Bedlam in the North Stand with deafening noise and celebration, Town deserved their victory and made The Budgies look second rate. Apart from a few nervy moments from Palmer and O Shea ( we still can't play out from the back ) everyone played well with Philogene being outstanding and The Big Man deservedly man of the match. This team is starting to play the we hoped it would and if we carry on improving we will give anyone a game in this division.
Well, that was a long time coming. Vivdly remember the last time, couldn't follow it live this time but just as happy. Sitting in a good position now, hope momentum keeps up. Also, was starting to lose faith in my random guess for player of the season, but Opting for Kipre starting to feel like good foresight again.
We tried to get in behind a lot today and ran their defence ragged. A few more of those connections coming off and I think we will be a serious prospect.
Just about calmed down. Amazing day - I’m in the lower north stand and it was chaos. On current form, Kipre has to start ahead of Greaves. I would not play Matusiwa, Cajuste and Nunes together as it means Taylor woul come on as sub. At the moment, it is Matusiwa with 1 of the other 2. Jaden has clearly locked down the left side although Clarke has gotten much better (penalty against Derby was a huge confidence boost). The way we play, not sure if eithe szmodics or Akpom are better than Chaplin although szmodics work rate is very good. Right side is a bit of an issue attacking wise, McAteer is a bit meh for me, Walle Egeli has potential but not sure if he’s ready for difficult away games (my guess is that McAteer will play against boro). The biggest issue is Hirst, just looks out of form at present and his 1st touch is appalling. Think Azon might take his place if he’s not careful. Also want to give credit to the ref today who I thought handled the game pretty well,
No Look East tonight!!Someone in the Norwich studio obviously couldn't face reporting on today's result and caused a "technical problem".
Just watched the replay.....get in! Highlights were Jaden, Matusiwa, Kipre and Davis. I don't care how much Greaves cost, Kipre starts every game now. He's our new Burgess, but better. Davis and Jaden caused havoc down the left but I also thought Sindre had his best game so far and looks to have the physicality to handle the league. Matusiwa was absolutely solid again but unlike others who have posted, I thought Cajuste was good today. I was surprised by some of his tackles and tenacity, and the immediate thought to try and move forward was obvious, although it didn't always come off. I thought Szmodics ran well and while others are maybe complaining about him a bit, for me, his contribution definitely helped in wearing the Norwich players out. Same can be said about Hirst. Tireless running and threatening behind had the Norwich players not willing to commit everything forward, which led to dominant possession from us. Jaden was well, Jaden, and did what he's been doing recently. Both him and Clarke are looking like the top Championship players we bought. If they both have another storming season, will they be ready for the Prem should we get promotion? Azon was busy again and Nunez had some nice touches. Terrible free kick though! Happy to get a win over Norwich finally, another 3 points as we hopefully march up the table!
Like SD I watched the replay and agree with all the positivity. Jaden's goal was awesome and with his weaker foot! Reflects his massive increase in confidence too. My motm has to be Kipre, such a dominant figure. The only weakness is the continued passing out from the back into immediate danger and almost costing us 2-3 goals. Otherwise this team is oozing confidence and can only get better.
