The stats and eye test show we were all over them and the only team making a vague attempt to win. Players putting nearly every shot off target isn't his doing.

Not converting dominant games like this is going to be our downfall. We’ve already dropped points that we should have converted.

Weird one that. Happy that we didn't lose and happy with the point but should've had 3 points. More to do with bad luck again than playing poorly and we were obviously playing against 12 men.
Onwards and upwards.
At least the bottom 4 has both Sheffield clubs and Wrexham in. Happy days.

We won’t get a referee as diabolical as that every game though
I honestly start to hate football a bit when they let this shit happen. Keeper faking injuries all the time. Players faking injuries all the time. Time wasting.

unbeaten 5 games in, in the playoffs, scored twice as many as we've conceded and it still feels like we've let a few points go and can go up the gears.
Let's hope our annual improvement towards the 2nd half of the season kicks in, and we're setting a good platform atm for a proper run of form.

Ref was the worst one so far this season. But the ref didn’t stop us from being clinical.

Pompey could jump above us tomorrow if they beat Saints at St Marys. But I agree that we're setting a good platform.

You are right about the atrocious finishing of some of our forwards though, whether that was trolling or not.
We should have been in for Kone imo. Will prove to be a bargain.

This is some of the best football I’ve ever seen us play, we do look a bit suspect defensively but it’s worth it for the attacking play. Just need to convert our chances. We win today 80% of the time.

Sure, but we have been very clinical this season and will be many more times than not this season
We are creating the chances and playing very attacking football. Feeling good about this season

Couldn't shoot today though, even the goal we scored he fell over his own toes.

Twenty. Eight.
And in the end we had to Keystone Cops it into the net. Lampard looked absolutely fizzing there

Justifiably. 2 games now we've missed several sitters. Not really moaning for nothing, it's an issue

Walking out heard someone bemoaning BTA wasn’t brought on earlier.
He also thought Rudoni was terrible.
And we have a ‘lot of work to do’.
Our fans hey.

If only our defending was better, we'd have won!
The same glaringly obvious weaknesses from last season are all still there. Kitching and Thomas have poor discipline and so many mistakes in them. We can't break down a defensive team that parks the bus. Our strikers are hit and miss. Best in the league one day, bang average the next! We're so naive (especially Kitching and Thomas with the stupid and soft free kicks they give away), and that's shown today.
That said, we didn't give up, and we pushed and pushed from minute 1 to minute 99. We were like a dog with a bone. Im sure it's only a matter of time til Woolf gets his opportunity, and hopefully, he'll have a lot less stupid errors in him than Thomas does. We dont concede today like we did, and we walk away 3-0. As soon as they scored, they had a lead to defend and did so with the help of the referee.

Good spot- I see Saints can't though. Not a great start generally for the parachute/Hollywood set.

I know we had a few sitters missed, but honestly that result feels more like Norwich defending for their lives rather than us not being clinical. Certainly not our most "clinical" game for sure though.
We are gonna blow some teams away this season I know that much. Our attacks are relentless.

They were very good at it, but maybe after the first 7 or 8 we should have tried something else?

Rudoni was a little mia compared to some of the others on the pitch but he was still a brilliant player on the ball, I think Milan and Sakamoto had pretty poor games, Milan made up for it with his tackle at the end, our defence and winger positions need strengthening though as they have for 2 seasons.

There were some superb blocks from their centre backs, of shots likely to at least test the keeper.

Positives;
Still unbeaten. Sitting in 6th and still in touch. We played them off the park. We never gave up, even though it felt for all the world that it wasn’t going to be our day.
Negatives;
Not ruthless enough today. Defense desperately needs a calm head.
Out of our control;
The fuckingref
Norwich’s time wasting, which was up there with the worst I’ve ever fuckingseen.

Genuinely weve looked very good this season so far for the most part , to make Norwich look like Boreham wood is not easy

Relieved with the draw, but that could easily have been another 7 goal game.
So many chances which, against qpr fell our way, but today against Norwich, definitely didnt go our way.
We could/should really have won every game this season so far...and i'm not even joking.

Such a weird season. Seen some of the best football I ever have from city but then results are really pretty poor so far. We look fragile defensively and for all our possession and attacking play seem to have trouble carving out clear chances to match.
Thomas needs dropping next game. And Simms need to decide if he even wants to be a footballer.
