    ...but I'd of taken a draw at the start of the game. The team was unrecognisable from the last few games, everyone played their part. Mark Bunn had a great game IMO, but for me Michael Turner was the best man on the field. Absolute rock today!

    Just a shame Gareth Bale had to dampen the evening with a world class goal.

    I am disappointed, having taken the lead to see them sit back for the 2nd half and just wanting to do little more than hold on to what they had. Suicidal in the PL against these top 6 sides. A draw is okay and to be honest I will be happy with a draw at the weekend as well but all 3 points tonight would have been very sweet and a real confidence boost for the trip to Loftus Road

    A point against fourth placed Spurs is fine.Maintains a seven point gap over the relegation spots and eleven over QPR,who naturally think that they are going to catch us, Looking forward to Saturday now.A result at Loftus Road could put the mockers on the Big Time Charlies.

    Great performance, I don't think we deserved to win overall but as a fan to not go on and win having completely bossed the first half is slightly disappointing. But happy that that looked like the real Norwich, not the norwich of the last 6 games.

    Great performance I thought. We pressed, harried and played some decent football and were only undone by a wonder goal.
    Almost forgotten about last Saturday, really looking forward to this.

    agreed. add some striking options to us and we should have it in us to win a few more this year. Holt looks a bit spent though at the moment. seems slower than usual, and less dominant turning defenders.

    Gutted not to get all 3pts, but a pt is better than nothing. Our improved performance was encouraging, hopefully this will be the start of another unbeaten run.

    Only seen the goals and if you defend that badly we are.never going to win! We just backed off and off and invited a shot. It was terrible! Good result really but an awful way to lose 2pts

    Didn't think you deserved all 3 but you played well and took full advantage of our poor start and made it very difficult for us to get going at all. Bunn's save off Sigurdsson's shot at the end was superb and I thought he was very clever not to commit early to dive to his near post like Defoe was expecting in the first. Your whole team worked really well though, plenty of effort and you took the game to us which is something not many sides do - United were much more defensive against us last week.

    Anyway don't begrudge you guys or Chris Hughton a point, you're one of the few sides in the league that I like and it would've been harsh on you. That said the extra 2 points would've been really useful if we'd nicked it :D

    Tettey should have taken Bale out on his run, close to the halfway line....cost us 2 points in my opinion! Would have been a yellow but you just cannot let Bale run at your defence like he did...

    On another note, I have been four times to cup matches and seen the following:

    0-4 MK Dons (embarrassing)
    1-4 Villa (terrible)
    2-1 Spurs (win, but we all know that Dempsey should have scored that penalty)
    0-1 Luton (humiliating)

    Hopefully some day I may see a solid win? :tongue:

    agree totally we deserved 3 points. Main thing is the performance and it was good.

    Carry this to Saturday and we'll shag QPR

    I think to be honest that a draw was the fairest reslt but life isn't fair and yes we could have held on. Tettey did make a mistake but overall played better than recently.

    If I remember correctly, at the start of Dec we were 10 points clear of the relegation places and now after a disastrous run, we're still 7 points clear. We do need to get a few wins next month and hope we can get one on Sat - at least the games in Feb are more winnable than the ones in Dec were!!!!

    Morning guys,

    Think you lot were definitely the better side until we introduced Holtby in the 70th minute. Even then we didn't look like scoring until Bale's brilliance shone. It was sods law that in the end that we even had a chance to win it but Bunn pulled off a worldy of a save to deny Sigurdsson.

    Overall I'm happy with a point, naturally before the game I wanted all 3 but the way you guys played, especially Holt - who I thought was MOTM, absolutely bullied the **** out of Daws and Verts - a point is more than welcome.

    With a Spurs legend in charge, wish you all the best for the season lads <ok>
