Norwich boss Paul Lambert was equally upbeat about his side?s performance and singled out Grant Holt ? who had an early shot kept out courtesy of Paddy Kenny?s one-handed save ? for praise.
Lambert said: ?I felt we were excellent, I really did, and we were unlucky not to win. Holt is an old- fashioned No.9. He is almost unplayable when he is like that.
?To call him that is not a derogative statement. He is a brilliant centre-forward. The goalkeeper made a really good save and if that had gone in, I think we would have gone on to win. We always looked as if we could score and we drove on until the end.
?The players have a terrific desire not to get beaten. I couldn?t have asked for any more from them.?
?Wes Hoolahan?s performances for me have been top class and he?s scored his two previous penalties.
?He?ll bounce back. I won?t have a problem with him taking the next one if he wants to.
