Don't Be Distracted - We're Still On Our Way
All the talk was about Fessi. Let's see what happens. Either way, we are doing very well on the pitch. We started slowly but the defence performed ably and gradually we took over the match and in the second half, we probably deserved to win it as we took over midfield.
After inaccurate shooting in our opening two matches, we were much better here with five of our seven shots on target. Joao looked lively up front while Abdi, Lee & Bannan kept things moving in midfield.

I still believe that we need thirty wins for promotion but a draw at Norwich sets down a good marker and takes two points off a side that will be there or thereabouts come May. There were no weak links and we made a top side look very ordinary.
Tuesday will be different because expectations will be higher and we need to win. Most likely we will go with the same squad again. Hopefully we can find enough to get all three points.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
