Nobody could get near Ali Ahmed
Successful dribbles: 25. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Pelle Mattsson in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Norwich City this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Norwich City supporters have found a favourite in Papa Amadou Diallo
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Papa Amadou Diallo has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Jovon Makama the difference as Norwich City beat Hull City
Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Jovon Makama. 2‑0 against Hull City, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Jovon Makama in the eights
A performance of 8.24 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

No hiding place for Ruairi McConville
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Ruairi McConville, and the manager let it.

A place in the month's best eleven for Harry Amass
Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Harry Amass has come out of that comparison in the side, and Norwich City have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.

Dylan Jones dropped after a run of poor form
The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Nothing got past Kellen Fisher
14 defensive actions and a clean sheet at the end of them. A defender's afternoon can only be told by what did not happen, which is why nobody makes a highlights package out of one and every manager in the division would take it.
