    After the close battle we had at Norwich in the first leg I was looking forward last night to the kids celebrating their biggest prize! Unfortunately Norwich wound it up a gear and we just couldnt match them! Shame to blow it at the Bridge in front of such a big crowd!

    I got the impression it was more of our own doing. Still, congratulations to the youth. Some very exciting prospects there.

    Unfortunately only saw around 10 minutes of it. The first goal was a nice little run - I can't decide whether he mis-hit it, or if it was intentional. I suppose I should give him the benefit of the doubt......as he is a Chelsea player. Always good when the keeper is rooted to the spot.

    Varier - agree, some decent prospects. I still worry about how many of them will ever really be given a chance, bearing in mind the "buy now and sod bringing the youth through" policy adopted by the Board and Managers.

    Since Roman took over Bertrand is possibly the only graduate to have made it to the first team squad! I think however when rules of FFP begin to hit home we'll get to see some of the better ones get their chances!

    Well done to the lads
    felt if Feruz had his shooting boots on we may have won it
    3000 Norwich fans was an impressive following
