Souttar accomplished centre back. Foot in, head in and good anticipation, intelligent defender. Gilchrist played well too. As the game wore on we started to flag. Norwich seemed a fitter team whereas we looked tired towards the end. Fair result, hard fought point. But I thought of the last time I was at Carrow Road in the promotion season when we won. Billy scored a brace if I remember correctly pen and a header. We're short of that level. Points will be hard to come by in this league.

Norwich is a good day out. Couple of pints in the Last Pub Standing pre-match, 1 at half time, Wherry's ale?, not great, a couple after in Pogue Mahone's near the station. Lots of Blades in there. Got soaked though, non stop rain.

What a strike by Arblaster! Highlight of the afternoon. We have to hold onto him. Although he too started to tire in the last third. Norwich started to dominate midfield. Settled for a point. It's going to be a tough season I think. I backed us at 12/1 for the title after the Preston game and 5/1 for promotion. Maybe got the red and white tinted glasses on. Brooks played well too especially first half but he's not a finisher. Stretches the opposition defence with his runs. That's his strong point.

Cooper solid, left exposed for their goal. Moore? Hmm. Unsure. We need a prolific goalscorer. That's what made me think of Sharp. He's what we're lacking.
