Great fun to watch. Points in August while the squad is slightly in turmoil are good.

We desperately need some defenders tho. Third goal was scored by a completely unmarked player in our box FFS.

Norwich looked like a good Championship side physical and fairly direct so this was a good challenge.

Sam- Amo looked class when he came on. Smallbone and Charly looked great but we probably need a DM to tighten things up in the middle.

Loving the extra time, flurries of yellow cards and no VAR.

Well l guess getting a set piece coach worked well not,defense all over the place as usual.Been saying it for years but never gats any better. Still Jack Stephens as captain will surely get things organized. COYS.

Very entertaining show. We tried desperately to attack more than we have done for ages. Only problem is Bazanu, Bednarek, Stephens, Manning, SA, Edozie, AA and Smallbone are not individually up to standard and need replacing in the window. If SR do that we might have a chance of a top ten finish. No chance of promotion, of course, but then I don't think SR have promotion in mind. We shall find out soon enough when we see how much of the player sales are re-invested.

No one expected that
Saints quick transition was very pleasing on the eye and was the exact opposite of their defending
Bazunu must take more responsibility for crosses especially when they come over his six yard area
If we could invest in two new centre backs and a new keeper we may have a chance

Hmmm. may have been entertaining but there was not a lot of quality on show. Martin has got to figure out how to get some defensive midfield cover in front of the CBs or we are going to get continually over-run. Not helped today by Manning and KWP playing poorly but Smallbone and Alcaraz didn't help much either. We had better hang on to Adams since AA just cannot hold the ball. We will also need to beef up. Norwich out muscled us all over the park, particularly Tella and Edozie. Subs were all good and well timed.

Awful defending but a great atmosphere and great game. Well deserved the draw. So much better to watch a match without VAR getting in the way. Alvarez did some great stuff but did give the ball away alot.

I’ve just looked at the ratings. Anyone that gave Alcarez less than 8 is clueless imo . A quality footballer who stood out a mile .

We knew Sheffield Wednesday were a poor side -thrashed by mighty Hull yesterday. Norwich are a much more physical side with some talented players taking advantage of their physical advantage. Yes Alcaraz was sensational going forward but gave the ball away too many times in dangerous areas;. If we get Downes he will definitely toughen up our defending (until he gets injured)and I am surprised, at this level, that Russell Martin doesn't place greater value on the contribution of Che Adams. If we continue to pick up yellow cards at the current rate we shall soon be playing the 'Gillingham' squad again! Crazy days but at last some real entertainment!

8 goals so can't say it wasn't entertaining but such poor defending by both teams. Our new set piece coach certainly has his work cut out. Rowe got their third goal surrounded by 5 saints players, yet none within a metre of him? Alcaraz has so much promise but his first touch at times was very Beattieesque and needs to tighten that up before he is worthy of an 8. It's pretty much a work in progress and the noise in the stadium reflected that as it was nearly all positive. And anyone that can't raise a smile when young Amo gets on the ball doesn't understand football at all!
