all with the overall performance. Some nice flashes of play at times but, once again, too slow and ponderous and predictable in the build up. Noticeable that our goal came from Dowell rushing forward and not fiddling about with sideways passes et al. Another good finish from m'boy Sarge. Both midfield and, particularly, the defence woefully lacking. The left side of our defence is non-existent. I dunno what else to say ...... oh, yes, Sarge has to play centrally with Pukki in supporting role or even Hugill up front with him so opposition defences can be bullied a bit. We need to inject some pace so Onel must play and our creativity levels must be raised. Nunez looks off the pace lately so give Sara a chance and with Hayden likely to be available he should be able to protect the defence a bit better. Should be interesting on Tuesday.
