Yes. The gloaters don't seem to have noticed either Paddy Davitt's observation (posted by DH) or Normann's role on the pitch. More concerned with trying to point score than understand the game and Normann's contribution. Pathetic.

Norman got forward more often in the second half from what I saw and we didn't do as well.

Well there are other things to talk about today. I'm feeling pissed off and numb (can you do both at the same time?) about Daniel Farkes sacking.

WhoScored: Norwich Weaknesses

Finishing scoring chances -- Weak

Aerial duels -- Weak

Defending against skillful players -- Weak

Defending against attacks down the wings -- Very Weak

Defending against through ball attacks -- Very Weak

<yikes>

But take heart, we apparently have one great strength:

Protecting the lead -- Very Strong

(Er, wait a minute ............)
This was proven to be correct this week <laugh>
 
We are certainly a weird club and do things our own way. Maybe we'll sign Ian Culverhouse as our new manager..... he is used to trying to punch above his weight with no resources at a lower level and is a former player

Yes, like a stopped clock. Nobody seems to have cottoned on that the post was actually a dig at WhoScored's algorithm: if you've never taken the lead, you can't ever have taken the lead and lost it, ergo you must be fantastic at holding onto leads ......... <doh>

Looking at the goals expected we were probably a bit lucky against Brentford. However I think it also shows that we could have had a couple of draws from earlier games, Leicester especially. So things balance out.
 
In the 92-93 season we beat Arsenal, Palace and Chelsea away. Lost to QPR, Tottenham and Wimbledon though.

We also beat Chelsea and Tottenham away the following season
We beat Spurs away in 2012 and recently in the cup .

Brentford is in Essex
 
I was thinking in the car on the way to work this morning this must have been one of the first games that we have won without Buendia. I know there was one other at least
