    A win but slightly I'm disappointed. Saints seemed like they lacked their usual intensity and Norwich showed the world why they were bottom. I feel Saints should have won by more.a lot more

    Could be I'm just being picky though

    Norwich were always going to play a much more defensive game than the teams we've been playing lately.

    Good subbing, it worked and also got players the ovation they deserved.

    Neville trying to sell JWP. Now there's a surprise, player gets good at a club not in the top 5, and shock horror, he must move and satisfy our top 5 status quo fetish. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    Just imagine the first half of last season and the second half (so far) of this season....we'd be in the CL!

    Simon Hooper and his team did well, kept the game flowing and did well with the advantage rule. I guess we will still be last on MoTD.

    Not sure that we should count Spuds in the 7 TBH.

    Completely different game to the Everton one.
    Norwich were well drilled and it seemed that most of our opportunities were hurried, snap shots, with defenders rushing at them, rather than being able to watch the ball onto the boot, as in the Romeu goal.
    Thought they crowded KWP out of the game, which made him less of a threat to his usual standard.
    All in all, not as good as we have been, but 3 points and a clean sheet (GD now -3) has to be welcomed.
    Bring on the spammers.

    Well that was comfortable (again)
    So many positives and a big shout out for RH’s change of formation with the substitution which got us back on top

    Gonna have to start charging Forster the price of a ticket each week, since he's a spectator now.

    I thought KWP was mom tonight, constant threat. Nice to see Broja have a poor game

    It was a dominant performance from what I saw and Gunn was a bit lucky that he was a magnet for the ball otherwise it could've been 5-0.
    You can't ask much more than the match stats we produced tonight...

    I know this has been debated, but even he is using his feet, perhaps a two year deal
