It was quite an eventful night at Carrow Road on Tuesday when Norwich City beat Watford 4-2 at Carrow Road.

During the second half, supporters were shocked to see Canary winger Borja Sainz completely miscue a long-range back-pass to goalkeeper Angus Gunn.

Luckily for the Spaniard, Gunn was alert and headed the ball out to touch before falling over the advertising boards. The Scottish international wasn't hurt.

The BBC's Chris Goreham asked Gabriel Sara about the incident, with Sainz watching in the wings:

Norwich City head coach David Wagner has been speaking to the media ahead of the Canaries Championship game against Cardiff on Saturday (15.00 GMT).

Here are the key points:

• Winger Onel Hernandez is OK to play, he has recovered from a hamstring problem

• Striker Josh Sargent could miss the game though, he will be assessed on Friday. Wagner said they are being careful with him following his return from a long-term ankle injury

• Defender Shane Duffy will be out for two more weeks

• Jonathan Rowe does not need surgery but will be out for 'months' with his hamstring injury

• Wagner on his criticism of the fans following the Watford game: "I don't like to pay further attention to it, maybe the words I used were too strong. But the general message is what I wanted. This is the end of the story now"

• Wagner on Cardiff: "We know they are not on the best run and they have changed their shape. It's a super-competitive team though and this is a very difficult task"

Arsenal assistant manager Carlos Cuesta is a potential target for Norwich City in the summer.

The Spaniard is Mikel Arteta's number two but could be tempted into becoming manager at Carrow Road, with other Championship clubs also interested.

'David Wagner deserves more respect from the fans' - Your views

We asked for your views on David Wagner criticising fans who booed his substitutions during Tuesday's 4-2 win over Watford at Carrow Road.

Here are some of your thoughts:

Stewart - I would like a new manager. However, I think not everything Mr Wagner does is wrong. Clearly the fans didn't understand that Josh and Onel were struggling as they don't have all the info. Wagner is aiming for the playoffs so, rightly, he doesn't want to risk Josh being out at the end of the season when it really matters.

Jeff - I booed last night (Wagner, never the players) and I will happily admit that in hindsight I was wrong. It was an emotional reaction to perceived negativity from Wagner (exacerbated by the 2 points lost at QPR). Wagner had the right to respond but I worry he took it too far. Credit to the players for getting the win.

Steve - His views are valid, but he should have a tougher skin. Having a pop at fans never ends well.

Keiran - I get it, it’s nice to boo anything. But the fans weren’t aware of fitness issues at the time, so how are they supposed to know? Wagner could’ve just explained the subs and called for unity, instead he goes down the route of many at the club and takes a pointless pop at the fans that only enflames relations between the club and fans. Stupid mistake.

Joe - Wagner deserves more respect from the fans, especially on this positive run we’re on. He’s been poor a lot this season but the fans must back the team if we want to make the play offs.

Jonny - Totally agree with Wagner!

Mik - I fully support David Wagner’s comments after the match. As supporters, even if we don’t like the manager’s decision, we have to support the players. If it backfires then we can express our frustration at the end. Well done to the players for an excellent result!

Tim - Wagner had good reason to make his substitutions of Sargent and Hernandez on 55 mins. He needs to preserve the squad for the rest of the season and not push players past their limits. But some in the crowd are just itching to boo at any opportunity. It's a shame. The players clearly support the manager and so should we.

Richard - Has Wagner forgotten why the fans turned on Dean Smith? (Because he had a go at the fans). Fans pay their money (and providing it's not abusive) they are entitled to say what they want.

AJ - Fans deserve to be heard. Wagner may not agree with what was being said, but based upon the previous performance against QPR I think it’s justified. His comments reminded me of the AGM and what Delia had to say. I think this shows the division between the club and supporters.

Opinion: ‘These are funny old times to be a Norwich supporter’

These are funny old times to be a Norwich supporter. Funny as in bizarre. Not funny as in amusing because despite having snuck into the top six after Tuesday’s win over Watford, virtually no one at Carrow Road is smiling.

After last night’s game, David Wagner launched a broadside in the direction of some supporters and urged them to stay away from future games. Those in the firing line – let’s call them ‘The Unwelcome’ – were, according to Wagner, a “small group” who booed when he made a double substitution in the 56th minute.

As it transpired, the swapping of Josh Sargent and Onel Hernandez for Marcelino Nunez and Christian Fassnacht was not tactical but instead based on fitness issues, yet, to me at least, the unrest was less around the personnel changes and more about the tactical shift it appeared to signal. A similar change against QPR at the weekend saw City surrender the initiative and drop two points and that “small group” feared that history was repeating itself. No one was booing Fassnacht or Nunez.

But Wagner felt wronged and deserving, in his words, of “more respect”.

In this instance, he may have a point as City went on to win the game – and in the cold light of day it does seem a little odd to be booing when your team is winning – but it appears a lack of trust (and respect) between some supporters and Wagner has led to this bizarre stand-off.

