    Should've scored today, made it himself and done the graft. Poor poor shot

    Wonder what Meps said/did to their player after the 2nd goal. The lad seemed to be raging at the lino directly afterwards

    Yep. He'd have scored it on the back of those other goals I'd say. Still his first season here though. Plenty to come from him.

    Looked like a bad miss but got to give credit to the Norwich defender who was fast enough to track back and put Isidor off at the vital moment.

    Think it was their number 7 who'd spent most of the game cheating. My dad spotted it, think he went over, put his arm around him to wind him up.

    Great to see this but always worries me when they do the slide or players piling on top Jobe gets injured.
    Then at the end of the video you see the size of his legs....jesus....are them tree trunks or what?
    The lad is a f*cking beast :)

    It was Sainz. Who was a joke!! They go on and on about how good he is but he simply couldn’t do much other than cheat. Ref bought so much of it too. Was terrible,

    That second yellow for their lad as a straight red. Absolutely awful challenge! He even got that wrong.

    Love him me. Took no crap and even when we scored he was the only player who just come back into our half and ensured that all players who finished celebrating got back into their positions.

    Proper played.

    Nah he had enough time to get his shot away, got to hit the target from there. Not just him though mayender should've scored but at least he hit the target

    I was buzzing when we signed him but I honestly think he's better than I thought

    It's the way he carries himself, seems so calm but can 100% mix it - really hoping we can get him confirmed as a perm signing in Jan

    Felt when he got ahead of the defender he should have cut across the defender so Isidor is between the defender and the ball rather than letting the defender try to run a long side. Once you cut across the defender he will have to either bring you down which is a red or let you go.

    Yep. That lad is some centre half. He has really good all round vision as well as everything else. Bournemouth are a good side mind. They must be.

    Couldn't agree more. Our players play with honesty and integrity.

    Norwich could learn a thing or two from us when they watch the game back, instead of going into their next game falling over at the slightest touch and cheating their way to a win.

    As others have said, I have never seen a Norwich team play like they did today. It was shocking, as was the referee who was easily the worst ref we have had this season.

    He is waaaay better than I thought.

    And I thought immediately was a top signing.

    That is amazing. I know we all see through our own coloured specs, but, unless Norwich have just this week started all the theatrics and sh*thousery, they must have known what their side plays like. Ridiculous mind, as they have a few decent players.

    The return fixture might be a bit tasty.
