Always great to win on the road, but the second half was far too negative. Incredibly lucky to come away with the win.
I thought our game plan of "holding on" from the minute we scored was poor. We invited far too much pressure when we could've put the game to bed. I'm gobsmacked Norwich didn't equalise.
Far too many players who have the first thought of going backwards rather than forwards. It's really frustrating when there are forward passes on too.
Issac Price is never a number 10. Number 10s first thought is to create, his first thought is almost always to go backwards.
We almost conceded when we worked it back to Griffiths and he did a bad kick, that move started with Price on the edge of the Norwich box passing it back to the centre halves when he could've done anything with it.
There were a few positives though...
Griffiths obviously won us the game with a couple of great saves. I've been less than impressed generally, but hopefully he seems to be growing into the role.
Maja scoring on his return.
Heggebo looked excellent when we came on. Won every ball forward. Was by far our best passer. Sadly for him, he came on when nobody else had any intention of going forward.
Chuffed with the points but the jury is out on Mason's tactics for me. He was negative against Boro and negative tonight. I don't think we need to be hanging on against teams like Norwich.
