    We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Championship match between Norwich City and Burnley.

    Here are some of your comments:

    Norwich fans

    Canary Kid: Much better. Oddly enough, perhaps it comes with following Norwich, I wasn't feeling comfortable, even at 3-0. Burnley, very impressive going forward. They won't be winless for long.

    Mark: As much as I was happy with the 4-1 score line, if Burnley had scored (rather than hit the post) at the start of the second half and made it 3-2, it would've been interesting to see how Norwich would've reacted to that.

    However, the fast start (two up in five minutes) shocked Burnley and they never really recovered despite getting into the odd good attacking position. Top eight definitely possible if we keep our squad healthy. OTBC.

    Keith: That's better - hope Canaries will keep it up. Up The City!

    Burnley fans

    Andy: Shambles in defence and weak in midfield. Satpaev the only real positive in a team struggling for confidence. Edwards shouldn't be on the pitch until he gets his desire back - no commitment or energy. The manager needs to pick a side capable of competing and battling for the club. Too many players not giving 100%.

    Anthony: I expected Norwich to brush us aside, but not in the first five minutes, after which the game was over as a contest.

    No leadership in the club, both on and off the pitch and with many players who simply don't show any desire to stay or play, but just to see out lengthy, lucrative contracts. Achieving 50 points by the season end is no more than a dream.

    Graeme: Utterly abysmal. 60% of the possession and unable to do anything with it. Already in the relegation zone and absolutely no confidence that these players are capable of getting out of it.

    What do they do in training? The "forwards" obviously don't practice hitting the target. Desperately need several experienced strikers and preferably some decent defenders as well. Otherwise, it's hopeless.

    Heckingbottom: 'That one hurts, I'll be honest'

    Preston boss Paul Heckingbottom admitted the 1-0 defeat at Charlton was tough to take.

    Karlan Grant's goal was enough to give the Addicks the points.

    "That one hurts, I'll be honest. I felt we were in a really good place before the goal, controlling the game," Heckingbottom told BBC Radio Lancashire.

    "I would have liked to carry more threat, but we still had the best chances. And we should do better with the goal. We know that.

    "But they (Charlton) are willing the ball into the net, whether it's the centre-backs at set-plays or on the counter - a scruffy goal like that.

    "For all the control we had, we haven't got that killer instinct at the top end of the pitch at the minute. That's the difference. That's what's cost us today.

    "There were some good individual performances. It's not one of those where I'm coming off saying anyone's had a bad game.

    "Large parts of the performance were good. But like I've said many times, the game's about winning both boxes."
