i do not mind losing to better teams 

but you have to Rattle them make them earn it ,

put them under pressure to win it try pumping balls into box something 

That is exactly what we've been doing the last 15 minutes or so?

World class defending from Gibson just standing still and watching it get passed in

Your answer is Gibson.

[Canary Wundaboy 1,360]

Lost the spark ever since Sarge went off injured. Hwang needs too long to get up to speed even if he is good enough (jury’s out) and Idah just lacks Sarge’s presence and work rate. Really hope Barnes injury isn’t severe.

Agreed, ball played forward player in offside position puts it in - clear offside.

Not in the same way we have in past everyone together , everyone getting the foot in push them back 

to late now but that's how Norwich can play with the fans behind them

Oh well, game over.

Was always a possibility when we were throwing everything at the equaliser. Stacey looked knackered.

Still think we've played pretty well.

Absolutely, despite all the usual bleating and scapegoating on this thread I think we've had a bloody good go this second half and played well against a very, very good side.

Fingers crossed Barnes and Rowe are good for Saturday as we need to go again.

I think it was.  V close. 

We’ve been a lot better second half, showed we can very much love with them and would have been 1-1 with a bit of luck 

[Satriales 710]

Could have been different had Duffy's header gone in or Kenny's shot gone in and not hit the bar. We've had some chances, it's not all doom and gloom. The Rotherham loss was worse imo.

I know - gave up didn't he. 

Oh well I thought we might sneak a draw but a decent second half in general. 

[Creedence Clearwater Couto 1,311]

Better hope Barnes isn’t injured.. and Sainz is more Buendia and less Tzolis, or we’ll find ourselves drifting towards mid table rather quickly.

It wasn't offside because he was level with the ball when it was played. Nothing to do with Gibson.

Wouldn’t be surprised if they amass the biggest championship points total ever.

Either that or a wind up merchant, you decide.

[Keith Scott 255]

Toothless I'm afraid. Leicester really aren't as great as people on here are insisting. Leeds and Ipswich will finish above them. And we definitely won't be finishing top 6. Another season of mid table mediocrity awaits. Bring on the yanks!

All the best.

Not if he is behind or level with the player passing it, which was clearly the linesman’s view. I actually thought he was just off 

[keelansgrandad 6,679]

Now we have to start like this second half straight from the kick off against Argyle. Leicester too good tonight. And we haven't got enough in midfield. Just that bit of flair and creativity.

Quite happy to have a charity bet that Leicester finish top

It was very tight. The kind of goal that would have led to 5 minutes of line drawing that we all complain about in the top flight.

Aw, perhaps you should go to the dentist?  You a really are a pathetic individual.

We’ve played quite well, all in all. But without creating much or making their keeper work. And against better teams in this league that will continue to cost us.

You'd hope Sainz and Nunez can add a bit more spark when fit.

For critising a player for not tackling?

Who was he supposed to tackle?

[Conrad 179]

Plenty of effort, but a lack of quality. Unfortunately. 

[Jsim1986 150]

Not all doom and gloom but not signing a quality striker when we realised the extent of Sargent's injury is looking a more and more baffling decision.

[Channon’s Windmill 344]

Tonight was a game where we needed every player at 100%, unfortunately nobody was anywhere near. For me Dimi our MoM, had a solid defensive game with 4 mins to go.

I think he was ahead, should be offside.  I don’t like the line drawing but it would get the correct result.

Have you watched the game ? Gibson has made in the second half some outstanding interceptions.

Maybe you can explain why that was Gibsons fault ? Suspect maybe that would give away your complete lack of football knowledge.
