I thought we looked really good in the opening 15mins, but once Norwich got a foothold we left ourselves so overexposed. Settled down & reasserted authority a bit after the goal but they look a threat, albeit mostly through our own making.

Asante is a silly, silly boy & incredibly fortunate.

Chasing the ball is far more tiring. Bit worried we’re doing too much of it.

Take that into half time but there are still the same issues with that midfield.

Eccles needs to come in for BTA

We've been lucky so far that Norwich are as shit as they are. Given them far too many chances.

Can see the ref getting told about that elbow at half time and trying to level it

Sure by the time the second half stats he'll know about that. Penalty to them incoming from a corner.

Can't have any complaints if he does, really. It was absolutely brain dead and completely unnecessary.

Luckily we now have a strong bench to keep that going for 90 minutes

BTA off at half time he looks leggy already, understandable, he should have chased that haji ball down.

Did the referee see it or was it off the ball?

Much better last 15/20 mins.

Esse has really picked it up. His Shot is a Rocket!

Asante anominous. Did not touch the ball in first 35 mins.

EMC is also an issue being way too high all the time and it’s just JDS on his own.

I’d keep BTA on for his pressing. Think Haji prefers playing with him.

Esse does things I don’t think any player our level can do

Started well, ended really well, but the bit in the middle was terrifying. We give up so much space, and it really appears that we're playing without a left-back at times.

It also feels that we really haven't made the most of a lot of extremely promising situations we've had in attack there.

I understand it somehow has been working, but yeah I think this is the reason I just can’t push myself to believe.

What a signing Esse has been. Think we can pick these off second half, not sure i enjoy the stat about THAT game being the last time they came from behind to win though.

It looked straight but even with sky blue tinted glasses it wasn't good.

We have to be better if we are to take 3 points. They look decent and the is too much space in the middle. Think Eccles should come on for Thomas-Asante to sure things up a bit and drop that bit deeper.

Good first 10 and last 10, but poor in between.

The fullbacks are getting absolutely no help whatsoever from the wingers, it's too easy for Norwich down the flanks at times.

Either need an extra midfielder or to drop Torp deeper and closer to Grimes as our midfield is too open on the transition

We've got away with one there, and BTA's been very poor.
