Borja Baston seems to be scoring a few for Real Oviedo currently.

That performance reminded me of that humiliating sheffield united loss under smith.Lucky for smith pukki saved his bacon. He is pretty useless against 10 men for some reason.
It has all the hallmarks of the worst Smith performances, sub championship quality from Norwich with the perfect chance
I agree with you about that but my point was that we saw this kind of performance too many times under Dean, especially against 10 men - a real lack of intensity and players not moving the ball quickly enough.That was a huge chance for Norwich tonight but you'd never have guessed that from the performance.
How he fails to win so often v 10 men is pretty incredible though,Can think back to first season we came up and we drew 0-0 with West Ham at home when they had Zabaleta sent off after 65 minutes. Fair enough that can happen.Then next game we were 2-1 up at Arsenal who were down to 10 and lost 3-2 conceding twice in last 10 minutes.We then played Watford away over the xmas period. Were 1-0 down, think they had Doucoure sent off.....and they err scored twice in five minutes and won 3-0.Last season of course we couldn't even score v Sheffield United when they had someone sent off after 50 minutes. And tonight a different team couldn't beat a bottom of table side despite playing pretty much entire game v 10.I like DS. I thought it was time to go but wish him all the best and him keeping Norwich up would be arguably biggest achievement of his career.However most managers win ratio v 10 men is probably in 80 + %. DS must be below 50%, certainly in last 4-5 years so suggests some limitations to his managerial style as Norwich were largely terrible tonight.
