"Up until their first goal I thought we were doing OK, and I thought there should have been a free kick for a foul on Simeon Jackson in the build up to that goal.
"Burnley are a really good side as I've said before. They've just come down from the Premier League and a lot of their lads out there today were in the Premier, whereas a lot of ours are new to this level. But I've got to say their performance and attitude to the game was brilliant. To be fair they've been like that for me since day one, they really have.
"We always had that determination and it takes big players to turn it round at 2-0 down. I said to the lads at half time, whoever gets the next goal will have the ascendancy and so it turned out.
"Chrissy Martin I've always said is one of the best finishers at the club and he took his goal really well. People forget he's only 21 as well, it was a good finish.
"Andrew Crofts has played exceptionally well in the Championship, he really has. He gives you a bit of everything. He can do the tough stuff and he's adding goals to his game as well. He's becoming a top quality all round player."
Brian Laws was far from happy at the end after seeing a two goal lead disappear again, and he was rightly unhappy with the awarding of the second goal. "There is no maybe about it, it was hand ball," he fumed.
"Crofts got the ball, and Gordon Bennett. I saw the arm clearly stretched out and he has brought it back into his path and smashed it into the net. Maybe that's me clutching at straws and I have to give credit to Norwich because they really got at us.
"However, I've been in to see the referee, he's had a look at it on the DVD and stumbled through it by insisting it hit his chest and it wasn't hand ball. Well, it clearly is. You are hoping to get some honesty back, but we didn't and they have got an equaliser that leaves us dejected and disappointed."
Laws continued: "We should have been talking about all the good things today and I am delighted for Martin Paterson after putting him in. He will be feeling fantastic about himself and we should have won it for him, so I am angry and disappointed with the players because you couldn't get two more different performances. It went from the sublime to the ridiculous.
"Everything we did in the first half was full of purpose and we said at half time we would have to work harder because they would too. We didn't do the simple things though. We complicated things and got into a frame of mind where we started to get a little but panicky and in the end we caused all our own problems.
"They got their tails up and we were pressed deep. We had to stay calm with the ball though and I don't think we did that, which led to the second goal.
"Our away performances are better than what we are picking up in points. Today epitomised that. When you get a two goal lead away from home you expect to win it, but we can't seem to do that and yet I have so much experience in the side.
"They have been there, done it, and worn the t-shirt and we are looking to be professional and finish the job off. This is not something that has just started happening. It's embedded in there. It's been months and even seasons and we have to put it right or we are going to have to rely heavily on our home performances.
"People will say drawing away is a basis for success, but we are better than that and I expect better."
Despite dropping to ninth in the table, Laws insists his side remain capable of winning promotion. "You make your own pressures in life by setting high targets, and I want promotion," he said.
"That is my target and nobody has thrown that on my shoulders. I think we are good enough and the disappointing thing is we are nearly there, just not quite there yet.
"You are not going to win all your home games so you have to start picking up some wins away from home. We are more than good enough to go and win games away from home, as we have proved here.
"It will start preying on people's minds if we continue throwing games away like this. You can't keep throwing away two goal leads away following a performance that is as good as it has been. We have to do something about that and quickly, by working harder."
