No, I just think away games in the evening are tough as that game proved. That said, I wouldn’t say our first pick defence is particularly strong at the moment.

Are we sneaking BTA on and hoping nobody notices?

Well you said it would go like the Wrexham away game which we lost mainly because we had MvE, Thomas and JDS not able to start.

To be honest, this is the best line up I’ve seen on the thread so far. Hopefully the officials can’t count.

If we're sneaking someone on, the least likely to be noticed would be Jay Dasilva, you would have thought.

Would have thought Thomas straight back in and then the same side as started v Millwall. Lampard usually sticks with a winning team although took a gamble starting Wright over Simms and was correct to do so.

If we’re in the hot coral kit we can just say he’s a training cone.
And I’m saying even with that I think it will be tough and my hunch is we’ll lose. Hope I’m wrong of course.

We have won as many away games in the evening as we have 'during the day'.
Yep. Still think evening games are harder especially if Ipswich and Boro win in the days before.

I'll be glad when KKH is fit again because I think MVE has looked tired in some of our recent games, which is hardly surprising given how many minutes he has played.
I'm not suggesting we start with KKH but it would be good if we have the option of substituting MVE around the hour mark if it suits the match situation.
A draw would be a decent result from this one.

We owe them for the most disgusting performance by an away team ever in Coventry.
We should give it back to them.

God I have only just remembered that - Usually I am of the opinion of you get what you deserve in football, but if we had lost that game it would have been an absolute travesty
You could tell from that game alone that Manning wouldn't be there long

Our's and Norwich's form has been remarkably similar over the last 11 game weeks. They have matched us exactly with the exception of GW25 (Jan 1st) which was a draw for us at Charlton whereas they beat QPR.
This has got Draw written all over it.

If BTA's fitness is up to it, and it's a big if, then he replaces Rudoni.
Failing that Rudoni is firmly told to stay more central and support Torp or Eccles more.
Prefer Torp to Eccles but it is not a deal breaker
EMC told to really go for it on the basis that he will be replaced by Yang after 60-70.
Saka to get the nod over Esse as he is better at tracking back to cover MVE but the usual substitution at 70 mins.
Thomas back in

We've just won 2 toughish home games on the bounce, addressing the "wheels are off" train of thought. Norwich despite having a recent up turn in form, are still amongst the worst performers at home and have infact lost their last 2 at home without scoring.
It's not a scary fixture, it's a winnable one with our squad reinforced, back to full strength, strikers back to scoring and fitness levels improving. If we can tighten up at the back a tad, the winning runs will return.

Not a chance this is an easy win. Hope I am wrong..watched them against Wrexham, they were excellent on the break. If we are as open as the last 2 games, we'll need a repeat of Boxing day 1977. 5 v 4

They are to us as fans, so desperate for this to all end in glory. Got to think (hope) that the manager, coaches and players are all a bit more level headed and rational about this.

Correct but current form my point still remains and I'm not sure I agree with yours about current form meaning nothing.
Anyway. Onwards and hopefully upwards!
