Review:
We were taken apart by top-placed (and about to be promoted) Norwich tonight. We looked as bad as we have over the last few months and Grabban (again the captain for some reason) made zero difference.

Stats:
Due to Coronavirus regulations, the game was played behind closed doors and the official attendance was 0.
Following the collapse of Football Index, we had no shirt sponsor for this game
