'Can't be happy with performances' - Fans react to City's West Brom draw

A lacklustre Norwich City side came from behind to earn a point against West Bromwich Albion at Carrow Road.

Sam Byram's fortuitous strike drew the Canaries level after Dara O'Shea had opened the scoring in the ninth minute, with potential record signing Gabriel Sara grazing the bar with his half-volley before the break.

Referee Thomas Bramall consulted his assistant referee to check Byram's goal, but it stood to allow Dean Smith's side to continue their seven-match unbeaten Championship run.

Hardly any shots on target, a point is fair and I will take it after a poor performance against another poor championship team. This league really seems lacking in ability this season. Luckily for us! #ncfc #canarycall

Did not understand the formation & tactics today. Player two players out wide when u know full well it doesn’t work and a CM who wouldn’t make a league 2 team atm #ncfc

That was up there with one of the worst Norwich performances on the ball I can remember and we have somehow drew. #ncfc

Our game plan, from what I could see, was to play balls over the top for Sargent and Pukki in behind.

When you have two CB’s who aren’t particularly great on the ball, and one who is abysmal, that doesn’t give you much of a chance. #NCFC

Genuinely one of the worst games I’ve seen for a long time. Didn’t deserve a point, no game plan at all is painful to watch! #ncfc

Hard to believe that was a game between two of this leagues supposedly “better” teams. Sums up this league tbh. #ncfc

McLean and Byram ruin any balance this team has. Hayden and Dimi needed ASAP! #ncfc

If you asked me for 4 points out of Wednesday and Saturday I would’ve took it #NCFC Surely #WBA fans can’t be happy with the manner of performances though?

Not too surprised by todays result. West Brom probably more street wise than most we've played this season. We've not really been playing that well, just the standard of the league allows us to get away that. If you can't win, don't lose. #ncfc

Points on the board, great. That’s all that ‘really’ matters. So onwards & upwards 👏🏼🔰

But, I’ve haven’t felt this disconnected and bored of this football club & the players in so long, it’s weird. I’ll continue to turn up and pay my money. But I really don’t care #ncfc

Gutted our winning streak has come to an end but great to see Sam Byram score 👏🏼👏🏼 I admit it wasn’t our best game today but rather take a point than go home with a loss #NCFC

We're are far less tactically sophisticated than in the previous two Championship seasons. Means it's harder to pick up 3 points when we're off it. Top 6 finishers but I'd be amazed if we get top 2. #NCFC #canarycall

Midfield is where the problem lies. Without Gibbs there is no one there who can control the play, too often we are caught in possession and too often we give the ball away in the middle of the park. McLean is SIMPLY NOT GOOD ENOUGH. #ncfc
