After the heady heights of midweek, Steve Bould's young side came back to down to earth with defeat at home to Norwich City.

The visitors doubled their lead shortly after the interval and it proved to be the winner as Sanchez Watt hit back two minutes from time. Unfortunately it was mere consolation.
