    I see Blackburn as a good test a hard working top half Championship team, that can score goals and cause problems. It seemed a bit like those last two goals came from nowhere, but the statistics don't lie 17 shots, 10 on target and 13 corners, Robinson apparently prevented two goals with superb saves.

    Watford and Blackburn - those are six points that are quite a statement of intent.

    Scoring at the death, cracking good goals, players showing ambition and desire, substitutes coming on and making important contributions.

    Maybe the board did appoint the right manager...

    After a dismal opening weekend I can't wait for the next game.

    Great result, well deserved. Full credit to Adams for finding the right formation and making it work!

    Wasn't at the game, but looks like a couple of our defenders picked up knocks? Are we going to be a bit thin on the ground going into the derby?

    47 shots on goal in the past two games - did we have as many as that at home all last season?

    A very refreshing change, I'd say. Bring on the tractor boys!

    First time for a long while I've enjoyed a game at CR.
    Was impressed with the pace in the team, it's going to cause teams no end of problems, including several pens I'd imagine ?
    We must become more clinical when on top, for a while it looked like two points dropped.
    Even though Grabbans scored three in three I'm not completely sold on him as a centre forward, that's the only peice that doesn't look quite right to me, several times balls were crossed into a box with no one in there in yellow.
    Lafferty looks class IMO and we looked light up top after he went off, but VERY encouraging and will only improve as they play more games together and gell more one hopes.
    Bring on the scum !

    Might be worth checking Adams post match press conference. Just hope the squad isn't tired, I must admit we don't look too threatening squad wise at the moment especially with the injuries and players being sold, we need a game changer on the bench.

    Concerning numbers in the box is that Grabbans positioning? or is it wide players and midfield runners not flooding the box?

    To be fair, we had a hell of a lot in games like against Cardiff, but none went in. It wasn't so much a lack of shots as a lack of shots on target which weren't saveable <ok>


    Love the new signature!

    Apparently there was some kind of fracas in/around the tunnel before the final whistle? Anyone know what happened?

    Just back from the game, Carrow road was rocking and the team looked very good. A few poor crosses but all and all the whole team looked good.

    Fantastic win today, would have taken a point at kick-off. Have to sort our away form now!

    Anyone got vines for the other two goals? BBC dedicate a whole live text to one Champions League qualifying game, ignoring the whole of the football league earlier today, then forget to put on the Football League show. It's ridiculous; worst thing about relegation from the Prem is getting to grips with the fact we no longer exist.

    OTBC!

    The tunnel bust up was due to norwich bench celebrating and medical staff couldn't get past for the Blackburn player down.
