    The lino miles away on the other side gave the handball. that's what Lallana was moaning about, however seconds earlier could've been a pen for Norwich so levelled out really.

    Saints have now had 32 shots in the last two games - and score just ONE goal. Not good enough.

    Didn't see whether it was actually a foul, but if it was then Shaw only has himself to blame. Stupid place to make a challenge like that.

    He certainly owes Boruc one anyway.

    Linesman definately gave it, Clattenburg was reaching for his pocket to send Holt off, but lino had a 'better view'.

    Today's stats (from BBC)

    Shots on target: Norwich 3, Saints 15

    Shots off target: Norwich 2, Saints 7

    Corners: Norwich 1, Saints 7


    Think this tells the story for us, if we could convert some of those chances we'd be flying...

    I got the impression from the radio that the linesman gave the penalty.

    But I really don't care. You get decisions for and against you all season, that is part of football. Officials get things right, and they get things wrong, they're only human.

    It sounded like we played excellent today, 100 times better than against QPR. If we'd turned our dominance into goals, the penalty (even if scored) would be an irrelevance.

    A very good point, but we're still right bang in this. Long way from safety yet.

    Has happened for the past 2 seasons, hope we can change but I doubt it.

    ****e game, probably infertile now. Lambert is the only player capable of scoring, yet we never give him the chances. One-Goal is still one of the worst finishers i've ever seen.

    Seem to want to blast everything into the back of the net, regardless of degree of difficulty. Make good contact first and foremost.

    At last a keeper saving points instead of giving them away!
    Great save
    Finishing is very poor though
    JRod is playing so well and looks very dangerous until it comes to knocking it in the net

    Yeah but as I pointed out earlier, there were several times where a ball flashed across the box for Norwich begging someone to poke it in, those won't count as official shots. Same for when Snodgrass was through on goal etc. Norwich had their chances too... but it was still our game to win.

    This game made me feel ill...I was so sure we'd lose. Wouldn't check till 5.00 because I wanted to make sure it had finished. We obviously dominated, but all things considered a good point. Should have won, but most important that we didn't lose. Points still ticking over and we are now 4 points above drop. Well done, Boruc.

    BBC's Jake Humphrey:

    "Think Saints are a better team than us. Saving grace-as we seem to have spent almost NO money to survive this season we can go mad in summer"



    We really need to finish our chances.

    Still, 1 win in 7 still isn't good enough. We need to start converting chances and quickly, or we'll be in for a very nervy end to the season.

    In those conditions I would expect us to struggle and finishing can be tricky so I am happy to get the point and a decent performance.

    MOTM: Boruc

    More shooting practice required: Lallana and Jay Rod. And Fonte as well, for some reason he seems to have more shots than anyone else lately!

    Have to give Yoshida his dues as well, was much better in the second half. Made one really important interception.

    Came in from work, turned on Final Score, Ivan Gaskill announces that "there's pandemonium at Carrow Road". ****ing Boruc you great big beautiful Pole, I ****ing love you!

    So yes, I'll take a point.
