For those that can view.

Strange game, we passed the ball like Barca in the first half but in the second half we couldn't pass water, with Johnson being the main culprit, until they scored. Then we suddenly found our passing boots again.

Thought the ref was a bit lenient on the treatment Wilson received. Despite our superior possession we didn't seem to get the ball or players in their penalty area. Something we need to work on.

Keogh for their goal! Is is still spinning on the spot?

666 will have a field day. He was swatted aside like a troublesome bluebottle.

BTW is it too early for a beer?

I'm waiting for a flight home (from Brussels), so there is plenty of the stuff about.

If he was swatted aside Scouse then a foul should have been given. It's the rules of the game. The guy running in was a bit aggressive. Doubt that goal would have stood in the Premier league or on the continent. Same as the treatment handed out to Wilson. Shame we couldn't have attacked their central defenders more as their number 6 Zimmerman was more like Zimmerframe.

Will be passing you in the air possibly Scouse as I fly out to Sicily today. Guessed the international break correctly when I booked the flight.

I'm just finishing my 2nd beer scouse, never too early

I've also just found the highlights of Keogh from the game

Why can't we organise a space trip (one way) for the useless t\/\/at?

Have a good holiday Spart.

He should be embarrassed at his effort to defend that cross. He needs to man-up, but he's never going to make it while he's got a hole in his arris.

I wonder what Roy Mac thinks when he's watching him waving his arms about as the ball sits at the back of our net?

My my, Scouse, getting up early does make you grouchy in the morning!
Give it up mate, you'll never be 666. Without his football knowledge, you just haven't got the credibility.

Oh, hang on a minute.......

Ey-up Ang.

Hard to "defend" him though after watching the highlights!

I've only seen it the once, but it seems like a strong run from an aggressive player will always get the jump on the player who has a standing start, like many of our goals conceded so far this season.
Not trying to defend Keogh, just not desperately trying ti scapegoat him either

Hard to defend him? Keogh was excellent last night. Ask anybody that went. If you look at it...Klose was Tomori's man...he let him have a free run. Tell me why Tomori stopped running with him?

Well this will keep us going until Saturday

From what I've been reading from Spart and elsewhere, our performance wasn't as dire as it was portrayed on R Derby last night. Just waiting for confirmation from trustworthy witnesses like Vidal and Backo and I can face up to the Norwich fans at work this morning

1st half was pretty even Ang. After the break Norwich were the better side till they scored. Great save from Krul to deny Mount late on...a real top draw save. Probably a fair result but I have to say Norwich looked a decent side and played well. People forget sometimes that teams are allowed to play well against us. 4 wins on the bounce before last night hadn't they? We kept going and got a point.

Backo

That's a fair comment Backo. They came to us on a red hot streak full of confidence. We went into the game after a defeat.
I predicted a loss because of that so I'm kind of okay with a draw.
We weren't rubbish but we can be a lot better.

'People forget sometimes that teams are allowed to play well against us.'

Amen to that. Can't be said enough

Didn’t think it was Keogh’s fault for the goal last night, someone else didn’t follow the runner but as Backo says they are a decent side and I sure as hell alluded to it on the match thread.

My frustration is continually starting Nugent but I’ve said my piece enough on the matter.

It was Tomori Igor. He was picking him up from the corner and just let him run.

I was surprised Nugent and Bennett started last night. They have done well lately and put plenty of effort in. Marriott,Waghorn,Lawrence,Josefzoon must all be chomping at the bit. Ive noticed last 2...to get Waghorn and Marriott together upfront we have change to a diamond midfield. Interesting to get 2 up top.

For sure need to jazz it up, we are too predictable and how many times has Nugent got a block when is running the keepers throat, once if I recall since he’s being here and all it does is tire him out.

Hard to knock Tomori as he is a joy watch and reads the game but bravery has to be questionable.
