overthebordercanary 140 Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) great result but god grief the referee was abysmal 13 fouls by Forest to only 6 from us and we get the only yellow card. How on earth that James Garner stayed on the pitch i don't know. Edited March 17, 2021 by overthebordercanary spelling mistake 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ian 1,129 Posted March 17, 2021 Has there ever been a more assured 2-0 victory in Norwich history? We look incredibly confident, and able to turn it on at will. I'm very cautious in general but it's difficult not to believe we are almost there now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ian 1,129 Posted March 17, 2021 Also, the best chance Forest had tonight came from an absolutely blatant foul on Rupp. I have no idea how Forest avoided any yellow cards, but even with some weak refereeing we were pretty untouchable tonight. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,632 Posted March 17, 2021 Near perfect performance - start quickly, blitz them and then keep them at arms length whilst still creating enough to have won by 4 or 5. Their only real chance came from the most blatant of free kicks that the ref missed. My only negative comment is that we seem to get booked for a ‘first foul’ yet sides we are playing seem to be able to commit them at will with no card....most weird. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vos 155 Posted March 17, 2021 20 minutes ago, kick it off said: Rupp motm for me. Cantwell by a mile. Great ability to control a ball and find space. Plenty of energy over the whole 90 mins. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted March 17, 2021 We should have worn orange bibs. Todd was my MOTM just ahead of Rupp. That lad has got so much running in him we should nickname him Forest (sorry) Gump. And is there anything that would make Ollie panic? Pitch helped us a lot tonight as well. Back to passing and knowing it will stay on line. Some wag says we should add a W in our name every time we win so its NorWWWWWWWWWich City!🕺🕺🕺🕺 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AJ 1,218 Posted March 17, 2021 Cracking performance all round. Did the hard work in the first 20 then kept the ball well for the rest of the half and we should have been 3 up for Dowell missing a 1 on 1. Second half was a lot harder, but we never looked troubled. What a revolution Gibson is at the back to instill calm and take the pressure of the midfield, with a much improved Hanley beside him this season. Dimi has slotted in nicely and Skipp continues to deliver 110% every game. What a mighty monster of a team we have, and all that tonight without Buendia! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pukki Blinders 96 Posted March 17, 2021 Forest were pretty crap overall, I certainly expected a lot more of a difficult game, but we were absolutely phenomenal at times tonight. So fluid and purposeful on the ball and had complete control from the 1st minute. Two superb goals as well. The way we defended and managed the game in the second half was excellent as always. Man of the match for me was probably Rupp. I haven't actually been convinced by him in the number 10 and the last 2 games I've been advocating Mario to come back in, but he was brilliant today. 2 assists obviously and so many superb passes and through balls that were cutting Forest to pieces. Special mention to Dowell obviously for the fantastic goal and much improved performance. I also thought Giannoulis didn't put a single foot wrong. From what we've seen so far £6m looks like a bargain to me. Need 6 wins from our final 9 games to reach 100 points, 8 out of 9 to match the points total. Can't remember the last time I felt this relaxed and calm coming towards the end of a season. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The difference between Rupp and Vrancic in the #10 slot is fairly big - Vrancic is more likely to set one up with flicks or a really incisive ball, but he lacks a yard of pace. Rupp's definitely got a fair bit of zip on him, and he's faster tracking back as well. That said, for a player who's mainly more about telling forward balls than rapier ones, he was finding them tonight. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sgncfc 1,221 Posted March 17, 2021 No one in this league could have lived with us tonight. People being very harsh on Forest - they should have scored the free header, and if they had it might have been different, although I think we'd have just raised it another notch. Rupp and Cantwell were outstanding but no one was below an 8.5. The best performance of the season so far. And Emi on the bench for Saturday......well, no one is getting dropped after that are they?
