Agree. Most of our attacking threat comes down the right. Paul Smyth is in a good bit of form lately but he's also very well supported by Dunne who regularly gets forward to join in with attacks. Paal is nowhere near Dunne's level at the moment. He was decent when he first arrived but he's only in the team this year due to the total lack of any quality back up. We probably need two new left backs going in to next season. Would be nice if one of them could come from the development squad. |

I'd have Delaney ahead of Paal any day of the week. |

If their player had scored when he passed it to him and put him through on goal, this thread would have been a bit lively. Definitely better than Swansea. A few mistakes but no more or less than any of the rest of the defence. Hopefully he can put in another decent shift against Watford. |

It's a game of two halves. First half we were more than a match for them and played well considering the players we had missing. Second half we were always going to be under the cosh and for most of it we defended in numbers and did it pretty well. Sickener to concede late on but we didn't sh#t the bed and concede another. Let's not forget we were bottom of the league and deservedly so just a few weeks ago. The turnaround is testament to the players and the management. |

Any goal conceded is frustrating but let's be honest, Norwich missed multiple very good chances. The positives were that the players battled hard after such a poor performance at Swansea. These injuries are really hurting us so we'll have to really dig in and scrap for any points we can get over the next few weeks. |

Let's keep perspective. When we saw the starting line up everyone thought we'd get absolutely battered. Norwich have only lost twice at home all season. That is a very good point after the shambles of Boxing day. |

Andersen has to score there. Much more positive than Swansea so far though. |

Seems about a 50:50 split on here between those who rate him and those who don't. Personally I think he's been really poor this season and is consistently targeted by opposition teams. Maybe he's being told to tuck in close to the centre backs as it's baffling how often he leaves so much space for wingers to get crosses in. All that being said, Ashby isn't really any better. He plays with a bit more energy but his passing is very poor. Really hoping we can get a new left back in in January but they may prioritise a CB with all the injuries. |

Better this half. Ashby is a liability in defence though. Some said he's a winger by trade. Doesn't really look like a full back. Offers a bit going forward though. |

Paal having a mare. New left back a real necessity in the window. If we have to play with him and Fox on the left side of defence for an extended period of time we could be in trouble. |

We were reminiscing about that on the train home. I think Albert was involved in the towel shenanigans too. |

My son said that was his favourite game he's been to. Two goals right in front of us (one of them a last minute Jimmy Dunne winner), Sam Field and his water bottle antics and a lively crowd singing all the way down Loftus road on the way out. It's been a great few weeks. |

A few more performances like that and we should be looking at improving his contract. He must be on peanuts. Other clubs will get wind of this kid. |
