Highlights since we last won there:

Watching them pass straight back past us after sending them down to L1

Selling Maddison not to Spurs for £7m , but to them for £3.5m and the loan back of his less talented twin.

Getting our first glimpse of the Mowbray/Slade dream team in a pre season friendly humping at Carrow Road.

Getting a second glimpse in a 6-1 thrashing at Carrow Road to their kids and reserves. 'Oh well, that's wasn't your first team was it? Oh...'.

Missing out on a last minute Biamou equaliser due to lockdown.

Giving it loads to the Barclay End after Fadz's screamer, only for Gavin Fucking Ward to rule it out half an hour later.

Finding a way to lose when a goal up with 30 min to play (cheers Kitch).

Finding a way to lose when a goal up with 30 seconds to play (cheers Lats and BTA).

Only drawing despite having 942 shots on goal, and their team doing a performance art recreation of the first day of the Battle of the Somme for the whole game.


MUST WIN

Given our recent form against Norwich and their vast improvement under Clement I have a really bad feeling about this.
Last season when we were minutes away from winning and conceded 2 goals in injury time was a killer.
If we're to get anything from this we need a performance like a few months ago when we were just ripping teams to shreds.
I think Boro will beat Preston who are in awful form but Sheffield United could trouble Ipswich.
It's not must win and a point would be ok given our goal difference we'd theoretically still be 4 points clear of Boro but it's getting tight now and reinforcements centrally and ideally left back are needed sharpish. There has to be cover for Grimes but it has to be someone with the same or better qualities and is hardworking and robust. I feel without additions in these areas we will eventually fall away.

We're nearly at full strength for the first time since about September with also the addition of Esse who is a class player. We just need to get minutes in for a couple of players. That’s been the difference of 1 point in 3 games then 6 points in 2 games.

We will have too much for them but we also did in the last game. They should have some confidence after their recent run and are at home so I can't see them parking the bus and time wasting for most of the game. It's time to remind everyone how good we are going forward. A minimum draw for me. Would say win but it's Norwich 🙄

According to an article on bbc Sargeant has fallen out with Norwich and has played his last game. Wants to go back to North America. Would be good if true.

They absolutely tore him to shreds that day, poor bloke looked on the verge of tears

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
I think that we are all put on this earth with a higher purpose.

Mine is to educate the world that the 5-4 against Norwich was NOT ON BOXING DAY!!!

Please repeat after me - it was played in December 27th having played at Villa the previous day (which was Boxing Day).

Same as our other famous boxing day victory, the 4-3 v Spurs.
Despite attending both games I have only become aware of the actual dates they took place in the last couple of years.

Remember last year when we were bang inform and travelling to Sheffield United.. everyone predicting us to win

They were far too good for us, just like we will be for Norwich
