Beaten by a rubbish Norwich?
Certainly not!
They are one of the top contenders for promotion and showed what they can do in the second half.
To be fair to Ole, going in at half time, what should he have said? Apart from fine tuning, the first half was brilliant and kept Norwich quiet.
So what happened 2nd half then? In my opinion, Norwich had the hair dryer on them all interval and their energy levels rose. They say that 2-0 is the worst score to defend because you become jittery after conceding one and that causes you to concede a second. After that, frustration and self-doubt creep in.
Do I think Ole should go? No (at least not yet).
Let's give credit to Norwich for bringing the game to us and showing great character and resolve. That is what we need to bottle.
Scoring goals isn't the problem. Conceding them is and that has been ongoing for a while now.

From listening to everyone around me, you'd swear none of them ever expected Norwich might try to come at us in the second half. Shocking too, as they're all about 60+ years old so I'm sure have seen a game of football or two!
Norwich were awful in the first half, and that was partly down to us being absolutely superb. But they were a different team second half, and immediately picked out Ralls and John as weak links. I honestly think they outright knew John would come on for Fabio at HT (as did any of us who noticed Fabio was injured), and planned accordingly.
That said, losing in the manner we did was unacceptable.
