Great to see Jordan Hugill, Kieran Dowell, Todd Cantwell and Kenny McLean all returning to the side, with Todd and Kenny getting some minutes as well. That will help hugely for the visit to Blackburn on Saturday.
Especially as three of them were supposedly out till next year, How fit they are is a moot point though.
Nice one! What a treat to wake up to! And dare i say it, it doesn't sound like anyone limped off injured for once?
Buendia was struggling at the end a bit i think but DF said it was just cramp so fingers X'd a clean pass on the injury front. Well done on your match day thread streak. I look forward to what you have in store for Blackburn
yup! i think deflection is too weak a word to describe it! Thai, are you based in Bangkok? I've been offered a job there and wondered what its like to live there?
We seem to be find the lower league sides hard to breakdown. Lady Luck smiles again as we move on to Blackburn on this relentless series of games.

On the commentary Holty kept talking about how such a packed defence was in danger of a deflected goal and that's what finally happened. Edit: We could also consider that we were denied a clear penalty when Pukki's header was handled by Yuri Ribeiro, preventing a certain goal.
Is this sour grapes from Hootun or was he deluded last night https://www.eveningnews24.co.uk/sport/norwich-city/norwich-2-forest-1-hughton-reaction-6659884 Thought the defeat to a good Norwich side was unjust and even thought Forest might win it
Do you think Thai? We had three or four shots that deflected like this, with a packed defence sitting deep it encourages long shots and deflections are bound to happen like this
I thought that Holty’s comments on Radio Norfolk were on the right on button last night. These packed defences seem to work up to a point, but we seem to keep patient and earn our luck? That’s four for Buendia this season; he seems more likely to have a go at goal now. There’s been 12 different goal scorers this season in all competitions. Pukki 7, Beundia 4 and Vrancic 3 are the main scorers.
Yeah I was thinking that with packed defences you are more likely to get deflections and penalties. I wonder when the next team will try and have a go at us, because so far we seem to be getting these late wins when the opposition tire and our quality shines through
