£3.40 parking at the Q-Park in Norwich City Centre after 3pm, 15/20 min walk from Carrow Rd if anyone is driving and unsure where to park

2-0 Goals from Wright and Torp , fancy us to get a penalty too

Some perspective is needed. In our recent ‘poor’ run we’ve only had 3 results which have dropped us below the points required.

Away draws at Birmingham and Ipswich would have been acceptable and the home defeat to Ipswich was down to tactical naivety and a bit of bad luck.

One away win every 3 games whilst maintaining the home form will see us in the top 2. I’m confident there will be at least 3 away wins with a few draws thrown in.

Didn’t realise Boro play Norwich on Saturday

 

[Freddie]

Big pressure on Wilson tonight.

 

[Otis]

Big pressure on Wilson tonight.

Yup. Those half-time oranges don't just cut themselves.

 

[alexccfc99]

I know most club specific forums are generally quite bullish about their own sides chances - But Norwich seem to be confident of a statement win tonight having had a flick through theirs

 

[shmmeee]

Think we lose tonight. It’s Norwich. Maybe cos it’s fucking miles away but we never do well there.

 

[quinn1971]

We’re not losing to a team in 20th, it’ll be tight but another 3 points,

 

[jto123]

With Ipswich losing I’m hoping the players will see this as an opportunity rather than a pressure game. I’m feeling a draw is likely.

 

[quinn1971]

Need to be a bit more positive, not 1 of they’re players gets into our team, just match them for effort and we’ll be fine, i did say it’ll be tight but hoping we score a few, 5-3 classic

 

[Para1140]

Big pressure on Wilson tonight.

Nah Wilson is out with a broken toe. Weve just done an emergency recall of Collins

Fuck it, whack Rudi in goal.

Madness. The last bit that is

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Fuck it, whack Rudi in goal.

That will work well with his poppin shoulder

 

[Tommo1993]

Fuck it, whack Rudi in goal.

Knowing him he’d probably be stood closer to the corner flag

A few people have mentioned they don't really care for this fixture and don't know much about their manager with his time with us. Firstly, I think it must be the age because I have always loved our games against Norwich and used to love the trip out there. We've had some memorable games including the great 5-4, which is still one of my favourites. Growing up in the 60s and 70s Bristol and Norwich were our equals and the games were always enjoyable. If I could choose any away game to go to it would be this one, but I'm working today, so can't go.
As for Clement, met him a few times and I was impressed with his feelings towards the club, not sure but I think he joined the old players club and has attended over the years, I yhink, not 100%, but he always speaks highly about us. He joined when having a foreigner was still seen as being exotic, as we had quite a few scottish lad in the club then. Will we be singing one of our own to him tonight?
Think it will be entertaining but we will be too strong for them - 2-0 to us.

All the best and fair play to everyone in the Sky Blue Army making their way to Norwick for this one. I was at last year's away fixture and enjoyed everything apart from the final four minutes!

Trying to go into this one feeling confident; 3-1 Cov win.

It’s a really good Away Day. I’ve seen wins and loses there over the years but enjoyed pre match and post match each time.

 

[edgy]

Wouldn't mind Tats getting the nod over Esse for this one though. Esse could be dynamite coming off the bench against tired legs for 20 mins. BTA too to add a spark towards the end of the game.

Wright to extend his goal run 3-1 Cov.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Remind them that if we beat them, that their rivals are consequently 11 points off the title

They’ve got half an eye on a playoff charge from what I can see.

 

[coop]

Not looking forward to watching tonight as we never beat Norwich even the home fixture we struggled when they were shit and cheating.Players should be well up for it could be a big gap again to 3rd place.

 

[Otis]

Disappointed they aren't aiming for automatics.

With 18 games to go, they only need to win about 14 of those to make the top 2.

In with a fabulous chance I think.

Our own charge to the playoffs last season looked pretty unlikely too in fairness. Guess we’ll see today how outlandish it is for them

 

[SkyBlueCharlie9]

I'd do the same and start Eccles and Torp. If it was at home I'd play BTA.

No way I'm dropping Wright after his last couple of performances. He looks like he could be about to click into that unplayable mode that he does every now and again. 6-8 games of that and promotion is done.

Really really hope so but I fear away from home he is more likely to turn in an inspid performance. Fear same with EMC.
We need to do everything to keep a clean sheet tonight.... but appreciate thats not our preffered style and Lampard prefers to focus on attack and getting goals.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

They've picked up some results recently, so let's hope they are complacent and we can smash them.

As others have said, big opportunity tonight to put an extra three points between us and Ipswich. A nice healthy 3 or 4 goal victory would be fine by me.

The players should be fully enthused after Ipswich slipping up.

It would 13/14 wins to make the play offs. Win every game to get top 2.

 

[stevefloyd]

Fuck it, whack Rudi in goal.

Nah he roams too much

 

[skybluecam]

[skybluelee]

Mustn't forget that Norwich are under pressure tonight too with Oxford, Portsmouth and West Brom all picking up points this weekend. Another home defeat will leave them 1 point above the drop zone.

 

[stevefloyd]

Had enough of tight games back to scoring aplenty please

 

[Otis]

It would 13/14 wins to make the play offs. Win every game to get top 2.

Oh yeah. Because they are so very brilliant, I counted it as 4 points for a win for them. Because they deserve it.

Yeah, 18 wins. But they are so magnificent, I think they might just do it

If that happens I’ll believe it’s deffo on, can Frank and the boys shatter another hoodoo like Swansea ? Fingers crossed.
Go on my Skyblue boys🩵
