Just back from Carrow Road, my ratings for what its worth...

By the way, this is the first time I have seen NCFC this season.

Theoklitis 7 Not much to do but was comfortable in most things. No chance with either goals, both clinically taken. One slightly mis-judged cross at a corner.

Semi 8.5 Mom along with Spillane. Most dangerous going forward (ok, weve already known that) and made 1st goal with great run. Need to play to his strengths.

Drury 8 Have not been a fan of Drury over the past 3 years but this is the best I have seen him play for a long while. Seems to be back to more like his old best. Would like to see him 1 on 1 against quick wingers before we can really say if he is back to his best.

Spillane 8.5 My mom. Strong in the tackle, uncompromising and good in the air. His touch let him down on a couple of occasions but looked good.

Doc 7 Not too much wrong. Got caught slightly a couple of times but pretty solid.

Whaley 7 Crossing needs to improve but had a couple of really good efforts and another good goal. No worse than Croft in general play but will score more, for sure.

Tudur Jones 7 Strong in tackle, gave the ball away a couple of times too many, but did well and was again competitive.

Hughes 7 Ticked along nicely. Did nothing wrong. Set pieces nothing special.

Hoolahan 8 Gave the ball away a few times but then made up for it by doing some really good things. Fantastic through ball and vision to setup the winning goal.

Martin 8 Played off the left and did well, another one very competitive and gave as good as he got. Looked hungry and 2 good finishes. Ok, I could have scored the first, but he had to be in the position and did well to get there (sprinted in for an easy tap-in).

Holt 7 Lookes like he will have some good tussles with defenders in league 1. Not quick but looks like he will link up with others well. Hard worker.

Subs.

Gill 7 Did fine.

Adeyemi 7 did well, think he will be on the bench next week.

McDonald 7 Not too much time to impress but did nothing wrong.

Cureton - No real time to do anything. unfair to give him a rating!
