Playing well and 1 up, well done Whits, scoring 2 in 2 is a good way to quieten the moaners.

Jerome could have a hat-trick by now, but 2-0 will do for now!

Wiziwig never seems to have a stream for midweek games unless they are televised, only weekend games.

Thankfully we have Reading on a Sunday, and then 6 Saturday games in a row.

At least I've been getting some use out of my Canaries Player subscription!

4-0, this is bloody brilliant, we're usually sh*t on Boxing Day..... How long before we can start talking about a title challenge again?

I know I've not really been tuned into football or wider global affairs for a while, but when the hell did Bolton sign Emile Heskey? Thought he'd retired and he must be nearly 40... he's just scored :wacko:

We have some ground to make up but carry on like this and it won't be long before we are back in the mixer.

5-0!

He is up front with gudjohnson(?) the former Chelsea and Barca striker....I can only assume Lennon has been watching ' the Premiership years'.

Good to see an immediate response after conceding

I know Millwall were poor, but that was a very emphatic performance today. I see a big improvement in individual players as well as the way they fit into the team (the Phelan factor?). As for the title challenge, I'll settle for getting back into the play-offs and then building from there.

Good performance today and should really have had more. Unfortunate to concede late on but still a good reply and momentum building.

Not a big fan of Bradley Johnson , but I have to give him credit as he is the best we have had on that left side and weighing in with goals. Whitaker also did well.

We just need to cut out the daft stuff across the back and keep the momentum up but over all a great result. Millwall I have to say we're absolutely awful!

Getting something against Reading and Bournemouth would be very positive signs indeed.

Cheers Dandy. A mix of awful errors and great finishing there.

I love the quality of BJ's shooting this season- that was particularly clinical for the 3rd

Well, for the second home game running we have won by 5 clear goals, and it could've so easily been double figures today. Jerome missed 2 absolute sitters, especially the second one which I genuinly laughed out loud at, we had 2 goals ruled out for offside, and how Hoolahan didn't score at the end I'll never know. Still, no complaints about a 6-1 win, just a shame other results didn't go our way. I personally thought Bradley Johnson deserved his man of the match, but thought that O'Neil was also excellent. I thought Adams got the line-up spot on as well. You have to wonder whether if Tettey had been injured whether Redmond would've featured, but that doesn't really matter.
 
Millwall were truly one of the worst teams I have ever seen at Carrow Road. And the tactics that Holloway employed were incredibly strange. They started off by just letting us have the ball, walk it into their half of the pitch and allow us to get close to their goal. David Forde as well made 2 absolute clangers for the first 2 goals, particularly the 2nd where he just have it straight to Jerome. Once it went to 2-0 though they began to put the pressure on us in our half, and closed our defenders down when they had the ball, which worked a little bit better. If they'd have started with this tactic then we certainly wouldn't of ended up running away with the game like we did. In the 2nd half they used this same tactic knowing they had to go and score in order to get back into the game, and therefore they played a high line and pressed very high. But this made it far too easy for us just to counter attack them, and all 4 of our second half goals came on the counter, and we could've had plenty more. After we went 3-0 up there was no real organisation at all throughout the Millwall team, and their left back was flying forward when they attacked, but no-one was covering him, and he didn't bother getting back either meaning that we had so much joy down our right hand side.
