I watched the game last night courtesy of "Wiziwig" and I have got to say I don't remember EVER seeing a better defending "performance", they were immense.
The two centre backs, at the moment are fantastic.......again, I can't remember a better pairing at the moment. I know I "might" be getting carried away BUT what a job we done on a very very good Norwich team.
It wasn't only our back four though, every single player played their part, what a great bit of business when we bought in TBH, AB, and Stephen Henderson.
I love Big Bobs reaction as well, he's got, it seems great passion and love for our club which is great.
To top the evening off my nephew (Millwall season ticket nutter) text me saying "You boys are on fire!!!
If Carling did Tuesday night's eh???

Just four goals in five games in September.
A failure to score more than one goal in seven of our last eight matches (and the exception was two goals at Brighton).
Apart from Igor, no player in open play in the League has scored more than a solitary goal.
Not trying to be the profit of doom but, if we really want to be serious as challengers for promotion, we have to find some extra creativity/goals from somewhere.
And as much as this is a very competitive League we have seen that there are no truly outstanding sides so, with just a little extra dimension here and there, we could be in the shake up at the end of the season.
Over to you RD. This is too good an opportunity to miss.
We finally look like a solid wall which won't concede in the final 5 minutes.
With people saying "give Church a go" or other outside 11 players. Not once have I seen the call for Morro to be put in ahead of Bikey or TBH.
Gomez has been unreal, sign him up!
I love watching Bikey make a block and then just get up and stomp into position. No fuss
TBH is as calm as you like - never seems overly flapped.
Wiggins is getting back to his best. He's come up against some really tricky opponents this year and we haven't lost a game. That says something.
Solly will get the better of his winger more often than not. Gomez is a more than able deputy and Wilson will always give you 100%
Henderson has surpassed all expectations I must say. He looks in really good shape - when he joined he didn't look anywhere near as "ripped" as he is now. His kicking isn't great but his positioning and shotstopping are very good at the moment (#Deeeeeaaaaaanooooo)
Most impressive thing is the defending as a unit. Last night there were 10 men behind the ball. It must be tough on Igor because he is working his arse off and feeding on scraps but his pace and strength mean the defenders don't get a moment's peace.
Unlike others, I am not wanting Roland to push the boat out, with the additon of a striker I am happy for this squad to challenge for top 10 this season and like Murray and Curbs build a Prem challenging squad over the next couple of seasons.
At the moment we're still in transition and should the likes of Vetokele.. Gudmundsson.. Gomez.. KAG all have good seasons in our sole Premier League year then I reckon we'd lose them in an instant (as if went up this year I do believe we'd come straight back down because of our small squad)
This says a lot for our set up, organisation and resolution.
The defenders clearly have confidence in him behind them and that allows them to get on with what is a very good job.
But agree with your point in principle.
