Finally some confidence within the team?

[Largey 0]

Going down to 10 men, not giving up, and coming away with a victory in an away match, a televised match, and a six pointer.

Pattison noted the buzz within the camp after the Forest game. Roeder mentioned it too.

Will we now see the confidence within the team, the belief that they can go and win games, and hopefully showing some consistantly excellent football?

We never know with Norwich City do we?!

we''ve already had a couple of false dawns this season, please city put a run of games together, i''m not expecting long unbeaten runs as this league is so tight and unpredictable but just some flaming consistency to see us climb the table

possibly so, it''s shown that with the odds heavily stacked against us after the sending off that they can stick together away from Carrow Road and bring home 3 gritty points.

Our problem this season has been pretty simple for me, not taking chances and then giving away sloppy goals, it''s a recipe for disaster. When we won promotion in 2004 we had such a strong and reliable back line and then took our chances when they came our way. The players are there i''m sure of it unless the loans return to Celtic, Reading and Chelsea in Jan, looking likely in Lita''s case unfortunatley.

Did you see Hoolahans face as he went off though? Roeder did comfort him to be fair (and he needed to bring on a defender)

tough sh-t hoolihan knew why, it was needed, and tbh id of taken him off, the other players look like better odds of creating/scoring as it proved with bell setting up patty

i''m assuming he was pretty frustrated which isn''t surprising but i''m sure he realised soon after it was the only option available to Roeder

Id be very suprised if Hooly wasnt put back in the lineup tomorrow night, thats unless Sibbers is fit, then i think we will go 4-4-2 with the midfield of Bell, Patty, Clingan and Crofty.
