It was just Harry and I for this one as Tom cried off sick at the last-minute. Leo Castledine was missing too, maybe with sickness, maybe an injury. On the other hand, Riley McGree made a welcome return to the side. McGree made a difference. He usually does and he combined well with Hackney, creating the opportunity for the skipper to put the ball into the top corner from distance.
There were plenty of other chances, many of them created from slick passing moves. If only we had a lethal finisher to get on the end of them. There was a brief appearance from new signing Jeremy Sarmiento, who may well end up to be a Marco Branco or Gaston Ramirez type signing, who plays a big part in getting us over the line. He was popular with the crowd and his name was sung before he had even entered the pitch. I’m not too sure and my first impression was that of a ‘ten-bob Tuncay’. Time will tell.
The atmosphere kicked up a notch when news came through that both Coventry and Ipswich had fallen behind. Norwich finished strongly, but the addition of Dael Fry at the back and some focused defending sealed the win. That’s five in a row and the three points took us level with Coventry on points at the top. It seems as if the momentum is with us.
