Not as much to do as in recent away trips, but when called into action he was back to his best. The highlight of his afternoon was a quick reaction when Elijah Adebayo flicked a header toward the near bottom corner and he got across to turn wide. Also got a minor touch to push Cauley Woodrow’s last minute effort onto the post.

With all the talk of lowering the age of the squad, a big shout out to one of the experienced lads, Shane Duffy. He's not always perfect on the ball, but when it comes to backs against the wall defending like today he really steps up. #ncfc

Another Marcelino Nunez strike was the difference as Norwich City scrapped to a 1-0 Championship victory over Luton Town at Kenilworth Road.

Marcelino Nunez's 73rd minute swinging strike from outside the box beat Thomas Kaminski to secure a New Year's Day win and make it seven points from nine over the festive period. Thorup gave his reaction to a hard-fought win, the opening of the transfer window and the latest on the FA probe in Borja Sainz.
