Saturday’s game was a big statement. A deserved win against Premier League yoyo club Norwich City, our first win over the Canaries since 2009, a continuation of our unbeaten run in 2023 and a brilliant atmosphere in the stands.
The turnaround since the home defeat to West Bromwich Albion on Boxing Day has been incredible. Nigel Pearson, his coaching team and above all else the players have to take credit for the turnaround, but credit also has to go to owner Steve Lansdown, Chairman Jon Lansdown, and former CEO Richard Gould.
They stuck by Pearson when there was a growing clamour for his sacking, there was seemingly never a question over his position and they allowed him to make changes in January, supporting him with the outgoings and incomings. The manager himself never gets carried away with a win in the same way as he never gets too downbeat with a defeat.
