I don't think anyone thinks "well that's it top of the league sorted" or that we couldn't do with more players coming in (Worthy's obssession with a target man might be more explicable now). Of course it's important to guard against excessive complacency or unrealistic optimism.
But it's at least as important to allow ourselves to smile and enjoy the fact that Norwich are once again playing good football and winning - yes it's only one game (and no I wasn't there - I experienced the game through the Roy'n'Neil filter), but as someone who hasn't been slow to put the boot in in the bad times I don't think it's unreasonable that people should allow themselves a little space to feel good now we've had a glimmer of better times to come.
Yes there is more to do and no the team is not the finished article and no I don't think "on paper" Earnie is really "the one in 4-5-1" - intuitively he'd do better with someone else to run off and hopefully we'll have a chance to see that later in the season.
But we do have good reason to be cheerful today and a reason to look forward to Saturday and the rest of the season. Let's enjoy it.
