They give it there all second half can’t ask for more than that. It’s not over yet. We love em anyway.

Damn straight

Watching the replays, both of their goals were handball.

That game has baffled me tbh, was fine blaming it on fatigue and lack of depth after the weekend but then we came out second half and were much better. Could’ve had a point in the end.

Better but still consistently gave the ball away cheaply. Torp looked good/dangerous when he came on. Should’ve started with tired legs in the team

 

[fernandopartridge]

Play offs are pretty much over, bar winning all 5 of our remaining games. Just can't see it happening, with our squad and the number of fixtures we have in such a short space of time.

We should beat the Blues and then either Preston or Bristol are more than capable of taking points of Norwich before we play a league match again.

Likely a bit too much to do but nowhere near over yet

 

[fernandopartridge]

Disappointing result but we live to fight another day, I'd be even more pissed off if I was a Norwich fan with my team's result tonight

No, but Birmingham will be about as up for it as possible. Tougher game than tonight arguably

They are a shit team though, any kind of performance from us is enough,

Yep var rules first one out defo but overturns our pen

I thought that too , looked very lethargic first half yet finished strongly

no way does it if you have seen some of the ones it has let stand in the PL

Off the hand into the goal

 

[SkyblueTexan]

The Cardiff game was the sickener

that was the one. They’re shite

I agree., Last season we even had a goalie score a goal, but to score 2 weird own goals really must mean fate is not on our side

So what were you expecting from this game lol. We’ve taken one point total from the rest of the top 4 away, anything here would’ve been a bonus.

Off the hand into the goal

The second one it rolls down his arm.

 

[Matt smith]

Victor torp has to start Saturday

 

[Johnnythespider]

We will beat Brum on Saturday and Norwich will lose at Preston. 2 points behind Norwich in 6th with a game in hand. Think that's a real possability. This is not over yet.

Worth noting Preston will be on the same points and games played as us in that scenario

 

[Tommo1993]

Leicester lost!

Completely irrelevant.

 

[David O'Day]

Off the hand into the goal

the pen I was talking about

 

[Joy Division]

This c**t was from the Isle of Wight obviously. An absolute joke.

Can't be having City in contention for play off final and FA cup final. FA doing their best to sort that out.

 

[Nick]

Just slowed the second one right down, Collins does make contact but Adams basically catches it with his arm in the air and it falls for him to put it in.

Of course the officials wouldn't have seen it.

 

[Warwickhunt]

Totally agree

To be fair, regardless of the result I expected a better performance. We had a late rally but we outplayed for most of the game. Our ball retention was really really poor under the high press.

 

[The watchmaker]

Preston's fixtures are horrific. If they make the playoffs - fair play to 'em.

 

[MikeyMoo]

Our GD 17 better than PNE. Even better, by the time we get to the rescheduled Hull fixture their season will be over.

 

[theferret]

Frustrating in the end, but left ourselves too much to do.

Something about us on our travels under the lights this season. Cardiff, Hull, Albion, Plymouth, Rotherham, tonight, just 2 points from 18!

 

[skybluecam]

I’d like to see a few changes on Saturday. Torp, Binks, Dasilva, Palmer etc. Needs freshening up a bit.

 

[Hobo]

We are still in it until the maths says it is impossible. Keep the faith. PUSB.

Ok
Preston Vs Norwich
Norwich Vs Bristol
Norwich Vs Swansea
Birmingham Vs Norwich

Whatever points they get we need to better that by 5 points with 1 more game.

 

[David O'Day]

Aye, if they deal with all of Norwich, Southampton, QPR, Leicester and the Baggies then fair fucks to them

 

[fernandopartridge]

If we went into the last game two points behind Norwich we're still in with a chance, some of the histrionics on here

Torp was decent when he came on. Binks as well looked more positive on the ball with his passing range than Kitching.

All of those events haven't happened yet, relax you drama queen

I don’t know the exact stats but I think I looked it up before and our record in midweek away games since we came back up awful. Off the top of my head I can only remember a couple of wins in 4 seasons.

 

[Boicey]

I think we need quality not quantity in the summer. Certainly a good Calum replacement.
Defensively is more complex. It isn’t solid enough, but who will MR drop?
And are there any assertive keepers anymore?

 

[Nick]

This is the first.
