shhhhhhh!!!

Time for you to be quiet Ricardo, we won!

Our home defending is abysmal. Should we just ignore it?

We are hanging onto the coat tails of the top six. We have to win every game.

We did win though, didn''t we?

In your face

Time to be quiet now. Shhhhhh

[Daz Sparks 1,558]

Yes Morty, and I believe we will get 3 pts too.

Yes, they confirmed it, we get 3 points.

Can''t but agree with Ricardo.

Fact is we do possess the strongest squad in this Division.

[lowlyfendweller 0]

That''s kinda the point. Let Alex Neil bang heads together, as I am sure he will, and enjoy a good won!!

[Daz Sparks 1,558]

WooHoo!

For a minute here I thought we might get docked a point for only scoring 1 more than Charlton.

We are inconsistent, but to be fair you have to consider that Charlton will have had a real rocket at half time; their home form is not bad and 0-2 h/t is always a dangerous score (remember the Brum game), almost more than 1-2. We shouldn''t have let them back in, but that we saw the game out in the end shows we are up for it.

In patches yes, I wouldn''t say we''re inconsistent. We make too many individual mistakes and we''re not the best under pressure because then we try to force the ball into the net which doesn''t suit us and some of our weaker characters crumble a bit.

Under Alex Neil though we''ve been very consistent so far, one loss in a game where we played without a midfield against a side with the best midfield in the division but apart from that, we''ve got the results which is all that matters. Individual mistakes are nothing to do with the manager though, if that could''ve been coached out of the players it would have been by now. This isn''t going to change with these players I''m afraid, supporting us is going to be especially stressful for a while, I''m just happy we appear to be making the right decisions when we are under pressure and we''re fighting when we do suffer setbacks

Hahaha!!!

It makes victory all the sweeter knowing the certain type of fan I rally against cant enjoy it

Going to be quiet this week lads!!

Shhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

A good first half, yep a fragile period in the second half which is bound to be a worry BUT, let''s not overlook the guts to come back and win this.

[nutty nigel 7,902]

Well I''m enjoying the games and the wins. Before we know it the season will be over and we''ll be watching cricket. Then when we look back this will be seen as a good season with lots of goals. Some of you will look back and wonder why you didn''t enjoy it.

Game management (or lack of it) has been a consistent problem throughout this season.

Norwich clearly have the ability to break down any side in this division and seem to have little problem creating chances and scoring goals but I can''t understand why Norwich continue to be so determined to attack even when they have a well established lead. I can''t even begin to recount the amount of times Norwich have (or looked like they might) throw away leads because they have such a gung ho attitude.

The best sides are the ones who attack furiously to establish leads and play cautiously once that lead is established. 

It''s unfair to blame Alex Neil for this, it''s been a problem long before he arrived but it is now his job to sort it out and make Norwich a side that are as comfortable seeing out a lead as gaining one.

3 points tonight was massive and every game from now on is a big one, starting with Wolves on Saturday.The top 6 show no real signs of folding and despite our recent good form we have not made any real progress in terms of the points gap or our position.

Great win on paper but it needed a great comeback because we almost threw it away......again! And as we have seen this season, if you consistently give yourselves too much to do you will regularly fail.

Before they pat themselves on the back this group of players need to string a run of wins together, something they have been unable to do.

Over the last 6 matches we are 9th in the form table, there is no room for complacency.

Beat Wolves for three on the spin and we might make progress instead of just hanging on.

[nutty nigel 7,902]

Well that happened plenty under Lambert and we enjoyed that. I guess we have to win comfortably for it to be enjoyable now!

It''s getting that way it seems.

It won''t be too long before an exciting nail biting win results in a generous round of Boooing!!

It''s always enjoyable to watch Norwich win, regardless of whether it''s a clinical, professional win or a mad, chaotic scramble to victory.

But a win doesn''t mean you can''t be reflective as to what went well and what didn''t. Suggesting that Norwich need to do better at managing leads is entirely rational based on the evidence of this season.

Apart from the money, Nutty, the Championship is a much more entertaining league than the Premiership and the games are played at more fan friendly times as opposed to being for the benefit of the overseas audience.

I sense that''s how you feel. I think a lot of supporters do.
