Anyone think we have deteriorated since promotion? I don't know what it is that has happened to us, I just think, in my eyes, the spark has gone since promotion.
The players stayed focussed for 42 games and achieved their goal . Hardly surprising that they don't feel quite so motivated now that the job is done.
I appreciate that some of the fans who have made the trip to Colchester might feel that they are being short-changed, but I'm sure most will accept that the players are allowed the ocasional off day.
Plus other teams have the edge and raise their game 20% (like Southampton) because they are playing the Champions. We'll play our football but the 'edge' is natually dulled.
I'm happy with bettering Norwich's total of last season. It also looks like (despite predictions?) this season will have taken a superior tally to last season for promotion.
