 A lot better performance even better to see Hoolahan, Holt and martin hit the target to take their cumulative total of goals up to 60 as we dismissed the challenge of the visitors with a minimum of fuss. I am left wondering this morning, still, were we gods or were Yeovil one of the most ineffective teams to grace Carrow Road this season ?
I can't recall Forster having to make one single save in anger, we could have left the field with the score line doubled and it wouldn't have been an injustice, Holt missed perhaps one of the easiest chances he has had all season, he did the hard part of rounding defenders and keeper alike before shooting wide with the empty goal at his mercy. Lappin had a couple of terrific shots from out side the area in the second which the visiting keeper did well to save and hold onto respectivly. I took a quick look at the stats; we had a total of 18 shots with 12 of those being on target and 63% of play. With family connections in Yeovil I always cast an eye at their reports and follow how they are doing quite closely, but I have say I was disappointed in them yesterday, clubs of a similar ilk have been to Carrow Road this season and have put up a far better showing, displaying a lot more attacking notions and with a bigger fight in their bellies; on yesterday's showing I find it hard to believe that they held us for 3-3 draw on their patch.
Still we were looking to be getting back to our best again passing was crisper and more accurate, movement was far better finishing astill needs a little sharpening (Holty) MacNamee is on fire and at times looks unplayable ; great to have a winger who can cross the ball from both sides of the pitch. For me yesterday the Man of the Match was Korey Smith he was outstanding, when others looked to be dropping off the pace, he kept going and going; but no-one had a bad game at all.
With Leeds dropping even more points we strengthened our position at the top of the pile stretching the gap to 7 points and 9 points from third placed Charlton. Anyone fancy making a prediction at what game we will clinch Promotion ? See Our Poll on the Left |
