The boys played with courage and determination from the get go in this difficult away match in front of more than 62.000 people in the crowd - performing so fine in heavy rain for large periods of the match.
Breathtaking tempo and special notes for especially Daniel Peretz who was absolutely fantastic in goal, but also JWP, Azaz and Lewis Dobbin deserves special mentioning as do others. Dobbin was everywhere and even made a good target player with his relatively small stature and quick feet and scored that important 3-1 goal - replacing an injured Larin - and he almost made it 4-1 with good determination and skills from a clever through ball from Finn Azaz after a fine first touch (and turn?) hitting the outside of the far post with a fine, low shot from his (weaker) left foot from the edge of the penalty area.
Very enjoyable match where we were clinical and absorbed and coped with the pressure we were up against in periods greatly.
Manning, Stepho, Bree and Slotts were superb in defense and Matsuki ran and ran and ran in midfield and helped the defense well with JWP and Jander in a team who made a fine statement today.
We have a very, very good team and a very, very good manager I'm happy and proud to say.

Really good match to watch. Was a bit worried that we often seemed to let them back in the game for extended periods. However it turned out I was worrying unnecessarily as we defended superbly.
Tonda is back to his inspirational best. Team looked confident going forward and Dobbin and Jander got vital minutes to let them play into form. Poachers goal for Dobbin should help build his confidence.
I think we have the best midfield in the championship in both ability and depth. This win was achieved without 2 of our best players being available.

Mixed report. Clear penalty was not given and we missed two sitters. At the other end, some really dozy defending - got away with it a couple of times. Thanks to Peretz we kept the clean sheet which was the main positive from this game! |

Nice clean sheet - third in a row but we couldn't take our chances. 3 of them HUGE chances, which was obviously disappointing. We put an effort in , though. That said, how about that ridiculous amount of offside decisions by that lines man. WOW.
We could have lost the game because of some pretty poor self inflicted ball losses in dangerous areas in the second half.
I thought Peretz had one world class safe after one of those ball losses, half sitting, half lying down on the goal line , stretching his right arm out to block a pretty close range shot with his right hand reflex safe. Formidable.
Before Tonda we would probably have lost this game.
He is doing something special with our team. I can just "sense" it.
Very promising young manager. Offer him a good long contract. AZAP.
Sh*tty that Larin had an injury and was forced off. Hope it's only a knock and that both him and Downes are travelling to London next saturday as match day squad members.
COYS! <3 <3 <3 |

Talking point is the most blatant penalty never given, but Brie also missed an open goal, and Dobbin should have scored when 1on1. That said, if you'd have asked 8 days ago would you take 7 points from 3 games I'd have said yes. Just annoyed because it should have been another 3 today. |

We are becoming obsessed with clean sheets That only means you will not lose I preferred it when we were winning 3,4 or 5 1
Enough clear cut chances to have won this comfortably
Thirty thousand people saw a clear hand ball. Two people didn't see it. |

Good performance, the early breakthrough made Derby come out to play. They worked hard but our defence was resolute. Really sad for Amadou, I've marked him 10 as a show of unity.
Really annoying to lose the clean sheet so late in added on time, unfortunate as we were down to ten men. Hope Ronnie and Smyth are ok for Saturday. Ronnie seemed to stretch his hamstring and Paul was battered again. Subs had a better impact than Friday. Julian would get a 9. |

Good performance with a worryingly changed starting 11, but those who were rested probably needed it, and those coming in did well. Another clean sheet, not least due to Dobbin with his goal line body clearance; he played well and showed that he is a good signing. Just wait and see.
A sh*tty thing that Downes went over on his left angle. Not so wise that he tried to continue I thought but credit to him for his warrior big heart..
Jander came on and played very well plus got an assist.
Peretz, Slott'berg and Stevo were my men of the match together with Dobbin and Jander.
I think we are starting to look like a team that is just about to become continuously very well oiled.

Hard fought win
Too many changes but worked out ok in the end
Good that a few got a rest, but at what cost ?
Hope Downes is fit for the weekend and Jander didn't over-do it.
Should have killed the game off |

Most would have been worried when we saw the starting elevenbut it worked We were not particularly dynamic more business like
Norwich worked hard themselves but really lack quality in the final third I suspect they will think they deserved a point and I wouldn't disagree with them
We saw why we brought Dobbin and Abbot into the club and both will improve with more minutes |
