What’s more pleasing is we're maintaining this week in week out now and it’s a great foundation to work on

If we took 1 in 5 chances and we'd be top 6
Watched the game stream with Radio Norwich commentators who were shit and you could tell they catered to their webbed feet brethren
Played them off the park
A good close season, a bit of luck and we're going places

Excellent post match interview from Neil. Basically said we’re playing well, we need more up front and we can beat anybody in the league

We’re improving and playing well though I think we were poorer for not having Hoever at LB not that Fox put a foot wrong. Fair play to Gunn he was excellent today and looked twice the goalie he was for us. Ref was diabolical and ruined the game as a spectical buying every dive from them. Hate to target players and he’s a trier but we have to get an upgrade on Brown he just isn’t good enough. Hard work can only get you so far at this level. MOTM Campbell who was excellent again. Special mention also to Sterling and Tzunabe. . Campbell mom😂 I'll have a pint of what you've been on , thought he was back to his usual couldn't be arsed mode after improving in last couple of games.

we were about as good as this side can be. this defence with two strikers next season and we'll be gold. If we keep the loan players maybe

A half decent striker instead of Brown, we would of won this game at a canter.

Played very well today with few options in terms of personnel, if we had a good CF we would have won today. Brown has some strengths to his game but passing, touch, laying off and playing as a central striker are his weaknesses, and it showed.

Always going to be biased but they were clear Norwich got away with one

In the last 2 matches we’ve increased the number of drawn games by 29%

Very frustrating to walk out with only a point but a sure sign of progress right there. We bossed it from start to finish and play off chasing Norwich were resigned to play acting and blatant cheating to rescue a point.
Oh for a centre forward.

3 We did miss Gayle clever movement if not finishing Agreed. He may not be scoring but he is definitely an irritant to the other team which probably isn't a noted statistic but it does seem to be effective and likely would have been today.

We played well, but it's one thing to say we'd win if we had a better version of Brown, but you have temper that against at least two of their more than half decent chances Sargent andtheir striker who had loads of time and really couldve punished us.

Special mention also to Sterling and Tzunabe. . Think you are muddling your players up! Hoever been playing RB before today & Sterling at left back in those games before today. I liked Hoever in his more forward position, good on the ball and always making a nuisance of himself. Overall as many have pointed out unfortunately Jacob not a centre forward target man, can’t fault his effort but needs channeling in another position if remains in the side.

Oh yeah, further to my earlier moaning about no one gambling on the back stick for crosses, I'd like to say... I think we played brilliant today, with skill and a lot of effort and desire, and it was great to see, really enjoyed the game. Unlucky not to score and get the 3 points. Really happy how we're playing just lately.

A really positive thing about how we are playing is that I think it is a lot clearer exactly what positions we need to improve. We seem to have an identity and Neil and the players know exactly how we want to play and that makes it a lot easier when recruiting. Hopefully we can sign Pearson as I think it is very hard to find that kind of player. That’s the operative term - identity We do seem to have an identity now Which in football is essential to obtain any success So onwards and upwards

I’m normally good at not celebrating shots that hit the side netting but from where I was sitting the shot Pearson had looked like it had hit the back of the net!
Was an odd one where everyone else where I was sitting also jumped up in celebration!
Did it catch anyone else out?

I thought it curved into the side netting then its momentum kept it moving along the side netting. I was Def shouting!

I’m the same but I thought theirs in the first half was in and I thought that was in.

When he was appointed I thought AN was not the man for the job and until the last few weeks still believed that.But recent results and performances have proved me wrong.Everyone can see its starting to take shape and improvement is there. For the first time since relegation I've started to look forward to next season.With an out and out striker we must fancy our chances next season. Keep up the good work AN and team and for not making my Saturdays miserable lately.

So John Coates can take credit for decisive move with MON out & AN in - credit where credits due - whatever JC said to him to leave Sunderland where he was building them into a competitive side needs framing.
