Nobody's doing that though are they? He's turned in plenty of bad performances. He's not a number 10 imo. With Shelvey out, we may have the opportunity to see what he can do from further back in the midfield.

Not really, we were dominant first half, then got tired second. Get a few players in and we should be okay. In other words, you agree. We dominated a Premiership side, 60% possession and 27 attempts to their 10, so not awful at all.

It just gets better.

Doesn't deserve a shirt based on what he gives to the team on a consistent basis. Prances around like a show pony and doesn't do half the work that Gayle does. The weakest link, in my opinion.

Good and lucky. Perfect.?

Sweet for Chris Hughton today spanking the club that sacked him. Brighton and us going up would be nice.

Leave it to Rafa. Just enjoy the ride.

I was right behind that pass in the East Stand and it was a thing of absolute beauty! Fantastic goal. Ipswich were the worst side I've seen at St James' this season and offered absolutely nothing Mitro's frustration at the end was amusing, barracking Ritchie for not playing him through at one stage, and the dejection he showed when his team mates wouldn't stick it in the box for him meant I could only feel sorry for him. If and when he gets a start, I reckon Rafa's man management of Mitro will lead to a quality performance. I hope that's tomorrow.

Not if he's played deeper.

With a bit more composure in and around the box could easily have had a couple of goals and a couple of assists. Promising start to his career here though. Oh, and didn't hear anyone near me slating him today, if anything admiring his pace and skills, and hoping that the end product will come.

I think Rafa knows more than you mate. Yes, mate, without doubt. Thanks for your input.

If teams don't start man marking him, he's certain to lead us back to the Premiership. Absolute class today.

He must have been itching to get on today, especially watching Gayle win his share of headers against their centre halves who didn't look great in the air. Obviously Rafa knows best, but Mitro must be getting very frustrated.

Even at 3-1 I was worried if they get next well just sit back and try and hold on. Still don't think we are getting the best from this squad. That's true. We made it far harder work than we should have today. The direction to try to shut the game down must come from Rafa, but we conceded possession and let them come onto us for the last 20 minutes instead of getting Mitro on for Pérez and taking the game to them.

How the fuck is this guy getting a game? We carried him for the vast majority of the game again today. I can forgive a player for being out of form, but I can't forgive a player who's not working as hard as he can for the team. Gayle must have ran twice as far as Pérez today, always willing to close their back 4 and goalkeeper, and he was even dropping into midfield leaving the lazy twat up front. Rafa's quoted as saying Pérez worked effectively between the lines, but that's not what I saw, or the majority of the crowd who were beginning to let him know about it during the last half hour.

Yeah, let's drop Gayle who got a hat trick in his last home game, and bring in Pérez who has not only been playing shite but, unforgivably, gave up covering his runner against Wolves and gave the ball away in his own final third which led directly to their second goal. Hopefully Rafa's made his mind up regarding Pérez by not including him in his last match day squad.

He couldn't trap a bag of sand. Can't remember a pro with a worse first touch.

Divin't be good, just be lucky, but he's good and lucky! Happy days.

Nah, I think we'll batter them. It's the Rafalution, don't you know!

I've no doubt, he will come good for us.

Tenacious little twat, and surprisingly good in the air. Keep it going lad.

Spot on. He doesn't play on the half turn at all, and would be much better bursting from the middle with the ball or making late runs to support.

Obviously carrying an ankle injury when he came out for 2nd half, and was afraid to put his foot in which led directly to their 2nd goal. Thought it was a bad call from Rafa and his staff, and could have cost us.

His total lack of touch and technique constantly put him under pressure. He is shite, and we must have a better alternative at left back in this squad.

What a fucking finish! We should have been out of sight in the first half hour, but poor finishing and shite defending almost cost us. Couldn't believe "fans" leaving when it went 3 -1, and even more disbelieving when "fans" left at 90 minutes with us pressing. So glad we finished like that and just rewards for Norwich's time wasting from early in first half. Main negative, Dummett is a poor excuse for a professional footballer and must be dropped.
