    A point. Better than nothing. We looked tired out there today and norwich defended with everything.

    1-1 FT

    Still unbeaten but feels like a loss

    Ah well. Frustrating one, but I guess you can't win them all. It's not a bad point, but thought we were generally worth more. Would have had Charly on for Stu far, far, far earlier.

    Happy with a point at Norwich. Unbeaten run still alive and one of the harder away games in the league. Probably should have won it but we're not going to win every game. And Ipswich were held by 10 man Stoke.

    Yet again we can’t get second goal, to make the result secure. We have to find a way to break down teams sitting back.

    Should have taken the 3 points there. Very soft goal to concede. No last ditch slide from KWP, no dive from Bazunu.

    But 10 points from this run of 4 games is fantastic. And Ipswich drew so it's all good.

    He was probably their best player. Difference maker for sure.

    Not to me. To come away with 10 points from 4 games in 12 days is excellent. Norwich scored a well worked goal. It happens.

    I think that’s not bad. Norwich showed glimpses of quality and they’re hard to beat at home.

    We controlled the game and continue to look good.

    We matched Ipswich result even though they were playing against 10 for 30mins.

    Frustrated. They didn't really create anything either. Shame. Annoyed about Fandab too. One of those days.

    I thought Norwich were pretty poor. It was dogged but they just kept giving it back. We had all the time in the world to put the game to bed but failed to do so. Then our hoodoo player appears and does his thing.

    KWP was superb. Other than that, it was mediocre. Charly did more in his 7 minutes than Stu did in 89.

    Many pre match posters saying they'd take a point. Not me I'm greedy 3 every time.

    Shame to waste it and not gain on Ipswich, but Carrow Road not an easy place to go. At least Ipswich didn’t take advantage of our dropped points either.

    18 games unbeaten, pretty much an excellent Christmas/New Year period overall far beyond what we would have expected.

    I remain somewhat unconvinced by our attempts to push Stephens back into the side, not sure why Alcaraz was so late today, but with Aribo off to the Ivory Coast I assume he will be in a lot more for the next month.

    Now some of these players can rest up a bit and the schedule eases off.

    Can’t really knock it, was a good performance just couldn’t find a way through.

    Bit embarrassing from Norwich tbh, can’t believe how negative they were but fair play to them it got them a point. Decent festive period.