In my opinion, Wagner is not alone in being part of the club's officialdom who resents parts of the Norwich City fanbase. In the recent past, ex-head coach Dean Smith, ex-sporting director Stuart Webber, and joint-owner Delia Smith have all taken very public potshots at various groups of supporters.

But in there here and now, the unease between club and supporter is palpable. Wins are not celebrated with the gusto and fervour of a club that is in with a realistic shout of a play-off spot. The place, by common footballing convention, should be bouncing but it isn’t. Where there should be excitement there is angst.

To try and describe the situation at Norwich to supporters of other clubs is nigh on impossible. It’s a feeling that’s unprecedented.

So, to summarise, we’re in the top six, on a decent run of form, and the play-offs are a possibility, yet Carrow Road feels largely joyless. And we have a joint-owner and head coach who have both been openly and vehemently critical of some City supporters, and the head coach has told the ones who are booing to stay away.

Such a weird situation.

I have no idea how this ends, but one thing’s for sure - the next couple of months are not going to be dull, even if the football is.

Dean Ashton's thoughts on David Wagner's criticism of fans

Former Norwich City striker Dean Ashton was BBC Radio Norfolk's expert summariser during the Canaries 4-2 win over Watford at Carrow Road.

Here's what Ashton had to say about head coach David Wagner's post-match comments on fans booing his substitutions:

"He's sticking to his guns, isn't he?

"You would normally say it doesn't tend to end well if you take on the supporters and question their support and how they should support their football club. But clearly that has really bothered him."

He continued, "I think he's trying hard to keep composed but you can tell it's really bothering him. The fact that he feels like he's not being respected by certain sections of the support, especially with the decisions that he has made with the substitutions.

"I can't really see this going away, if I'm honest."

• Norwich are unbeaten in their previous seven league matches at Carrow Road (Won 5 Drawn 2), and could win three in a row for the first time since their opening three games of the campaign

• Watford are unbeaten in their last seven league games on the road (W4 D3); they last went on a longer run in a single Championship season in April 2015 (9 games)

More of your views on Norwich City

Here's some more of your recent thoughts on the Canaries. On Tuesday they host Watford at Carrow Road:

Clive - Wagner made a big mistake of going negative too soon and we can’t play Barnes alone up front.

Vinny - Saturday didn’t go as planned and while some criticism towards Wagner is justified, the constant stream of negativity on social media is not helpful either. There just needs to be a little bit more balance in terms reacting to a bad result and levels of expectation. Watford are our bogey team so we need to get behind the boys on Tuesday.

John - The strange substitutions when we were leading changed the complexion of the match. I feel Barnes is better from the bench rather than starting. I would start Sara on the bench, he needs a wake up call, he's been below-par all season for me and especially recently. I'd love to see Sydney van Hooijdonk play a significant part against Watford too. See you at Carrow Road.

Norwich City head coach David Wagner has been speaking to the media ahead of the Canaries' game against Watford on Tuesday (19.45 GMT).

Here are some of the key points:

• Wagner confirmed Jonathan Rowe has a hamstring injury and will have a scan on Monday. He is definitely out of Tuesday's game against Watford

• The head coach said he has plenty of options in forward areas and is being careful with the workload put on Josh Sargent

• Defender Jack Stacey has recovered from illness and is fully fit. He almost missed the draw at QPR with a sickness bug

• Centre-back Grant Hanley played against QPR but Wagner says they are keeping an eye on him, the Scotsman has missed most of the season through injury

• Wagner said he's happy with the substitutions he made on Saturday in the QPR draw. Some fans criticised the head coach's game-management for that fixture

• On Sydney van Hooijdonk: Wagner said the club need to take their time with integrating him. "People need to calm down", he says

• On Watford: "After the away game (which Norwich lost) I am really looking forward to playing them again, they are a top team on the level of Leeds, Southampton and West Brom"

Your views on Norwich City's draw at QPR

We asked for your thoughts on the Canaries' draw at QPR, plus your feelings ahead of Tuesday's game at home to Watford.

Here's what you had to say:

Dale - I don't think they have any chance of the play-offs. The manager keeps making very strange team selections from week to week, he should know his first eleven by now.

Ian - Norwich should have won but straight after we scored, the manager went negative. Taking off Sargent was so wrong and where is the new man? Not playing!

Philip - Missing a killer instinct. Do they need an "on pitch" effective marshall of effort?

Karen - The substitutions seemed very odd, until the info that Jack Stacey had been ill was made. However, it would have been better to play someone who normally plays right back in that position, rather than playing Jacob Sørenson. He may have had to mostly play out of position, but not a good idea when he's had so little game time up to now.

Lennie - Another two points thrown away by inept decisions from Wagner. Ideally I’d like Wagner to succeed, but it’s becoming blatantly obvious that his time is up. Over to you Mr Knapper!

Ian - We managed to get back in front when Sargent scores. He's our main man. We then go and take him off, why go negative? Why bring in a new striker and not play him? We have a manager that just doesn’t know what to do.

Nigel - Substitutions cost us, trying to defend a single goal lead when we should have gone for a third goal.
