    I thought the back four were excellent, real backs to the wall stuff. Good defending doesn't always mean your opponent's won't have chances, especially against what was a decent quality side.

    Bree's performance imho was as good as I've seen from him, at both ends of the pitch. Yiadom is just unflappable. And our centre halves were just as good. Sheer will to win and dare I say old fashioned defending. Error free we weren't. Never have been. Never will be.

    Second half showed how good a team Norwich are, but for all of their pressure, I think Davies' saves were from longer range shots, we got blocks in on the others.

    Pleased for Bradshaw. That was a quality and classy finish to a move of similar quality. His touch is top drawer.

    A deserved and hard earned three points that. And another game where we've competed really well against supposed superior opponents.

    Agreed mate. Norwich made two subs at half time and went straight on the front foot, and we couldn't get out.

    As good as they were on the ball, we were tenacious and solid and they never really got in on goal.

    Nice to have Payne back in the squad as well.

    Wondered what happened with their goal. We thought Davies had left it thinking it was going wide. Agree he should have saved it from what it looked like from the ponty end.
