Norwich shots 21, (4 on target). That tells a story. Some decent passing and accuracy (85%) stats though.
Was quietly hoping to hear DF would come away from this game with some selection headaches following blistering performances by the 2nd string. Oh well.

From the 'comments' section on the BBC match report page <doh>

Norwich were disgraceful and disrespectful to their fans tonight.
Hopefully the board will see sense and sack the useless manager.

Norwich obviously did not want a run in this cup competition - probably does not pay very well - so put out their reserves and reaped what they had sown.
Clubs that put out weakened teams for league games get fined - should be the same for cup games otherwise they are defrauding their supporters.

And, from a different perspective:

We don't get much to cheer about at Crawley and this was a terrific performance from our team.
We more than doubled our average attendance and all the Crawley fans left feeling incredibly positive.
Our squad looks better than it has for a long time and if some of the additional supporters keep returning, attendances will increase and we just might have a very decent season. Let's hope so!!!

Well I'm up now from a restless nights sleep as I was in a car accident yesterday where the other driver jumped a red light at some speed and totalled my car. A perfect analogy for our performanve? Car crash?
Poor Klose, that is ****e luck for him and us. Ho hum, I expect Farke will have some choice training sessions with the guys hoping to be in the first 11. It gives us a good reality check I think about the depth of our squad. Going back to bed now to see if I can get a couple of hours before dawn. OTBC

Hope you came out of you're wreck better than NCFC did. Did you get hurt, China?
 
Not too disappointed, playing lower league teams you run the risk of serious injuries a la Timm Klose.

They aren't deliberately dirty, just less skilful leading to mistimed tackles!
 
Hanley made loads of mistakes, can't wait till some of our better CB's get fit so we can start winning games.

Having listened to Radio Norfolk, I'd say the best performance on the night was Matt Jarvis in his summariser role alongside the commentator. It was good to hear from an ex-player of recent vintage, unburdened by how football was played in years long gone by. Based on Matt's observations it sounds as if Heise put in a particularly good performance, Amadou did everything his two roles required of him and showed glimpses of the reasons why we are all excited to have him with us, and Byram and the rest of the defence put in decent shifts. The big disappointments were McLean, Vrancic, Roberts and Srbeny, none of whom advanced any claim to displace the current shirt-holders on Saturday.

Very much my impression as well Robbie and also liked Jarvis's commentary.
