For the travelling faithful it was pretty obvious who they were missing at the stadium:mk Saturday afternoon as chance after chance went begging.
One Lee Barnard, who at last made his mark with Southampton at Norwich, it was only a matter of time, with his first goals for his new club, which handed the Canaries their first home defeat since that 7-0 setback against ColU on the opening day of the season.
That should get them in a good mood for our visit in midweek!
However, a pat on the back to Leed's Robert Snodgrass, whose 95th minute equaliser against the Seagulls made sure it wasn't an even worse afternoon for the Shrimpers than it ended up!
