    I keep seeing on twitter people being asked to 'rate the players'?
    As there was no stream for this game, do I assume subscribers to Canaries Player are the only ones who can watch all our games live?
    You can't rate players off text or a frickin' radio commentary, surely?

    Let's give youth a chance trust Naismith to score goals and go with what we have without a costly £14m striker <whistle>

    Maybe it aimed at the supporters who went? I couldn't or wouldn't rate players I didn't watch.

    ...Naismith plays really well and scores. Still getting pelters. It's The Norwich way!

    He did great today, and scored a goal, the haters said he'd never do that. Maybe give him a break for a day. The lad did great today, everyone did. I think the player hate could maybe have a day off today. Just enjoy the amazing result.

    Really happy with the performance. Sounds like everyone stepped up their game and it feels great to have some goals to cheer about again.

    Only issue is Ruddy who from the commentary was his usual flappy self. He has not been the same since he got that injury a few seasons back. Can't kick for toffee and seems to have lost all confidence in his handling. I hate to say it but I think his time might be coming to a close sooner rather than later.

    Makes you wonder just what it will take for AN to be bold enough to start with McGovern - or whoever.
    Almost as if he's terrified of further damaging Ruddy's already shot-to-pieces- confidence?

    I think it'll come down to whether he costs us points. Whilst results are going our way I can't see Neil changing too much.

    I'm not so sure. I think AN went with Ruddy, waiting for an excuse to drop him. Knowing McGoverns form in the Euro's should push him.

    Ruddy Had pretty much nothing to do, and failed at the first hurdle. AN has been harsh before and cut people out who have let him down. I think he is in a position he could give McGovern a chance now. If he does well, he can genuinely say to Ruddy, he took his chance, you didn't.

    I did tell you that this league would be more fun than desperately trying to hang on for a point every week.

    Highlights make us look pretty good. Really nice goals, Wes looked instrumental in all our best stuff as usual. I'd even give Ruddy the benefit of the doubt As there was another Blackburn player going for the ball, still pretty soft though.

    As for 5's show, Much better format, though it is still too in your face. And the Adverts! Oh God the adverts! 10 mins for every 20 of actual programming. Only slightly less unbearable overall.

    You know the horrible things you have said DD. I'm not going to spend my time looking back over your offences.

    The magic word you used was "still " meaning a continuation or non movement.
    Naismith was terrible last season and got ripped to bits this season our entire squad were given the chance to prove themselves and he scored today .
    Don't know how well he played because I wasn't at the game but nobody has slated him today since 3pm I don't think .
    Grabban used to get dogs abuse even when he scored <whistle>

    Unfortunately not. I would have said a lot more about the hairy fanny if I was.
