My player ratings:

Vigouroux - 8
A few excellent stops, good distribution and a big part of the reason why we have one of the best defensive records in the division

Naughton - 8
A surprise at left back but he linked up superbly with Eom and Cooper and was a big part of all our positive attacking play in the first half. Subbed for Tymon after 70 mins but played like he was 25 rather than 35

Darling - 8
A rock at the back he won everything he had to and spread the play very well. This tempo definitely suits him

Cabango - 9
His best performance of the season, two defensive contributions in the 2nd half both were as good as scoring a goal. Can be immensely satisfied with his efforts today

Key - 8
Also had his best game of the season so far. Plenty of effort, good link up play and lots of defensive graft too.

Grimes - 8
The frustrations of his game so far this season have disappeared. He aimed to probe and play through the lines, only occasionally dropped in to defence to offer an out ball and did plenty of defensive work too.

Franco - 9
My man of the match. He robbed Norwich midfielders of the ball time and time again, some of his passes were sublime and I don't think there was a single piece of grass that he didn't cover. Incredible work today

Eom - 8
Busy and involved, his cute inside pass towards Cullen resulted in the own goal. His intricate passing and quick feet show why LW wants to play him as a ten rather than the wing.

Cooper - 8
I have been critical of him for much of the season but today he was excellent. Not so much a creative king pin as an absolute nuisance to the Norwich defenders with his relentless pressing. One opportunity sticks in my mind where he pressed and harried the right back for about 40 yards before robbing him of the ball near his own corner flag.

Ronald - 7
Blew hot and cold today. A ludicrous 60 yard back pass went straight to a Norwich attacker who was retreating and his ass was saved by Cabango. Plenty of hard work but we didn't really get to see his creative side today

Cullen - 7
Couldn't really influence the game today. Pressed loads but never really had a proper opportunity in front of goal. Will have to be satisfied with "defended solidly from the front" rather than any praise for his attacking play.

Been watching the Swans since the very late 1970s and running the Planet Swans website (in all its current and previous guises since the summer of 2001 As it stood JackArmy.net was right at the forefront of some of the activity against Tony Petty back in 2001, breaking many of the stories of the day as fans stood against the actions where the local media failed. Was involved with the Swans Supporters Trust from 2005, for the large part as Chairman before standing down in the summer of 2020.
