Aye he's not daft. It's not like he came out and said we were a big bunch of cheating b***ds.

He knew there wasn't anything wrong with it, quickly moved on to say they should have dealt with it better.
 
On the subject of Jones, I thought he looked bright when he came on, was involved, got a cross in (not a great cross), Chuba might have played him in and had a pop at goal.

Jones just needs minutes to build his confidence back up, he has to be able to take criticisim from the management team when required, as he may not be doing things correctly in training which has lead to him being out the team, however he is young had a terrific rise to the top from no where and he will learn a lot from this seasons struggles and come back stronger.
 
It was worth the long trip back.
Good performance by our Jonesy and our super-goalie.
A real strong statement after our recent bumpy period.

I think the final scoreline flattered us a little bit. Undoubtedly deserved the win, but coughed up a few chances. I thought Carrick and Wagner got it spot on in their post match interviews. Let’s confirm our play-off place against Hull on Wednesday. Hope the injuries aren’t too serious.

Was on nights last night so was watching on and off a bit.. Were we that good or were Norwich just bad? Weather/pitch not help?

It was a real 'goals change games' example.

We've been playing as well as last night recently but not getting the rub of the green. Last night we did.

Steffen made some vital saves and we were absolutely ruthless in front of goal. Archer makes such a huge difference to how we attack.

Flattered us a little but we were pretty deadly in front of goal. They might/should have had another one of ours perhaps marginal/lucky but 4-2 is still pretty decisive
 
Great win!
The scoreline does flatter us a bit - Norwich weren't really that bad.

A lot of positives to take from that - Mowatt, return of Jones, another Chuba goal, Steffen, Ramsey and Archer going from strength to strength etc

Negatives: Against a more potent strike force, I think we might have struggled. Defensively we look a bit suspect at times. Hopefully we'll ease Fry back in so he'll be 100% for the play offs.

Sometimes as a defender you are torn what to do. Go towards the man or cover Pukki. Don't put any blame on Lenihan for that one 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

Never torn, the ball doesn't get in the net by itself, always close the player with the ball down.. when they are in the area..
