    Krul saved the day today. A few times. Good ‘ol boy!

    Great point and just as importantly takes away 2points from one of our biggest rivals for the autos.

    Targeted by challenges that should have been reds.

    Posts this. This young lad is only focused on progression.

    I wish TC (or more likely his agent) had the same attitude. :steam:

    We must beat Brum on Friday if we want to be in the automatic mix. Pressure game. Need to not lose at home to Sheffield United as well. Snatch your hand off for 4 points from the next 2 games.

    I think that's a big ask though.

    Paddy's marks flatter our defence. Krul was an 8 for his saves, but not his distribution, which put us under even more pressure. Zimmerman the only defender rating a 7 for me. Vrancic should be a 7 as well, as should McLean and Rhodes for the assist and goal. Without them we'd have lost. This match raised big questions about how we might fare in the PL.

    We would actually have some money to invest in the squad if we went up.

    Very true, and our young players will get better and better over time. Klose, Leitner, Tettey, Buendia, Pukki and Rhodes could fit in the PL, but others would have to continue to improve.

    Thanks and 2 excellent posts.

    Yes, our stats have nosedived over the last 6 or so games and Hull are creeping up the table, but we have been missing some of our most influential players through injury and I think Sheffield United haven’t had injury problems that both Leeds and we have had. For Leeds to still be top is quite an achievement (despite their ‘spying’) and it will be interesting to see if they can stay there over the next 2 months or so.

    All in all, a MASSIVE point yesterday and thoroughly deserved from the match reports I’ve read.

    Enjoy -

    Need to be beating Sheff Utd at home. Set a marker and show we're the real deal. Our record against those in the top 10 needs to improve, it's a great opportunity to do just that. barring new injuries we aren't that afflicted any longer, so need to kick on.
    Of course a draw is OK but nothing more, let's take back our top two position and make CR a fortress for the run in.

    Bah!

    We'd ALL love to take 6 points from our 2 home games coming up and REALLY set a marker for the run in!!! <yikes>
    Edit : - 'To underline the scale of how high the bar was set prior to the recent festive swing, Norwich only now have fallen out of the automatic promotion places on goal difference, despite one league win since December 8.
    That is frankly a remarkable testament to the growth spurts cultivated by Farke. In the cohesiveness nature of their passing, in their defensive resolve and in their goals output, the football Norwich have produced this season is light years away from the slim rations served up 12 months ago

    That's a clear red card tackle. You can bet that had one of our players done that he'd be off for sure.

    Do you have a clip of Aarons getting bulldozed in the back? I would like to see that again. Looked like a terrible no-call from the ref.

    Vrancic picked up his 4th yellow card since 8 December. I don't want to lose him for either Sheff U. or Leeds.
