Nothing much to say other than this. If Town play like that week in, week out for the rest of the season they are in with a shot of making the playoffs at the end of the season. They made Norwich look poor (and to be honest, they couldn’t get going at all today). If we can just get Murphy and Sears scoring again, things will be even rosier. Really chuffed that Knudsen got his goal, he took that great. Gutted for Douglas that his goal was called offside when it clearly wasn’t. (See below Sky tweet for the freeze frame of his ‘offside’ goal).
Finally, Grant Ward deservedly got man of the match today. He had quite a game. Look at these stats…

Great collection of responses to yesterdays conversation about what points people are expecting from August results. All the replies can be seen by following through the link above.
Comes across as a down to earth young lad, bags of potential from the videos I’ve seen of him scoring for Rotherham and Chicago Fire. Hoping that he will get plenty of first team experience and bag some goals as well.
