Transfer window wasn't that bad

We had 2 months of silence for that.

Broken by the sound ofa stadium being purchased!

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Will there be a minutes silence?

What for?

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

I’d go unchanged from Oxford, we played brilliantly in the first half. BTA doesn’t deserve to be dropped and the team picks itself here on in. The only exception being Wolfenden who will probably come into the team over this next month.

 

[Hutch11]

Been debating
Would you prefer 5 points from the next 3 games and remain unbeaten or 6 pts having lost a game
Bear in mind it could be losing to lesser or the scabby bastards

 

[Viktor17]

Always take the points, 6/9 over 5/9.

I would play LW for thomas Saturday. Lesson for stupidity shown at Oxford, also sends message to team we are wanting to be relentless, no time for silly, avoidable, errors.

 

[Tommo1993]

There are people who’ve been fooled by that 7-1 freak scoreline who now think Norwich will be no problem at all. Conveniently forgetting that we ultimately were lucky to get a point at Oxford.

Birmingham fan’s wallets I think m8

 

[JSL]

This will be a tough match. Keeping Sargent out will be hard and we need to be on our A game

 

[ExmouthNeil]

Must win!!!

So does it mean a debutant in the CB department, I think you could argue that there's no better time to blood Woolfenden if he's a confident and trusty character?

 

[coop]

Sargent always scores against us so we will concede our normal 2 and hopefully score 3,but we haven't beaten these in ages.

We absolutely battered Oxford in the first half and most other days would have been out of sight by half time.

We also scored 5 away at Derby in a great attacker performance.

It'll be a tough game but it's just the QPR game that is reason to feel confident.

I wish Latibeaudiere was fit so we can bring him on to single-handedly lose us the game again.

At least they won't have Doyle clattering Sakamoto this year!

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

From what I’ve heard these lot got a decent attack (probably the second best striker in Sargent) but are vulnerable in defence.

Should be another high scoring game

 

[Tommo1993]

‘Rounds’ bugs me more than it should.

 

[curly_tom]

I think we should do ok tomorrow. I agree that we have had a decent start albeit against lower teams and this is the toughest one we've met so far. I doubt they're that great though. We should at least get a draw but I think we could sneak the win...

 

[Pezza]

I'm usually glass half empty but I fancy us to go and get a 2-0 win. We've had plenty of time to prep and players will be at it, especially at CBS. Looking at these next 3 games though, need 6 points for me, happy to lose one if we can win the other two!

 

[Ccfc_Addy]

God I'm looking forward to tomorrow. Haven't been able to make a match since opening day so it feels like it's been an age!

 

[quinn1971]

if we’re aiming for top 3 or 4 then need to be winning these games, they look decent side but we’re better, 3-1

 

[EalingSB]

‘Rounds’ bugs me more than it should.

Most annoying thing for me is the text being unreadable as it’s small and italicised. Could just be my eyesight, though.

Hardly got lucky at Oxford

Even though the xG was low we absolutely battered QPR

ex-Ipswich player lining up against Narrrwich?? yea baby, let's go !!

 

[HJones23]

Didn't realise how awful our record was against these - hopefully it's another bogey teams jinx over us put to bed come the end of the game.

It wasn't a freak scoreline. Some of the passing and movement in that first half was stunning. I'd rather we scored the majority of chances we create, than miss them (Like Oxford 1st half)

 

[ccfcricoh]

Good test - looking forward to it, and more positive than i normally am against these lot.

BTTS seems a nailed on bet!

"lucky to get a point at Oxford" is a bit of a stretch, they were lucky not to be about 4.0 down at HT

but agree this is comfortably our hardest game yet

 

[fernandopartridge]

 

[wingy]

They were, but what happened to us, I'm assuming everybody was affected by the news that Sheaf was going, even the manager who didn't use his until it late Into the game ,and the crowd responded to them.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Interesting comparing Wright and Sarjent's record in the Championship, very similar:

 

[Terry_dactyl]

I’ve seen Norwich vs Pompey this season. They weren’t amazing.
Got some big defenders, who were quite physical. They didn’t create much at all really but perhaps worryingly scored via a set pieces/a ball into the box.
Pompey missed a pen and absolutely battered them in the last 15 mins or so.

edit: worth saying the Pompey defending was non-existent for both their goals.

Points make prizes!

Hopefully Sargent has jet lag
