My match ratings for yesterday (Leicester away, if you can still remember it)

Greeno - 7 - Didn't have much to do. However, it did drive me mad seeing him hoof the ball up to Ashton quickly from goal-kicks when there were no other Norwich players around him resulting in losing the ball over and over again.

Colin - 6 - poor guy has no one playing in front of him and at times is left exposed. Provided the most comical moment of the match when from just inside our half with no player within 8 yards of him he ran up to the ball and hoofed it as hard as he could 'av it' stylee across the pitch. I almost fell out of my seat laughing.

Drury - 7 - steady game. Looked composed and made very few errors.

Charlton - 7 - I thought (contrary to other reports so far on here) we was our best player by a mile in the first half. His tacking and passing was first class and he looked composed on the ball. The last few games he has really impressed me.

Fleming - 7.5 - looked solid and didn't make too many errors. His distribution was dodgy at times but that was made up by some outstanding blocks.

Doc - 8 - Imperious. Didn't lose anything in the air. His passing from the back wasn't too bad either. Makes me laugh though how it literally takes him 3 or 4 seconds to get down and do a slide tackle.

Safri - 7 - Not his best game but he still looked as good as the other 2 midfielders. Looked neat and tidy. Does a good job mopping up in front of the back 4.

Etuhu - 6.5 - Disappeared from the game at times but he was instrumental in our goal winning the ball and driving down the middle. Won the ball more often in the middle of the park in the second half which is nice.

Hucks - 5.5 - In the first half apart from the times he got behind the defence and looked dangerous he was abysmal. Didn't once look where he was passing the ball in our half and gave it away stupidly. He also never came back to hel Drury. Second half was a bit of an improvement and looked more like his old-self disregarding his awful attempt at a dive. It was cringe-worthy.

Ashton - 6.5 - Looked crap first half but he wasn't helped by the ball being pumped up to his head all the time. Second half big improvement and towards the end his defensive headers really helped out the back four. Unlucky to not have scored when he hit the bar.

McVeigh - 8 - Along with the Doc he was the best player in the team. Was a bit quiet in the first half but his skill and close control was a joy to watch. Just a shame he didn't score that one-on-one in the last minute.

Finally, I have to say that the game was one of the worse i think i have ever seen. There was no passing on the ground through the midfield by either team, just ball-winning, which then turned into a high ball over the defence. Worthy won't keep us in the premiership if we got there again.
