    Norwich: So Far So Good

    Well we've got two goals and the inclusion of two wingers has kept the Norwich fullbacks back and the expected avalanche of attacks has not occurred.

    We do look a bit vulnerable on our left side where Gray seems to be finding defending a bit of Chinese puzzle, coming infield too often and we have only really looked in danger when the Norwich RB has come forward; as Grounds and Robinson play too far apart.

    When Norwich have come up the guts Caddis Davis & Reilly (YAY!) have protected the backs well.

    Let's hope Clark doesn't have one of his crises of confidence and rip the guts out of it.

    A pretty low standard league though if Norwich are one of eh best teams in it...

    Oh well there we go Cameron Jerome gets one back early in the second half which comes from us losing possession too easily half way up the field and also from the line of backs falling too deep - Robinson really has to go

    And now Cameron does it again with a near post header (!!!) as he is spectacularly unmarked (By Robinson) with our backs again lying too deep - presumably down to the defensive dis-organiser Robinson.

    All the good work of the first half now is spectacularly undone due to two staggering pieces of ineptitude.

    Thankfully Robinson has gone off; presumably suffering a bad case of embarrassment

    Well there we go then much better really but for five ghastly minutes and hopefully we have seen the last of Robinson. It was noticeable with Edgar calling the shots the backs were higher up the field and this blunted the threat of Norwich as we didn't give them that huge meadow of space between the lines to work in.

    We got a draw at a place where most of the teams around us won't but the reality is we threw a win away just as we did against Brentford, Ipswich Leeds & Sheffield. And that has to be concerning.

    Much as I agree with the general thrust of your observations, I think it's fair enough to state that we've also been denied a possible 6 additional points following some perplexing non-awarding of penalties...KRO mate.

    add them to the at least 6 points squandered
    by poor subs and 2nd half tactics we would
    be having dizzy spells at our league position
