Solid Norwich team

Sat Feb 04, 2017 9:28 pm

It's a cliche used liberally when a side struggles, but today a really solid but not spectacular Norwich looked comfortable against us today.

We competed well and restricted them to a couple of chances, and Warnock got the best out of the players, but the only way we were going to score today was from something other than a cross or set piece.

We just didn't have the players with the necessary skill on the ball to really open them up.

I don't know, but I reckon that defence of Norwich's was their Premiership defence. They seemed quite confident to sit on their one goal lead. In a lot of ways playing sides like Brighton, Reading, give the City a lot more scope.

Not out of the woods yet !

They were solid t the back, your right we couldn't open them up but given the recent history of both clubs and money spent we have made huge strides. They won't be going up and neither will Aston villa. :thumbup:

Both still get good crowds, probably Norwich will have higher attendances next year, so will be close.But, neither will get promoted. Top 2 and Derby for me.

I thought they were really poor tbh. Apart from their goal, what else did they offer? If we had a decent finisher in the team we could have beaten them convincingly.
