Today

[Boxer Blade]

I enjoyed our performance today, like everybody else disappointed to lose, but I thought we played good football against another well established championship side, they were well organised and quick on the break but, other than a few strange defensive moments in the first 15 minutes or so we looked again like we did last season, 68% possession and they were time wasting as soon as they scored, get our strikers back, continue playing in the same way and we are in for a good season, these things happen I for one came away disappointed with the result but full of confidence for the season, as always, just my opinion.

Much the same for me. They were very ordinary and would have been there for the taking had we had a fully fit squad. Their centre backs had an afternoon off really. Our play was very good at times although we gave the ball away more that we usually do but overall i'm not disappointed with the performance just the result. We deserved more than we got.

We lost.
It's a bugger.

But we have definitely arrived, you can see that by the Norwich set up today.

UTB!

Same here. We were the better side but just didn't have the killer instinct up top, which is understandable with five strikers out injured.

We've put ourselves in a position where this result doesn't hurt us that much. Under wilder we've always bounced back with victories after a loss like this, which means a win on Sunday

We played well considering we have pretty much all our strike force out.

Norwich did a job on us, which is a compliment to us considering the recent status of both teams.

Looked like two mid table sides today which is a compliment to us. We've come a long way in a short time
