"Must be the poorest Championship in years.

Norwich are a long way short of being a premier league team."

"Norwich were the better side but it was 1-1 when they were given a gift by yet another very poor referee. It was never a penalty irrespective of whether Moore lunged in. It was a clear dive and yellow card offence." [For balance - lots of posts the other way too, eg "VAR may have ruled out their pen but we would have wanted it at the other end so swings and roundabouts on that one."]

"I don`t get this hype about Norwich being a good side, decent and tidy footballing side yes, but take away Pukki and they would only be challenging for the play-offs, they hardly hurt us tonight, a defensive shocker (where have I head that before?) and a dubious penalty were our undoing."

"That was a horrible refereeing performance. It almost makes me hope we don't go up because it was just like trying to play twelve men every week in the premiership. It's not just the big decisions, it's the drip-drip-drip of the benefit of the doubt being given to the more illustrious side every time there is a 50:50. Despite his performance I still just assumed he was going to book the cheating Norwich bastard for diving when the penalty came. Luckily we don't have VAR: they would have spent three minutes chalking off our goal for invisible handball then three minutes awarding the penalty because the complete lack of any contact whatsoever wasn't obvious from every angle."
