    Norwich have now scored more goals in the 80th minute or later, than Ipswich have in total.

    There is an old boy and his family that sit near us and always leave about 85 mins to beat the traffic.

    It's becoming a running joke now that we applaud them for going.

    Guaranteed goal spree as they leave Carrow.<laugh>

    Some bad news from today:

    -Leitner has ligament damage, probably no surgery but out until the end of January
    -Buendia left CR on crutches
    -Lewis and Zimmerman with injuries needing assessment

    CB cover seems to be ok right now, but Vrancic has a big role to play over the next month, and LB could be up for grabs.

    27 shots 11 on target .

    Blatant pen and red cards not given by a substandard referree.

    11 fouls to 18 plus more that he missed

    Pukki and Max guilty of **** ups plus 1 from Krul but he made some world class saves .

    So much heart and determination from this magnificent group.

    Zimmers Lewis Leitner and Buendia look crocked but others returning

    Worrying injuries, but it shows the vital importance of our big squad. Would guess that either Pinto or Marshall would cover at LB if necessary and Godfrey and Klose will probably continue at CB with Hanley also available. Vrancic will cover for Leitner and McLean is also available now both in CM and out wide, with Marshall another option there. We should be able to manage.

    I can really see McLean getting his chance!!! <ok>
    Make sure you're sitting down when you listen to this - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p06t8kkg

    Not long home after stopping at the Queen of Iceni and then biking hiome.
    Talk about being denied by an inspired keeper. Pukki’s shot had beaten him, but he somehow got a hand to it to keep it out. He then had a double save, Ben Godfrey blasted over when it would have been easier to score.

    To say the officials were atrocious would be the understatement of the year. Pukki put a cross in and two Forest players had a hold of JR’s shirt.

    Just back from the game - what a mental last 15 mins. Not sure (apart from blatant biaise against us from the officials) how we found ourselves 3 down but what an inspired comeback - we missed so many chances before Onel’s brace and the ground went bonkers at the end.

    A new measurement of time was launched today - The Pantilimon. A Pantilimon is a minute that takes 90 seconds. Still the time wasting tosser got his just desserts when Onel’s second went in.

    Not a great performance by us to be fair but boy did we show guts, desire and passion.

    The FA Cup game against Portsmouth tickets are only £10, that's doable for me so got mine. Been a while since I last went.

    I wonder if Passlack can play LB too? Would love to see what all the excitement about him looks like.

    If not before, he should get a game against Portsmouth.
