Look forward to seeing how it works. On paper much more attacking.

Looks like Allen Torp and Ohare in a midfield three, bold selection

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Love the attacking line up

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Clearly looking to get the ball up the pitch as quickly as possible but think that midfield pairing has its work cut out

 

[PVA]

Not convinced by Allen in CM. Hopefully he proves me wrong.

 

[TomRad85]

Allen and Torp will be interesting but it's a decent side for sure. Let's do this.

Very sexy team, that.

 

[skybluecam]

3-0 but to who Chris kamara?

 

[ptr]

Get behind them! Would love an early goal for Simms.

 

[MikeyMoo]

Well you've got to admit when you're wrong! Who said Eccles will be rested - good call!

I don't think anyone is but Robins has been saying Eccles is shattered tbf.

On the front foot. Love it.

Rowe confirmed out for Norwich, they aren't all that. We're getting something here.

The only slight worry there is,Allen in midfield he is not great at tackling so over to you Mr Torpedo

Yeah he needs a rest. Just looks a bit unbalanced with those two, we need a ball winner in there which if not Eccles has to be Lati (as poor as he was on Tues), or even Kelly.

Looks too lightweight for me, hope I'm wrong.

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Allen is the one confusing me, can only really be for Eccles or O'Hare and neither is ideal. Robins has suggested Eccles needs a rest but I'm guessing it's for O'Hare and we're going for a flatter 3 in midfield to try and stodge things up a bit? I'd put Simms up top as well, so guessing he'll go with

Collins
MvE Thomas Kitching Bidwell
Allen Torp Eccles
Saka Simms Wright

rather than

Collins
MvE Thomas Kitching Bidwell
Allen Torp
Saka O'Hare Wright
Simms

Turns out it was the 2nd one. Glad that Eccles is getting the rest he needs, having Allen and Torp as back up is miles better than we've had before.

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

Very sexy team, that.

Yes, but with Allen in there we're not one of the biggest teams in the division.

 

[procdoc]

That’s a very gung-ho lineup. We could win this or get absolutely walloped. Should be fun though!

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

Glad we're looking to be bold. About time teams were scared of us, rather than the other way around.

 

[HadjiChippo]

Simms, Haji, Torp, COH and Tatsu all starting. Let’s go city.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

First time in Norwich I broke up with someone who’s now a season ticket holder there.

Second time was that piss poor game last season.

Third time…

 

[djr8369]

Interesting line up

 

[Jamesimus]

Would have thought Cal will be playing in front of Allen and Torp and Allen largely in a defensive role?

No idea though. It’s a good team on paper but I will reserve judgement until 3 minutes into the game.

 

[mrtrench]

No defensive midfield?

 

[covcity4life]

Very attacking

 

[SkyblueTexan]

I like that starting 11.

 

[Jamesimus]

I can see that starting line up leaving us very vulnerable, but I am intrigued!

 

[Jamesimus]

No defensive midfield?

It will be Allen primarily…

The first time you went to see her was to break up with her?

Kevin Keegan and Ossie Ardiles school of management; we'll win 5-4.

There was immediate karma to be fair, my bags got stolen at Norwich station on my way back

 

[vow]

No defensive midfield?

My thoughts too, I believe we'll miss Eccles (never mind Sheaf) there big time....hope I'm wrong!

 

[fatso]

No let's just play him. Fatso obviously knows much more than the management team about the players' fitness.

So Sakamoto starts then. Suprise suprise.
I may not know a lot, but clearly I know a lot more than you!

Didn’t take it well by all accounts m8

I'm guessing she just didn't cut the mustard.
