The Bournemouth fans seem a lot more positive about us than you do!

Must give norwich credit

We were not poor and the game was very like at their place....

We didn't have our constant zip that happens at times...

To me it seemed to is having a spell of oressure for 5 mins and then them....

Against 10 men we seemed to panic and didn't have the patience we normally have....

As for the crowd we were poor today....the expectations at the moment are unreal...

Personally I think we should give credit to Norwich.

When I saw they were lining up 4-4-2 I thought we should be able to boss the midfield like we can do and dictate the play...but we couldn't and that was solely down to Norwich's work rate and shape.

They were excellent out of possession and I was half expecting them to fall away in the second half as that high pressing game didn't appear to be a style they had been playing under their previous manager (could be wrong), but again full credit especially down to ten men.

Completely agree DJ. Norwich are the most effective team I've seen so far this season at nullifying our threat. Yes we had a couple of players below par, but we still normally find a way to win. It didn't happen today and the only frustrating thing for me was that we should have made sure we got a point.

was impressed with Norwich today, especially in the first half. They gave us a real test and for much of the second half I forgot we had more players on the pitch as we huffed and puffed but never looked like getting past a well disciplined defence. I thought our passing was poor throughout the team today, in particular Arter and Surman, although this can also be in part to Norwich pressing so well in the middle of the park. We have the brightest young manager in English football but I do wish at times he would not be so cautious with regards to making changes when we clearly are not making things happen on the pitch. Frustrating to finally lose a game and at the same time let Norwich back into the race, but this could be a good reminder to players and fans we are not invincible just yet. We are still top of the league and I hope we batter Rotherham next Saturday.
