Impressive Norwich beaten by two goals in last five minutes.

Good write up as aways Bob.
Shane Duffy, who scored two own goals when he played for Blackburn down here. Weren't they very early on in the season, and didn't they make him our highest goal scorer for a short while? Or have I dreamed that up?
We were very lethargic up front for most of yesterdays game , Colwill was plodding about like he wasn't that interested . Tanner ,other than one superb move where he set up Willock had been very quiet. No one was pressing with any intent.
When Robinson was introduced we looked a totally different proposition , everyone up front started pressing Norwich's defence , it lifted the crowd and I felt we could get something from the game as there was a great atmosphere building in the ground.

Colwill and Tanner not firing yesterdayQuote:

To be fair Norwich were doubling up on them both at times, giving ODowda more space to run. Paid off in the endQuote:

Great write up as we all expect Bob.
Going back to about 2000, was it Lincoln and Hartlepool we beat inside 4 days, when both games we were one down after 90 minutes? Paul Brayson scored in at least one of those fight backs if not both.
Yes. Lincoln on the Saturday and Hartlepool on the following Tuesday. Brayson scored the equaliser against Lincoln, can't remember who bagged the winner, but seem to think it might have been an own goal. Bonner (cue Sludge slobbering at the mention of his name) and the lesser-spotted Kurt Nogan scored the last two against Hartlepool. If I remember correctly, Hartlepool scored in the last minute or two themselves, which looked like a winner.Quote:

Funny you mention Companies House Bob in your report. I worked there 1984-85 and well remember the parties, I actually vomited slightly over a manager after drinking vodka & lime out of a pint glass!
Half the time it was all free as the ‘boss’ paid for everything.
Norwich kept possession
Neat and tidy
But impressive ?
Yes it was, the winning goal against Lincoln was a strange og by their keeper I think, Kurt Nogales got the winner against Hartlepool after Mark Bonner had equalised with a very rare goal. Not got the details to hand at the moment, but I think Earnie got the first one against Hartlepool - I think you could well be right about Brayson scoring against Lincoln.Quote:

Yes, I thought they were the best team to come here this season - wasn’t overly impressed with Sunderland, Boro and Leeds who all beat us comfortably here under Bulut.Quote:

After that game we went on to buy the scorer of their 2 goals one Gavin Gordon. Maybe harsh but his most memorable moment for us was taking Rio Ferdinand out in the infamous cup tie.Quote:
