Norwich v Burnley Sunday 15th Dec Match thread

[TPClaret]

We really didn’t deserve to win, but ill take it.

Chin up

[Newcastleclaret93]

Football was poor, but result fantastic. At this stage in a season you have got to take that every single time

[IanMcL]

How have we won that???

[Tricky Trevor]

Wow.
Norwich 1-2 Dustbins. I hate it when we just boot it long instead of trying to play out.
Yet again we are much better second half, it has to be the plan it happens so often.

[Cirrus_Minor]

Thank **** for that

[Stonehouse]

Just sat here having a moan watching tripe than having to sit here biting my nails

[ClaretLoup]

Excellent result especially coming from one down. Only Norwich’s second home defeat of the season.

[Andreshotboots]

Traffords double save was a game changer.. great character boys if nothing else at times..

[TPClaret]

Great win. That Flemming goal worth 3 points on its own

[gandhisflipflop]

How did we win that one? God only knows. Relief.

[HahaYeah]

Hail Scott Parker, really got a grip of that second half, great result.

[IanMcL]

Ashley Barnes negotiating with Scott Parker!

[evensteadiereddie]

Absolutely no one saw that coming! Full credit to them, they've turned it around from no where.

I think you'll find.....

[dvalley69]

That first half was abysmal and deserved negativity,second half has been a completely different story.People are entitled to their opinion whether you like it or not.

Where did I say they weren't allowed an opinion? Let's see who gives credit now for a WIN, when everyone had basically given up and said how crap we are and we won't score till midnight.

Great character from this side and everyone says we're wimpish... people can have their opinions, but they clearly haven't got a clue about us. This side has character and to come back and win at Norwich is a massive result.

[Wokingclaret]

Well done to turn that around

[Commy]

Ashley Barnes negotiating with Scott Parker!

Thinking the same

[Robbo1882]

Great result, very happy with the 3 points

[taio]

Traffords double save was a game changer.. great character boys if nothing else at times..

Very good performance and a big moment

[Poulton-le-Claret]

Every credit to the lads, huge win that. Very happy that Parker made the subs and turned it around.

Let's hope Esteve injury isn't serious.

[Robbie_painter]

Only the second time they’ve lost at home this season.After a **** poor first half it’s a great 3 points.Full credit to the lads and lasses that travelled down there as well.Great effort.

[TPClaret]

Everyone sulking at half time. Like I said it was only 1-0 at half time

[Since62]

Better and two great goals in the second half but still not convinced about the forwards. Need to carry the momentum forward into the holiday period.

[ksrclaret]

Unbelievable that we've come away with a win after that god awful showing up until Flemming's worldie.

I really hate the way we play at times, and the number of players who are shunted out of position, but the one thing I'll always be grateful to Parker for is getting a team spirit and some discipline back into our players after Kompany's sloppiness. It took some character to win that game.

[Goalposts]

Koelsho took offence at something their

[Hedontplayforyou]

How on Earth did we win that? Literally a bolt from the claret n blue from Flemming . And capitalising on a mistake , the football needs to improve going forward dramatically.

[RVclaret]

3/10 first half, 8/10 second half. Laurent was my MOM I thought he was outstanding when he came on, even though I thought it was strange not putting Flemming on for Sarmiento at the time. Trafford was superb and that’s a great win.

[hoosier-daddy]

Everyone sulking at half time.

Some are sulking at full time with a win.

[pushpinpussy]

I love the fact that all this imbeciles who were slagging us off all game are now changing their opinion 45 mins later. A little tip. Wait unit 90 mins as gone before you start spouting off your rubbish knowledge.

[THEWELLERNUT70]

There's some reyt knuckle dragging belmtards on here who appear to begrudgingly give Burnley credit or at times appear to be willing Burnley to lose

F*cking pathetic and I wish they'd all f*ck off and stop infecting the board with their bile

Rant over, move on!

[burnley007]

Science says that wasn't possible

[boatshed bill]

Brilliant result.

[HB Claret]

Great result built out of sheer effort in the second half. Trafford kept us in it with the triple save moment, Hannibal gets dogs abuse and is kicked all over the park, Brownhill almost a second forward second half. Referee was crap - I don’t think Norwich took a throw or free kick from the right place all game. Not pretty but totally deserved IMO.

[The Shire Claret]

We are hot and Cold with our halves of football

Massive massive result

We’re gonna win the league

Because you're so much better than us??

How was the ban? Give you time to think about things did it?

Correct. Bunch of fannies.

Your grammar is shocking for a solicitor.

[Moorite]

Great win from a very tough game.

You advising people on spouting rubbish knowledge is a classic.


Great three points, UTC.

[Blyclaret]

Science says that wasn't possible

Science says support the team and manager.

[Stonehouse]

Surely a outsiders view would be that 4 th place Burnley were dreadful for 45 mins ,and the 2nd half showed lots of character after losing 2 of their most influential players and Hannibal and Laurent added the extra energy which was sadly lacking in the first half.

[NickBFC]

Definitely feel Trafford is coming of age this season. Needs to be more convincing claiming crosses (is improving), but as said above a few key moments today where he came out on top. Also think John Egan looks a solid player, excellent depth in central defence.

[IanMcL]

Hannibal clashed with their players, long after whistle and handshakes.

Coaches separated players. Cullen leads Hannibal off with his arm round him.

[taio]

Because you're so much better than us??

Did you celebrate Norwich's goal like you did Millwall's against us?

[FCBurnley]

Norwich will rue trying to sit back and defend. Thought Hannibal and Laurent made a big difference but still have no idea how we won but a stunning goal from Flemming

[Hedontplayforyou]

Hilarious this place at times . If folk can’t see that the first half was abysmal and resembled quite a big percentage of our play this season then there is something amiss. To want it to be better isn’t a crime , we are capable of much more goijg forward .

[Somethingfishy]

Struggling to think of a game where we have been as disjointed as that and gone on to win.

Parker has to take the blame for that first 60 minutes. He also has to take the credit for the tactical changes and subs that turned it around. Risking it a little by sacrificing a left back (albeit a very poorly performing one)

Pires and Humphreys were both poor. I thought Cullen was poor until the changes. Too slow and getting mugged of the ball a lot and when he plays poor the whole team seems to suffer.
Trafford with some quality saves but iffy distribution. Koleosho And Anthony again guilty of just running into their full backs. Laurent excellent when he came on as was Flemming.

That was a bit of a rollercoaster today.

[CoolClaret]

Feel for some on here - must be upset after we've won that!

Good changes at halftime by Scott Parker - spot on.

I didn't see a single poster say how good it was to see CJ back when the starting lineup was posted - all it was, was negative, negative, negative. It was the first thing I saw.

[Pickles]

Better, without truly convincing, in what was a very open second half. Parker's changes had some positive impacts and all in all, we were probably just about good value for the win. That tepid first half shouldn't be forgotten though. But unbeaten in eight.
