THE key stats and moments from the match against Norwich.

BRIAN JENSEN: Another impressive display by the Beast, who made several crucial saves to keep the game alive. Just lost his radar from time to time with his huge kicks. 7

DEAN WEST: Defended stoutly before picking up a back injury that forced him out of the game for Lee Roche at half time. 7

DAVID MAY: Tower of strength again at the back in the most trying of circumstances, Crouch would be a handful for any defender, but the former Man Utd man coped admirably. STAR MAN. 8

ANDY TODD: Ditto for Todd until until his costly blunder let in Crouch for the crucial opening strike. The first goal was always looking decisive and his hunched shoulders at the end said it all. 6

MO CAMARA: Only the one rampaging run from the Guinean, who was forced onto the defensive by Norwich's one-dimensional up-and-at-em tactics. 6

LUKE CHADWICK: Not at his best by any means, although a few trademark runs did threaten to open up the Norwich defence as the game wore on. 6

TONY GRANT: Was never going to be easy against City's strong midfield pairing, but some neat touches showed he is not far off returning to his best. 6

GARETH FARRELLY: Game often passed over his head as City launched another aerial bombardment. Equalising chance went begging as his shot was agonisingly deflected wide. 6

ROBBIE BLAKE: Constantly probing for an opening without much success. Will be bitterly disappointed with his deliveries from dead ball situations. 6

GRAHAM BRANCH: Never fully settled on the left side of midfield and ended up doing far more defensive work than either he, or his charges would have wanted. 6

DELROY FACEY: Ploughed a lonely and unproductive furrow in attack until Burnley went gung-ho late on. Should have done better with first half shot. 6

Subs:

LEE ROCHE (for West 46): Second best to Huckerby. 6.

IAN MOORE (for Branch 64): Gave the side more of a cutting edge. 7.

Not used: ALAN MOORE, PAUL WELLER, RICHARD CHAPLOW.
