Torp played well but keeping him on would have risked injury, given his lack of match fitness. Although Allen wasn't great, you can guarantee his work rate, which we needed, especially with 10 men.
If I remember rightly, our results were not good last season when Allen was captain. He doesn't come across as a natural leader. Think Kitching may have been a better choice or Bidwell.

What a player O'Hare continues to prove he is.

He's been better than before the injury. Will be devastating when he goes.

1-0 to the sexy boys is chant of the season regardless of the final score. Half hope it catches on for the rest of the season.

Agree with this. Some of our football at the start of the second half was sublime. Norwich are a good side on the up. No disgrace today at all. Sitting next to Norwich fans on the train home who were impressed with Palmer and that we kept going at them right to the end. PUSB

Yeah but also seemed a bit annoyed at the ref. It was interesting he said they’d caught him at a bad time as if something has just happened.

We need to push the boat out to get him re-signed and make him an offer he can’t refuse because it’s tough to find a replacement for him and we’re already light in numbers.

We lost to a very good team ant home and the game could’ve easily went our way. There’s no reason to panic.

Just need to replace Kelly and O’Hare, and find a striker that can trap a bag of sand.

Im agreeing with you but part of me thinks this is the weakest Norwich team I’ve seen in a few years. They were vulnerable today and with a better approach first half, we could have taken these today.

In saying that, we should have been 0-2 up and would have gone on so it’s fine margins as always.

Hopefully can ship Godden, Allen and Tavares out as well as O’Hare, Moore and Kelly. Should be a good amount of wages freed up (and Tavares’)

I’d be pleasantly surprised if we are involved in the play offs this season, a) because I think we peaked too early, and

b) because (and I’ve been a bit confused with people saying we’ve got a stronger squad this season) at the minute we’ve got a fair few of our players looking out on their feet (eg Saka, Bidwell, MVE) a few not up to full fitness (eg Wright, Torp), and a few off the pace a bit (eg Simms, Godden, JDS when he plays, Eccles last game and a bit), yet we don’t appear to have much depth / quality to replace them.

We seem to be at least one goal scoring centre-forward light, lacking replacements down the right, and we lose one player in midfield and it seems far easier to waltz through it.

I’m not knocking what we’re doing, it’s a season of consolidation and building again, and there’s always a chance given where we are, which would be a bonus - one loss doesn’t make or break a season, but ultimately I think our lack of depth will be our downfall in terms of the playoffs this season - shame we didn’t strengthen in January to take advantage of our position but I’m sure there are good reasons for it..

Let’s be realistic though, the team have done well to get to where they are so far and we’re more than competitive this year so let’s just sit back and enjoy the ride

I fail to see what DaSilva brings to the side, never seems to get forward enough to contribute and is weak and too small defensively.
Simms need a good kick up the fucking arse to get him mad, looks so disinterested most of the time.
I think we're going to fall just short this time, which is a pity as there's no guarantee we'll get there next year

Might have been that it’s the shittest transfer window and they feel deflated, I know I do.

The support of fans this season has been phenomenal, home and away the best in the league. For the club not to back Robins more in this window for me is a big mistake. The season is in danger of petering out and I think we all know it.

You don't know that the club haven't backed Robins. Pure speculation

The noise this season is well down on last year.

Today was dreadful. The away end is what we take the piss out of at home matches.

In previous years, if we had gone down to 10 men the fans would have been louder than ever getting behind the players. Not a peep after the red.

Our game management at 1-0 up could have been better. Slow the tempo down, bring subs in, shithouse etc. Obviously had Wright scored to make it 2-0 it would have been much easier. Wright, Simms and Godden put together still cannot match Gyokeres' scoring output. That says something.

Yes that says that previously we had an exceptional player as has had been proven with his move.
