Really disappointed for Hogan to go off injured again.
The pass for Kodjias first goal was lovely and his turn and shot in the box was excellent.

Has anyone heard why he went off and the extent of his injury?

Hogan's first touch for the goal was excellent

The pass was an absolutely bog standard one for me though

Does anybody have a clue what the entrance music today was? Due to the crappy PA system all I could here was the word 'closer' being repeated.

The Jerome miss was a joy to behold. Even without the slight deflection it wasn't going in

Bruce said he took a knock to the ankle he damaged at Newcastle. Not thought to be too serious. However, we've had shocking luck with injuries this season.

That was Gabby and McCormack making their way to the ground.

He looked to be intimating to Bruce that it was his ankle after he had been subbed.

Frustrating day. Felt we suffered when Hogan went off as there was nobody close to Kodjia.

It was far to easy for them to play out. Hourihane and Lansbury were well off the pace. It was far too easy for them to pick up the recycled ball deeper inside our half. Their paceless back four was able to hold a ridiculously high line and we let that Tottenham oik Pritchard run the show.

That said, they only had one chance in the second half and Johnson was again quick to react. They could have had a couple of goals in the first half if Jerome wasn't terrible and Johnson didn't make a brilliant double save. Mind you, Hogan went close and one of Baker or Hourihane should have scored.

Ultimately we were comfortable letting them have most of the ball. It's becoming pleasingly routine this winning lark. We're difficult to breakdown and therefore difficult to beat. 6 clean sheets in 7 games is excellent going.

Got an earlier train for once so just got back in - 2-0 flattered us but like Derby a few weeks back you can have all the possession in the world and it means bugger all if you've no cutting edge. Defensively we were excellent, Hutton man of the match and Kodjia is just a predator. Adomah was skinning the Norwich left back all game but his final ball was pretty ball. Gary Gardner had a very dodgy last 15 mins indeed. All in all though, another enjoyable day made even better by the fact my son was in the programme so I've ended up coming home with six copies!

This isn't a very good division first and foremost. that we've won so many games recently whilst not playing well shows that the difference between the teams that go up and the rest is having a goalscorer. Keeping Kodjia fit is vital for us next season. Add one or two and we'll be right in the mixx.
