A narrow defeat.  Good to rest the 4 top players for the playoffs.

Whatever happens a big job in the summer on that performance for me.

On that performance with 6 players out you're judging the summer activity on that one match?

Job done.  No players sent off, injured or spontaneously combusted.  Would have been nice to get a point or three but this side just didn't quite have enough against the champions.

Ho-hum.  Rather the unbeaten run ended today than over the course of the next three games. 

The right decision to rest the players we did and some of the other squad members to get some game time in their legs should they be needed in the next couple of weeks. 

I trust in Deano to do rather more than summon the ghost of Lambert's "we go again".   Still confident that we're going to go up.

Fucking hell, a team containing 4 regulars lose a tight game against the title winners.

Our better players rested, game time for fringe players who may be needed at some point in the play offs.

Shame we couldn't keep our unbeaten run going but looking forward to the play offs with Leeds and Albion hitting poor form.

Well yes. I think if we’re promoted the 3 in midfield wouldn’t be in a premiership squad or if we’re still in this league aren’t good enough to get us promoted. Whelan a year older, Hourihane just not good enough and Lansbury we’ve not seen enough off.

Similar could be said of the defence and forwards.

The wingers aren't up to much either. I wouldn't want Adomah or Green anywhere near a PL squad.

It's called the Premier League. Hourihane has been good enough in with Jack and John, how many goals and assists from Conor this season? They way you phrase it sounds like we played shit against a shit team.

I'm hearing that the presentation of the trophy is delayed while John Terry tries to find a Norwich kit that fits him.

One step at a time, we're in the championship as of now.
