    What is Gibson complaining to the ref about? Did one of their players fall over thin air in the build up to our goal?

    Needs to keep Gelhardt on the pitch mind. Might not be scoring for fun but he’s pressing well and can hold the ball up.

    Excellent half would like to see us play abit quicker on the break and I think we can nick a second, have to expect an onslaught second half though just hope we don’t drop deep

    Picks a good pass too. Like a good “number 10! “ Which is what he is in reality!!

    Excellent first half that. Not sure I have seen us at such closing down intensity. Be a tough as to keep it over 90 mins. But we do have the all important goal.

    Brilliant first half only shame is we are not 2 up, yet to see Roberts but he usually improves after slow starts , I want to see Bennette on if he does not sharpen up, the game is set for counter attacking imo. and Dan Neil has been superb.

    The announcer echoed this sentiment after Michut intervened in our penalty area, "not much of him, but he stood strong there."

    Brilliant from Neil so far. Really aggressive and his passing is as always spot on. Him and Michut are the perfect partnership if we can keep them.

    Wow. That miss is even worse on replay. Just slot it either side!

    as I said before, I don't like Norwich. And the more Sky pipe them off, TalkSPORT aswell, the more I don't.

    Based on Norwich's play, in the first half, I can't see them getting back into the game without this referee handing them a daft free kick or penalty. Patterson has barely had a decent shot to save.
