    I hope so. Maybe I’m just being overly emotional. Fingers crossed

    the lack of initiative from the bench in substitutes did for us, as a few on here said we were crying out for fresh legs,AN wasn't going to take us to the promised land we need someone better that's why we let him go when he spit his dummy out

    Proud of the team, we deserved the points.
    Time to draw a line and forget about Judas.
    Mowbray knows the league and should keep the ship steady, he’s a dour bastard though

    By far our best player today, I agree he’s a walking yellow card but thought it was harsh booking today.

    He was superb he never stopped running.

    Never been his biggest fan but he could be a proper player at the back, as we have seen before.

    Cirkin was quality again as well, we were so unlucky there.

    Credit to whoever Norwich CB was the beardy one he was ****ing ridiculous that lad, outstanding performance was like ****ing Batman or some ****.

    When you compare it to fouls by their players which went without yellows, it was definitely harsh.

    Good point about AN and the subs, I think he wanted to make a point that the subs weren't good enough so didn't make any changes!

    I’m totally deflated after the last couple of days, I’m going to log of for a few days I think. I’m starting to depress myself

    Aye, that lad up front who scored…the lad that looks like Cila Black…must have committed about 8 fouls before he was finally booked.

    Agree about the subs. I also don’t really want to go up this season just to have to tear apart a side to try to stay up and probably fail. This side will grow. Few important signings over the next few windows and go next season

    Even if you think a player might not be up to it as a coach, you have to be prepared to play them from the bench sometimes. It takes bravery, but it is necessary. When you have lads knackered you risk the result and an injury (it looked like Evans felt his hammy late on). If you bring on lads that arent as good you only risk the result. Sometimes you need to trust in lads to prove you wrong, as a coach you arent always right.

    My thoughts exactly, we need to be a solid championship team first, then build the squad with better regulars and bring the younguns through, before we have any PL ambitions. I'm not that bothered about AN going, I like the idea of a club philosophy with an (interchangeable) head coach position, let's employ coaches who fit in with our system, instead of going back to the drawing board every time. It'll take a while, but as long as we stay at least in the championship , I'm sure we can make it work. We should have won today.

    You know what the more I think about it the more I’m on board with him this season was always about consolidating he SHOULD be able to do that we can then look to be more ambitious next summer if it is a one season deal
