Thoughts on the game
Very frustrating - we were beginning to nicely get on top up until the Klose howler - it really was criminal.
We huffed and we puffed but there was just nothing being created - Murphy was ineffective as was Pritchard until Wes came on in the second half.
New left back looked tired and he really needs this weeks break after so many games in such a short spell after his winter break.
Wildschutt showed signs that he could be / will be a good player but we struggled to give him much of the ball.
Jerome worked really hard and was pleased he got a goal. I'm usually a big critic of Whitaker but to be fair I thought he did ok today - made a cracking last gasp challenge / clearance saving a certain goal in the first ten minutes.
We looked better when Wes came on as we invariably do but again there was a lack of clear cut chances.
I didn't think today was as terrible as some have been making out - it was no means good, but nowhere near as bad as when I saw us at Birmingham or what Brighton and Rotherham sounded like. Cringed when large parts of the support were singing 'what the f**kin hell was that?' at the end when players were applauding - just see this as so counter productive - this wasn't a case of a no show / lack of effort where derision may be justified.
Other than that(!) It was a cracking day. Great little ground, cheap parking right next door, our own little bar in the away compound area, good grub - never thought I'd have faggots and peas at a game - although not sure I ever will again!
Genuinely friendly locals and staff at the ground, standing on terracing and some good banter between the seated and standing norwich fans. Hope Burton stay up so can go back again next season if, as it seems, we won't be going up.
OTBC!
