Good day at Portman Road despite not winning the match 20:45 - Sep 2 with 4111 views | Mach_foreignBlue | First and foremost big thanks to Pendejo for having picked me up this morning. Thank you Mike ! That noise when Edwards scored. For that alone I'm so gutted that we haven't won. But we got deservedly punished for letting them back into the game and not taking our chances. That opportunity when Nolan had a time and space. Just hit the bloody target !!! In terms of how we played and general atmosphere among the fans it's been by far the most enjoyable derby for years. I had been down there last year when Maddison scored for them and my journey back North was much worse. We had seen lot of pointless long balls pumped into their box with a hope for some mistake from their players. Today was much better. Yes many long passes too but we chased balls and played with energy and desire in the 2nd half..... Energy and desire against Norwich, how badly we missed things like that in the last few seasons. Gwion Edwards would have never been allowed to make that many runs with the balls or or attempts to take on their full-back under McCarthy. Yes it's a dig and can't refrain from doing so. We would have packed our midfield with defensive midfielders had he still been in charge in order to stop Norwich from playing. Today we may have lacked quality at times but we played differently like we mostly did against them throughout the years and that is certainly a pleasing aspect. Edwards our MOTM for his courage and constant desire to go forward. Pennington seemed so determined not to make any mistakes. Passing not so good but positioning fine. Skuse felt so sorry for him. One of out stand-out players prior to his injury and I can't slate him like I usually did during the previous era. I have seen positive signs yet again and desire to win the game rather than stop opposition from playing so convinced that good results will come. The main negative was failure to take our chances to kill the game off. Spence always seemed indecisive and prone to mistakes. Gerken it's clear to see that he hasn't played for a while. Gutted with the result. Pleased with having been there. Fit Emyr Huws would have made a difference today. | | | | |

Plenty to be happy about from today, 3 points would have been marvellous. Maybe up at Carrow Rd later this season? | | | |

Don't know what to make of that Walters chance. Will watch it back before making my mind up but I wonder if he could have back-heeled it or something. To be that far beyond the defence and not end up getting a shot away seemed wasteful but forgivable in the context of the game he played for us overall. | |

An emotional return of Jordan Rhodes for you. All these insults and jeers towards him so it will certainly have been a painful afternoon for you. | | | | Login to get fewer ads

I think a lot of the comments and jeers were stupid, yes. Rhodes didn't want to leave, he was sold by the idiot dark lord. Now, what did Gerken do wrong? | |

Rhodes didn't have to join Norwich - Jerome rejected us due to previous links after all. | |

Ooooooohhhhh !!!!!! A lot of comments and jeers were stupid towards the poor boy, eh? You always slobber over him and certainly painful afternoon for you. Did you need tissues? The boy never deserved the level of abuse from our fans did he? As for Gerken it's obvious you didn't see the match. He made a tentative reaction a few mins just before their equaliser. Needs more games to be confident. | | | |

You got an answer re Gerken and subsequently tell me to grow up. You're the gift that really keeps giving. | | | |

Good day at Portman Road despite not winning the match on 03:36 - Sep 3 with 2908 views | Benters2 | Great report as always Mach! I swear my ears are still ringing after the crowd noise yesterday! I haven’t heard a instant noise like that since seeing the Vulcan bomber at the Clacton-on-Sea air show! Sorry I missed your message I was with Broggs and Pikey Dave in the NS bar and he was going into one about something or other. For those moaning about you having a pop at St.Mick Mac well good on you mate,I’m glad he has gone! The football is much better to watch. You are also bang on about Rhodes he shouldn’t have gone to Norwich I booed him as I did the rest of the Norwich team. | | | |

He's gone and people need to get over it. The only people I see constantly bringing him up are people wanting to continue to bash him for reasons I can't quite fathom. It's just a bit sad really. | |

There are just two or three posters who haven’t come to terms with Mick’s departure. Everyone else, whether they were so called Mick “inners” or “outers” have moved on and are getting behind PH and what he is trying to do at the club. I don’t see why anyone feels the need to have a pop at a Mick who did a great job of saving us and getting us challenging again but whose time was ultimately up at the club. Let’s say we’ll pkayed yesterday without having to bring up Mick. | |

The grow up comment was for your stupid, infantile assertion that I slobber over Rhodes and might be upset, plus the assertion that I wasn't at the game. Rating a player and being annoyed when he was flogged for peanuts doesn't mean you're in love with him or get upset when people chant abuse. When you're an adult you'll understand these things. Gerken was absolutely fine and assured. There was no evidence that he hadn't played for a while. | |

Booing an opposition striker is a great idea. That's never come back to bite us. | |

It's the fact that everything Mach writes has a Mick dig in it somewhere. It's hilarious. The bloke should let it go. | |
