There was a surprising amount of dirty bastard business going on tonight, which I didn't expect from Cov. They got their just deserts for that in the end though.
Although the win and the fact it was against the leaders were great, the most important bit for me was the manner of the win. Coming back from behind to win against a very physical side will really further galvanise the team and boost their self-belief!
Our man at the match strikes again! Well done Essex and your daughter as well!
From the BBC:
"Ali Ahmed's dream start to life at Norwich City continued as his goal sank Championship leaders Coventry City at Carrow Road. The Canada international winger also set up Anis Ben Slimane's equaliser early in the second half, meaning he has chalked up two goals and two assists in his three games since joining the Canaries from Vancouver Whitecaps three weeks ago."

We have got the same amount of points in the last 3 games as we got in the first 16 games!
Fans voted him Player of the Season 2000-2001, two months later he went to Ipswich.
I have his autograph somewhere at my parent's house and a picture with him when I did football in the community as a kid.Fans voted him Player of the Season 2000-2001, two months later he went to Ipswich.
Robert Green got the opportunity after his defection. If memory serves me we lost 4-0 to Millwall in Green's first game
Yeah I found the physicality from Coventry very strange. It’s not like they needed to as cover for quality - or that we are particularly known for it so they felt the need to match up. Very odd - it would have cost them the game had the ref or linesman actually being paying attention and given the red card (and had we not won anyway…)
Maybe the unexpected "physicality" stemmed from Cov's failure to win at Carrow Road since 2009?
Keith Hackett expects retrospective red card for that elbow.
Bad losers!
As Clement mentioned in his press conference there was a second potential red card incident on Fisher in the second half. Fisher pushes the right winger who turns around and strikes him in the face
A moment of praise fo Wright as well who came in for Mattsson at half time after he rolled his ankle first half. I like Wright but I was concerned that we would miss Mattssons physicality in the midfield, thankfully we didn’t and if anything Wright added a calmness in the ball that the game needed

Yeah the commentators didn’t think so much of that incident but it didn’t look great either - I can understand that better in a tense game but the first (definite) red card was at 0-0!
For such a small player, it was great to see Fisher hold his own against the physicality. He even got his revenge on Sakamoto and put a proper shift in.

Before the Wrexham game, I had a fiver at 66/1. Before last nights game, it had come in to 28/1. Will check in work later to see what it is now
I could only find odds for
Winning the league outright or go up through the play offs .
Not just a top 6 finish
