I don't think I'll ever stop going on about this, but if you you have to go down to examining minute fractions of centimetres between imaginary lines on the pitch, then the things you are looking for don't matter. That nonsense has lessened the game of football. Also, that game is the only one...

Yep, a bit of a European adventure, see some clubs that I've never seen us face before. It would also mean that we'd have probably won a trophy. Whilst obviously I want us to be successful and get promoted, the Premier League itself holds no real appeal.

I think the Oxford game the main disappointment was that the game should have been done and dusted by half-time.

Disputing this specifically: "Growing up was the same, away from home I mean." In the era you referenced, we won away at the big clubs about as often as you'd expect us to have done. Far less often that we lost, obviously, but it wasn't unknown.

We won several at Anfield in the late mid-late 90s. I can think of at least three.

If only there was some sort of clue in the user name.

Thought Saka was good up until he put the ball in. He was involved though and hassled and harried as he normally does.

I suppose most correctly you'd say that each hand has five digits (or six, for our friends down the road). I'd say those five digits are made up of four fingers and a thumb, but I wouldn't quibble it. I'm a pedantic twat, too, normally.

But their defence wasn't wonderful against us. They got a lot of blocks in but we created multiple very good chances where only poor finishing cost us. Norwich were shit.

Oh, and I have an irrational dislike of Wout Faes. I think it's because he looks like a Poundshop David Luiz, whom I also dislike.

I agree with that; we weren't at our best, and if we had have been, we could have won. But it's still a good point against a team that have got some extremely dangerous players at this level.

Harsh on BTA. He's not a great technical player, but he caused them issues by being a complete nuisance.

Rushworth, Thomas, Kitching and MvE all very good. Rudoni tried to overplay a lot today I thought. Balls into the box generally poor.

Agreed. We had genuine defensive discipline today, which was really good to see.

Take that. Ok for a nil nil. They're not a great team but they have some extremely dangerous players.

I don't think that's true. He played a big part in our first season back up, and dragged us over the line in the first playoff season. He wasn't a top-end championship player, but he could certainly perform at that level. He's still one of the best midfielders we've had in recent times for...

We've played five games.

They're not a proper football club, though.

Any of that down to Birmingham generally being a grubby, dislikeable club and Leicester being cheating bastards, though? So dislikeable generally.

Who knows. We'll never know what the outcome would have been with a different course of action, but it clearly wasn't working, and something had to change. But so far, so good.
