Norwich City 0-1 Southampton - the fans' verdict

[BBC] Southampton moved into the Championship play-off places with a 1-0 win at Norwich City on Wednesday night. For the Canaries it was a fourth successive defeat and leaves them outside the relegation zone on goal difference. Here is what some of the fans of both sides made of the game and their team's performance: Norwich City fans Peter - Looks like it is going to be a relegation battle. Far too many players walking around the field out of position. The players look lost and it's only going to get worse. Rob - Not going to name names but some players aren't putting in a shift each game. Defenders ball watching, forwards lacking quality and we miss Kenny McLean. If every player put in the same shift as Pelle Mattson we'd be OK. Edd - It's just tiny margins, that's all, and we keep slipping the wrong side at the moment but, give Philippe Clement time as we will regret letting him go. Just give it time, still very early in the season right now. Andy - Clement needs to get the team back to how they played last season. They are far better than they are playing now. Rob R - It's happening again like last season. Jas - Not sure what's happened to Norwich. Obviously the injury to Mohamed Toure is bad news, but I don't understand why Jovon Makama doesn't start, unless he's still unfit. Desperately need a win and some confidence back. Not feeling too optimistic. [Shutterstock] Southampton fans Stuart - Great win for Saints. We needed to improve our away performances and start picking up points to stay in contention for promotion. Jon - Not pretty with key players rested but what a great squad the club has assembled with hopefully still some young talent to come through. Daniel Peretz in goal and the defence look assured. Jeremy - Southampton are clearly outright promotion candidates. But for their four-point deduction they would be sitting in third place just three points off the current leaders. Rob B - An excellent three points earned with determination and hard work while maybe not hitting the heights this team is capable of. Tonda Eckert was brave in his team selection and the players responded. He really is very good at the wheel! Pete - We have a good blend of experienced and younger players and now look like a side that knows what it takes to be successful. Dreading promotion back to the Premier League, last time was easily the most demoralising season I can remember and my first game at The Dell was in 1967. Lee - Thought Zach Abbott, on loan from Nottingham Forest, made an excellent debut for Saints. Slotted right in to our back four, made some intelligent runs, looking entirely at home. Based on that performance I'd snap him up in a heartbeat.
