Great result!! What a save from Muric at the end. He has properly earned his stripes with that one!

Brilliant to keep a clean sheet there.
Decent performance.
We'll see how good the squad depth is as injuries and bookings taking their toll.

Pretty even game after the first 20 minutes but the sort of game that champions find a way to win.

Did we win tonight? I thought we had to score 2 goals to win with this shaky defence and dodgy keeper

The ex ******* gives away the penalty that the Burnley lad scored in an absorbing tie at the top of the Championship. Chef's kiss.

Even? Norwich didn’t bother attacking until we scored.

Dominant.

Crikey, that Muric save at the end though.

Absolutely delighted with that. Biggest thing for me was the substitutions towards the end, even if we’d conceded I’d have supported that. Feels like we’re learning and developing.

Didn't think we created much second half and it was a nervous watch. They had a few chances after we scored but also the Cantwell one at the start of the half.

Great three points against very tough opposition. What a save from Muric at the end, not easy when you have had nothing to do all the game.

2 points repaid by Muric. Great save when needed. But it was the Neanderthal what won it. What an idiotn

Funny how this table lark works isn’t it. Suddenly we’ve now beat 3 out of 3 in the top 8 when a few games back we hadn’t played anyone decent.

The goal posts keep being moved. It'll be QPR that's the real challenge from tomorrow.

Don't forget Sheff Utd. It's still theirs to lose!
Be great to push on though with two more home games to come.

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Tue Oct 25, 2022 10:03 pm

It's frightening that Kompany says we will get better. We should start to learn how to break down these teams that put everyone behind the ball.

BurnleyFC · Post by **BurnleyFC** » Tue Oct 25, 2022 10:03 pm

I like the look of Dervisoglu. He was excellent when he came on and looks to have a decent turn of pace too.

Me too. Clearly got something about him. Hope that gives him a break into the team now.

Great win and fully deserved, I thought Norwich got much more physical in the second half and glad we finished them off

1968claret · Post by **1968claret** » Tue Oct 25, 2022 10:07 pm

Very accomplished performance. Not at our best in the final third to be fair. But we are just so calm and assured on the ball and have so many players who can frighten defenders.
Was a joy to watch tonight.

Brilliant goal-saving challenge by JBG.

Tribesmen · Post by **Tribesmen** » Tue Oct 25, 2022 10:12 pm

All in all it ended up a closer game than it should have been , look Norwich had a plan which worked you have to say , now when they went 1 down they had to throw everyone forward but we saw out the game just .
These are games that you win with one touch of the ball and for us it was Jay .
If we are to go up this is how you scrape out wins .
Happy i must say .

Dervisoglu looked pretty lively when he came on.......bodes well, we need more threat in behind up front.

Tella is quick enough to get in behind but it’s difficult when the opposition defends so deep.

When they are that deep your best bet is clever technical play in between the lines which is why I’m thinking Twine will be a big addition when we have him available.

Also Dervisoglu looks like he could have that technical ability so hopefully we see more of him.

Twine was there today. Giving autographs to the BL apparently.

Deserved it, bu have deserved it t so many times this season without getting the win. Brilliant to actually get what we clearly deserved, but we have to turn possession and superiority into goals far, far more than we do.

I think by the time we see him he’ll be old enough to sit in the Bob Lord.

Just as well we haven’t really even needed him yet.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Tue Oct 25, 2022 10:25 pm

Always likely to be a a tight contest tonight against a decent Norwich outfit, but we were finally rewarded for our persistence thanks to Jay and at the end Muric with a vital stop to seal the points.

Starting to keep more clean sheets in recent games despite having to rejig the backline that has to be a good sign as we're always likely to notch with our creative players.

Tonight and Coventry were exactly the ty[e of ugly wins you need to dig out throughout a long season to secure promotion.

Still loads of footy to go yet but we've given ourselves some breathing space from the pack now with 2 winnable home games looming.

Agreed, apart from a 5 minute spell at the start of the 2nd half, Norwich didn't even look to attack, complete domination.
