Let's be honest, for relegation fodder like Norwich, losing 1-0 tonight works have been 0.5 points gained against teams in their sub division
Obviously shipping a shedload against anyone isn't good, but in my view if a team has a genuine style of play it's probably best to stick to that as far and as often as possible. I remember the Jacks getting beaten 4-0 at Manchester City in their first Premier League game and the scoreline could have been much bigger. However, they stuck to their style and ended the season in 11th place.
