Thanks Morty, enjoyed it on the telly box and then to see the highlights today, even better. Must say that I am enjoying seeing Sargent playing as a striker, only taken a year for coaching staff to realise that he is a striker, not a winger. So much energy and never giving up. Guys we've reintroduced to the side and newbies in are showing a completely different attitude. Pukki. Rashica, Cantwell all missing and I don't think they were missed foe a single minute

Comfortably the best performance of the season, that was so much more like it.
First half we always had control and were moving it around nicely but didn't seem to have that killer instinct about us, I was getting worried that this game was going to go the same as some of our other games recently, where we'd huff and puff but ultimately struggle to break the opposition down and then maybe go and concede a silly goal and that would be that. Second half though we really took it up a level. Much more purpose about the way we moved the ball, and once we took the lead we never looked like losing it.
Josh Sargent man, fair play he's really making me eat my words at the minute. I've spent the last year or so calling him a Donkey, but in that central striker role he's come into his own. He was brilliant yesterday. Even his first touch and first-time passing, which has been so poor so often over the course of his Norwich career, was generally really good, evidenced by the first goal where he showed some lovely link up with Sinani. Hopefully the longer run he gets in that position too the more and more confident he'll get.
A lot of great performances though. If it wasn't for Sargent then Omobamidele would've walked to man of the match, he was absolutely immense. I also thought Hanley next to him was very good for the first time this season too. Gibbs really built on his performance against Huddersfield and looked so tidy on the ball again. Covered the ground well in midfield too. Sinani is someone I think has real player of the season potential. You can feel his influence growing more and more on this team even in the last couple of games.
Will be interesting to see who plays in the cup on Tuesday and who can impress, but it does finally feel like we're beginning to show what we can do at this level. Let's hope there's plenty more to come.
