A great goal to win but it was about the only time we looked incisive.

Yes the result matters more than the performance but let’s not pretend it was a good performance, I think we had 2 shots on target, barely tested the keeper and any time we did break we were way too slow. It’s like someone just said, if that header had gone in everyone would be saying Potter was stupid for sitting on the lead like that. IMO that was the poorest we’ve played overall since the restart.
I say this as a Potter fan by the way and yes we got the job done but IMO it was a poor performance, solid defensively though as we have been recently, United game aside.

5 games to go and we haven’t imploded against our relegation rival when it REALLY mattered. I was sweating today but we have last season’s points total with games still to go

It was an average performance, disciplined and hardworking but hardly inspiring. Potter does not deserve excessive credit for today but he certainly does for how we have performed since lockdown and over the season. I am very happy to see the Progress.
Good result today. Performance was ok against a really poor side. Think it's a bit of a myth that Potter has got us playing well. We're good sometimes but we've been pretty dire at times this season too. Jury's out for me on whether GP will be the one to take us forward but I hope he is.

Yeah, but setting an expectation that we have to win games like that by playing better football is unnecessarily harsh on the team.
This was our only 6 pointer of the restart. Sertting the team up to be expansive would have been foolhardy.
We set up to contain Norwich. They had some half chances which they missed. Don't think Ryan made a save, worthy of the name.
Very few players played poorly, so I wouldn't have called it a poor performance.
Worth noting also that we scored a goal of absolute quality. Which we haven't managed in games where we have played much better football.
I’m on record here as being a fan of the Potter project and I’d have been ok sticking with him even if we go down.
In his first season in the Premier League, he looks set to keep us up.
It’s a very good achievement anyway, but to do so whilst changing the entire football philosophy of the club makes it a great one.
We’re a club on the up, we have a great young generation of players coming through, and we have a talented, forward thinking, intriguing English manager.
Fantastic appointment by Tony Bloom, and if we can progress further, next season will be very interesting indeed.

It' getting better all the time! - All we ould hope for really.
Definitely need a couple of players, for example, we would really suffer if Maupay got injured.

A great manager? sorry but that's totally laughable, especially when said just after a narrow victory against a very poor and doomed Norwaich side.
Yes ok, so we are almost certainly safe from the drop now, and maybe that alone should be classed as us having a suiccesful season, maintaing our Premier League place, but many posters are going way over the top here in their praise for our manager
.
I suppose you will expect us to earn a European place at the end of next season Spence?

I’m surprised by a bit of negativity about today. Obviously not a pretty game for the neutral but I thought we played it out perfectly from our point of view.
We limited them to one chance which obviously we had a bit of luck with, but playing away against a team desperate for the win, that is really impressive from us. That chance even came as a surprise to me as I didn’t really feel nervous throughout the match, I thought we were in control. We weren’t having to do the desperate last ditch defending of the end of last season for sure.
We looked like a strong, experienced premier league team against a naive side not really in our league.

Well that's the typical NSC poster for you, either they are black or they are white, very rarely a shade of grey.
