Big change from the Boro game and also playing some nice football but yet again cannot capitalize on either our dominance or number of corners won. Stats say it all with 77% possession, 8 corners and 13 shots but only 2 on target and no goals. Not just BTA as aside from hitting the post, Swift's finishing has been poor given the number of chances he has had despite some great play from him in build ups. Still, nice to see some energy and commitment again from them and keep going like this surely we must put the ball in the back of the net at some point.

1-0 BTA, keep him on… 😜

At last! Good play from Diangana but pleased for BTA, maybe the floodgates will open for us now?

We rarely win games comfortably. We need to improve goal difference in matches like this.

I agree with all the comments about the limitations of BTA (posts after 30 mins v Stoke were so similar to some of those above) but if you ask the question "Who out of this 11 is most likely to stick the ball in the net" then surely he is the answer. I reckon his finishing is good it's the stuff outside the box where he is so badly wanting.

For me he plays unless Dike comes back and starts scoring or we sign a striker.

I agree with your points....but just looking at 19 shots and only three on target.
That is a very poor return assuming the shots were genuine shots and not over hit passes....

Excellent. Norwich defended amazingly with 10 but we did the job. some superb football, Furlong magnificent, really links up with Wallace great. Yokuslu was solid as a rock, Swift is back and will score in the next few matches. Asante is a great kid, really pleased for him, another clean sheet, did I hear right? that in 46 matches we have had 22 clean sheets? wow!

A win is a win and other results went our way as well. We have a three point gap between us and Sunderland and we made up three on Leeds.
Ipswich and Leicester to play yet.
Not bad but we need the American guy back and scoring quickly. We are going to lose some players soon as well to Africa.

I like 1-0 scorelines boingy reminds me of a great season under a certain manager but I think we need somthing else up front cause the margin is going to get tighter from here on in.

Could be like a new signing as long as he doesn't limp off too soon. We do have a strikers curse.
