Glad of the points, but...

You knew there was a 'but' coming...

Norwich really should have taken the game at the end, or at the very least had a point off us.

We're playing some great attacking football lately and it was good to get the two goals we scored today.

However, what really worries me (and most other fans as well I think) is our tendency to drop right off in the last 15 mins against seemingly every team we play. We seem to let opposing players run at us and give them lots of space, which ends up with the likes of Norwich having about 32 corners and 28 shots in the last ten mins. I thought for quite a while that a draw was inevitable. Marshall was immense, but we don't want to be relying on the keeper.

That concerns me just as much, if not more than our lack of goals lately...

Exactly my thoughts, when we scored the 2 goals I was just praying that we would score 1 or 2 more because of how we seem to dramatically drop off in the last 10/15 minutes, I don't know whether its because we think the game is done or whether our mid-field are so unfit they just cant be f*cked to attack anymore... What ever it is Ole needs to sort it
