As actually thought was a decent performance in patches - but shown up by inability to carve out a clear cut chance, and getting punished for errors.
I'd like to see us give that formation/style a go for the next few weeks as we need to have 2 strikers on the pitch and Judge flittering around centrally - yes we are a bit exposed on the flanks but both full backs played well enough and didn't let much past them.
And I'm really not that bothered about League 1 next season either, I'm not expecting to walk the division or anything like that, but think our squad will be more than capable of top 6 and just need to ensure Lambert gets the best out of it.
And God I hope Norwich mess this up, they are such an entitled team and fanbase at the moment, so smug and act as though they deserve this and that anyone else who could stop them like Leeds or Sheff U just aren't worthy of it. |  |

Yes, pretty much that. Harrison made a real difference in pressing Norwich at the back, his movement was decent too.
I swore a great deal at the first goal as that ruined any slim chance we had of getting anything from the game but we played ok over the course of the match. Playing ok and still losing 3-0 is why we will almost certainly get relegated.
And definitely agree on the last point, I like the ones who now claim Lambert had nothing to do with their success the most. |  |

Norwich going up puts both the record Prem low points total and the 9-0 in danger IMVHO. |  |

I'm surprised Kings Lynn aren't flying up the league with Culverhouse in charge.... | |

You had more belief last season. That isn't a pisstake it is true, it was the hope that killed us and since he has been gone and our ability to punch above our weight has gone, the hope has gone too |  |

Well said. If we go into the last two games with no chance of avoiding relegation can see Norwich fans blaming us if they miss out on automatic.

Spot on. Freddie worked his nuts off but finally going 2 up top made the difference, it is really hard to ever judge the performance when the other team have the lead so early and parity isn't restored though. I have posted all season about needing 2 up top and how none of our forwards are suited to a one, the only one possible was Walters. We should also play a diamond but let judge float everywhere. I'm not sure why some were slating Keane, i though he was very good but he is not a lone forward
My team for weds would be
Bart
Spence chambers nsiala knudsen
Skuse
Downes judge bishop
Keane Harrison | |

Not much to add to that other, pretty accurately covers all bases.... only to add I had Norwich to win to nil, so that was an easy few quid.
Pennington is good for a goal conceded every game it seems at moment which increased the risk of sooner or later we'll do something daft and concede.
And we've lacked goals for a long time now..... Since 1st Jan 2018, we haven't scored very many at at all. |  |

I didn't mention him but to a degree it does even if you don't want it to. You wouldn't have been so nonplussed if he had been in the dugout yesterday | |

IMO Pennington has been one of the most pointless loan signings of the season.
As you say, he's normally good for gifting at least one goal a game, so I fail to see why someone like Woolfenden would have done any worse.
Time to ditch the pointless loanees after the Derby and Stoke fixtures, which will almost certainly yield no more than a point and seal our fate. |  | | |

Summed it up there re. Norwich - they certainly do come across as so smug and entitled. Leeds in general have been a much better team than them. Where would Norwich be if it weren't for Pukey up front? |  | | |

Doesn't look like we're going to get many games out of Collins, so we may as well play Toto or Woolfy in preparation for next season. | |

Plenty to add to that list
Elder
Bree
Graham
Edun
Quaner
For very different reasons we can possibly add Walters and Collins, injuries can't be helped but signing 35 year olds if gambling
It has been a disaster recruitment wise | |

We can't play woolfenden though
We are not down yet so should play out strongest side until we are. Our strongest side at present includes knudsen and Spence | |

The formation suits us as it means we can play the likes of Sears and Judge in their more natural positions rather than shoehorning players out wide when they don't look comfortable there.
Wouldn't mind seeing Harrison and Jackson start as the front 2 either to be honest (depending how bad Sears' knock is) as Harrison was playing well before being replaced by Keane and Quaner who can't play much more than about 45 and 30 minutes respectively. Jackson's worth persevering with as playing off another striker would be more beneficial for him than trying to be a lone one and I think there's a player in there - in a normal season he would have been 3rd/4th choice behind 2 more experienced players, playing the odd game and learning off the pros rather than being pushed straight into a leading role.
Possibly due to having already accepted it's happening I've changed from relegation being an utter disaster to 'it is what it is and we might as well find the positives and get behind the team for this fresh start'.
Those tw@ts wanted Farke gone and are now lording over him as a genius. If they go up they'll get ripped apart most weeks, which is some small consolation. |  |

To be fair, I've lost track with what's happened to Woolfy... is he still out on loan?
I'd agree Knudsen would be in our strongest eleven, not so much Spence - I thought Bree had a better game yesterday than last week. | |

Bree didn't look convincing and for me Spence is a better all rounder. Spence is also better than Pennington and presumably Emmanuel at right back. Yes he has made some errors this season but all of our defence has and Spence is better in the air and better going forward. We might as well pick our strongest side even if some of our fans don't like the players.
*Emmanuel wasn't good enough when we had him before and couldn't make the team and Shrewsbury. None of our mangers have deemed him ready so I think it is fair to presume that he is still 4th choice at RB | |

Bree is better than Spence, reads the game better and doesn't make the mistakes - Spence is probably a better one on one defender admittedly.
I wonder if any hope of signing Bree in the summer, I doubt it. | |

It must have really hurt when he left them for Villa. | |

I believe that Kings Lynn have gone from fourth bottom to third since he’s been in charge | | | |

Getting plenty of game time only two bookings so not under too much pressure. Should be an asset next season Think be is out of contract end of season unless he had signed.a new one or we have an option on an extra year. | |

Agree on all points, Joe.
I was expecting far worse - a worse scoreline and for us barely to get the call from them. So I wasn't too upset by the result and definitely not by the performance.
We lack a cutting edge and are always liable to concede against decent strikers. This was confirmed yesterday, but we knew that before the game so... #shrugs
It felt like something to build on yesterday. Of course, we do need to stop having "something to build on" (which has been the case several times this season) and actually built something. We'd all like that to be in the Championship, but I'm resigned to that being in League 1 now - this isn't a conclusion I reached yesterday, but has been progressively confirmed over the past couple of months.
If, from yesterday's team, we can keep Chambers, Skuse, Nolan, Harrison, Judge, Sears, Downes, Bishop, maybe Keane and Bart (if we're willing to pay their wages), supplement them with some of our youngsters, we'll be competitive next season and chasing promotion. |  |
