Post-Match Fans' Opinion

    The sort of game where you go through every emotion. At 80 mins I really thought we were going to hang onto the one-nil. But you always felt that if Norwich upped a gear they could run in a couple of goals in short time as they have done so many times this season, and so it proved. I twitched when they went two-one up and momentarily considered leaving as the Norwich fans waved their scarves singing their promotion songs then....mic drop moment. With seconds left Rinomhota was teed up on the edge of the area and, left foot, hit what from our position perched in the far end side looked to be a speculative shot heading for the corner… More

    Martinez was nowhere near the one that hit the post.

  • NE NewCorkSeth 10 Apr 2019 · 11:18pm

    He was on the replay from behind the posts. If it was on target his hand was where the ball would have been.

  • NR Norfolk Royal 10 Apr 2019 · 11:20pm

    I assumed he must have touched it because the ref gave a corner did he not?

  • CO CountryRoyal 10 Apr 2019 · 11:27pm

    7 shots on target but ok.

  • DR Denver Royal 10 Apr 2019 · 11:38pm

    At the time, thought the shot came off a defender? Anyway, good write up Norfolk, and well said. Agree, esp re. Gunter.

    Played well for the most of it. Disappointed with the lack of pressing towards the end which was always going to haunt us and thought the lack of subs was a real poor call. But the starting 11 worked well and the shape for the most was good, with the two up top causing huge problems Martinez 8 - some really good saves, one off Rhodes at the end kept us in the game Gunter 8 - didn't do much wrong at all, he could have got closer to his marker a couple of times but played really well Yiadom 8 - slotted into centre back well Moore 9 - absolute colossus at the back, that was the old Liam Moore we all know and love MOTM Miazga 7 - few… More

    Yeah, doubt we ‘controlled and held them’ at any point really? Could have been 5-1 or more if I’m honest. Fine margins. I’ll watch it again, as I often do, but can’t fault the effort either way. McCleary disappointing, step slow, even vs tired legs. Blackett, tweener LB, stiff & too far off his man, tho his height really helps in this side. Baker, player in there, but needs better team around him, a la Swift. Rino, great goal for us and him. Miazga, has done really well, but think we could sign a tall-ish CB? Meite, they are bringing him along well in Champ, Oli has influenced.

    Thought Blackett was exceptional second half. Bit shaky in the first but really turned it round Couple of wonder saves from Martinez again. Kept us in it Worth noting it was a good assist by McCleary. Great finish by Rino but was given a very good chance by G Thought everyone did well. Meite is back to his best, Barrow working hard and scoring and creating goals. Rino has made a big difference. Ejaria worked hard and held the ball up well on occasions if not his best game

  • SR Snowflake Royal 11 Apr 2019 · 7:35am

    It's almost like, exactly as when Clement showed faith in him, a run of games has seen Meite find his stride in the team to perform to his potential.

  • NE NewCorkSeth 11 Apr 2019 · 7:49am

    The commentators said "it must have hit a defender" but I didnt see who. The replay they showed on ifollow of the shots was from behind the goal and I dont think Martinez touched it but he certainly had it covered if it were on target.

    Battling performance against all the odds. Good starting line up from Gomes, credit where it's due for his pragmatism rather than being ideological and going there and thinking we could go toe to toe with Norwich. Didn't think he had it in him. Martinez - Brilliant saves to keep us in the game, especially the one from Pukki's header in the second half. 9 MotM Gunter - One of his biggest critics but you have to give him credit for a good performance last night. Still let in quite a few crosses but closed down quite a few as well. Should have had a penalty in the first half. 8 Yiadom - Another very good display from the real player… More
