thought piroe brought a calmness that rutter didnt

Yes said same Tad. Very calm and controlled ball well. Created a few chances too.

Although I would like to see him given a chance up front now that Rutter has found the position most of us said he should play at

Managed to get a couple of tickets and agree Preston were very cynical, time wasting, fouling every time anyone got to turn and break from midfield.
I was surprised after their early goal they did not go longer more and try to get at us quicker, particularly with the wind. We look pretty flaky on crosses.

Some good performances but I worry about Bamford and lack of pace now although he helps link the play. Important win

both defences struggled on crosses and Preston defensive players were huge.
possibly the wind was far worse than it looked.
at one point the flag on the corner post in the cheese wedge corner was touching the grass!!!

Have to say watching the game tonight I`m not sure how Leicester are so far ahead in this league.
Ipswich looked the better team to me and they keep snagging the points.

leicester could, and should, have been out of sight at half time.
yet another bit of luck with the keeper spilling it.
if luck gets you promoted Ipswich will be champions!

also it's 2 more points pulled back

There’s nothing between Leeds Leicester Southampton first 11 imo. I’d say Leicester have the best depth hence why better results over a longer period of games. Ipswich getting run of the ball no doubt but Leicester brought that on themselves last night, they lost control in midfield second half

A lot of chat about Ben Godfrey to Leeds from Everton today on socials… he is leaving Everton according to Romano and a few clubs are in for him. Former Norwich player under Farke

Well that was tense!!
showed another side tonight, kept our shape brilliantly when we never had the ball.
another grind but 3 points is all that counts

Agree Tad. Very tight game against an inform team. Solid and battled well and we had the best chances. Sounds like Gray and James injuries are ok and minor. We desperately need options at the back coming in, especially at RB. Firpo solid again too. All the back 4 were excellent and Gruev good again.

It was tense but dont feel like they really troubled us and didnt think they were going to score. Agree with the above, also Rodon was a stand out, clears up a lot of mess and great in the air.

Norwich defended really well, good job we go the early goal.

Agree, and i think Bamford is giving us more of a goal threat too, I'm not sure Rutter gets on the end of that last night if he was at 9.. im not saying Bamford is turning into prime Lineker by the way but he's giving us more options in final 3rd imo.

thing with rutter at 10 is he loses the ball wide and there's a huge gap in the midfield, which norwich exploited a lot last night.
piroe is a miles better finisher than bamford. id like him to have a go at 9 on Saturday.
