I lost patience with him a few weeks back. Gave him some grief at the Middlesbrough game which I now regret. He's a good lad who never hides. He was fantastic today and deserved his motm award. Playing as well as he ever has and definitely worth his place injuries or not. |

For me it's the desire that Dunne shows to get forward and impact the game. It doesn't always work but he never stops showing. Paal was good today and okay against Norwich. Today he seemed more up for it and was noticeably stronger in the tackle. If his heart is back in it then we might get him back to his best and maybe he will earn/be offered a new contract. |

No complaints from me today. Thought he had his best game for a good long while. Stronger in the tackle, linked up pretty well with Chair. More of that for the rest of the season please Kenny. |

He did well today. Some really good headers and blocks. He's committed and you can see a better understanding developing between him and Dunne. Dunne got some stick as a CB in the past but he was often played as left side CB. He's so much more comfortable on the right. |

Ashby and Paal were both excellent today. Credit where it's due. I've given Paal some stick but that was much more like it from him. Dunne and Fox forming a nice little partnership at CB. Old school no nonsense stuff. |

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. |
