Kane shoots the winner into Row H 5213. Ft1-1. What a **** Ref. 2 dives 2 pens. Yellows to us for complaining, not them. Good fight from us for a point there.
 
A few thoughts:

It should have been 1-0 to us. Was never a penalty for them. He was falling before any contact.

Bright poor but for the last few minutes. Not sure he is bothered anymore. MW substitutes Chair, who was much more involved. Obviously it worked out for the penalty, but MW wasn't to know that at the time. But, as things stood at the time, Bright was asking to be taken off (not literally).

Kane... I'm annoyed at our other players who pass it to him expecting anything other than Kane just kicking it into a defender's shins.

Norwich were the team with the least sportsmanship and most gamesmanship I've seen this season. I am sure the ref gave that penalty because the Norwich management were putting him under a lot of pressure to give a decision their way. Ref bought it.

I've tried to defend Dykes but I was begging for Bonne to replace him not long after the restart.

Apart from that, we did well to get a draw out of a team who not only have a lot of EPL quality, but a team who are the best with regards to the dark arts.
 
A battling performance. Well played lads!

Like others, I think their penalty was a dive and our penalty was a bit soft. But they get the decisions because they play the ref, moaning all the time. We've got to do that as well.

I just wish we didn't give the ball away so often, so cheaply. But that's carping: let's enjoy a very good performance and a well-deserved point at a difficult venue.

Bit harsh on BOS tonight I feel. Think he was told to stay up first half as Dykes and Chair were the ones making numbers up defensively. The service to him was atrocious until we conceded.

Young Todd, there really are no words.

Neither were penalties imo.

Although BOS missed that late sitter, it was like the Alamo for most of the 2nd half and a point is a fantastic result there.
 
That is what we want to see from our team. Kicking them and getting carded in the last ten minutes is also something new - I like it, get right up 'em!!!!
I would be jumping about still if BOS had scored at the end.
Luton? Let's get it on!

I think that's harsh on Bright. I thought he worked consistently hard without getting much of the ball or much support. He was closing down their players and was frustrated at the end that we hadn't got more from the game.

You're right about Kane though, he was the biggest culprit on our side for giving the ball away cheaply.

Norwich? Bunch of whingers. But that's how they got their ridiculous penalty.
