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.

And Tats gives more defensive cover too

We tend to turn up to these tough away games, and with Boro thumping 4 at the weekend, it is a vital game. Slightly concerned, as apart from 20 mins against Leicester we weren't great in either of the last 2 home games, and gifted plenty of chances to both Leicester & Millwall. Thomas HAS to come in for Lati, otherwise I'll leave it to Frank. Surely he & Edwards will be aware that we're looking vunerable on the counter attack and shall make the required tweaks.

It wasn't that bad. We dominated the whole of the 2nd half v Leicester, and the first 15 and last 25 against Millwall. In both matches the opposition couldn't cope with the energy and quality coming off the bench, lets see if Norwich fair any better.

I'm not so sure they will. It's just a by product of how they want us to play. It's been an obvious negative for a while now and we still have MVE and JDS caught up field in every game.

 

[quinn1971]

they’re only confident because they put 5 past a shit West Brom , we’ll Batter these, worst Norwich side in years. our records not great there but doubt we’ve played them when we’ve been this good and they’ve been 20th

 

[SonofErnie]

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

Winning on Sky on a Monday night counts for double points

Heading to the Skyblue Tavern tonight for the game, anyone know if it gets busy in there and if they serve food on match nights? Havnt been before

If they are serving food then it’s good fodder. Quirky place to watch the City match. I’m sure you’ll be fascinated with all the old historical stuff and all the familiar faces.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Getting nervous now. A win here would be properly massive

 

[oneofourown]

I have been watching alot of championship games recently and we are far better than most. Our off day is equal to most teams' decent game and if we turn up, which so far we have this season we will win this. We are nearly full strength and with our two most passionate player back, Asante and Thomas as the song goes, we'll fight till the game is won.

The food is excellent and they do serve food on match nights.

Always enjoyed the food until i found an extra bit of protein in the form of a snail in my side salad for the mixed grill, not been there since!

 

[CovFan]

You

You'll get to enter Dion Dublin's booth.

I turned up once and got told it was standing room only in the upstairs bit, which meant cramming in by the upstairs bar. Might be worth calling to see what the deal is tonight or booking a table if you haven't already.

 

[SleepyGinger]

Win would be monumental

 

[procdoc]

really nervous about this one. Record there is horrendous, they have hit form and defensively we are vulnerable

 

[Johhny Blue]

They look really good on the break, 7 goals in 2 games.

5 were against a Sunday league West Brom

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

really nervous about this one. Record their is horrendous, they have hit form and defensively we are vulnerable

We overcame a Millwall side in very good form themselves. Expecting a goal fest

true but we haven't won away for a while now.

 

[Johhny Blue]

It’s going to be really tough. Hoping MVE can contain their Canadian winger, Ahmed. Looks a real player. On the other hand, our left winger is also playing some of his best stuff. Let’s hope we can be ruthless with our chances

I mentioned Ahmed here as soon as he signed. Looks like a string of spaghetti but is hard to knock off the ball and will be a great player at championship level when he settles

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

true but we haven't won away for a while now.

We haven’t had an away game with something resembling a fully fit squad for a long while to be fair.

fair point. I'd like to see us look solid at the back in this one, against Brum we defended like bellends

 

[quinn1971]

They’ve lost the last 2 at home

 

[procdoc]

oh have they? Didn't realise. Is Sargent still refusing to play?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

We did, but that was a team properly on its last legs. I can tolerate occasional mistakes at the back, but we’ve lost control of games quite often which all comes back to the midfield not having the legs to cover ground.

That and Rudoni’s positioning is a real headache

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

oh have they? Didn't realise. Is Sargent still refusing to play?

He’s on strike to get a move to Toronto. They bid £15 mill, Norwich want £20 mill.

 

[JohnWH]

Manager or someone at staff allegedly made untoward comments concerning Sargent's family. I'd tell them to stuff it too, I'd be done. Family first.

In fairness the only source for any of that has been the player’s side. He’s been badly advised imo.

 

[skybluelee]

true but we haven't won away for a while now.

We looked knackered against Charlton and Birmingham.

The away game before that was at Southampton when they were in exceptional home form. We played them off the pitch until the sending off. Hoping we discover that first half away form tonight.

 

[covcity4life]

A win would be massive but...


..Take a draw!

 

[baldy]

Fuck it - Cov to win 3-0 tonight
The Polish International Simmski getting at least one

 

[CovFan]

I think it was because Sargent said he was homesick and the member of staff said "if you were that bothered about it you wouldn't have signed a contract with us in the first place".

Suppose I assumed something a bit more personal and mean spirited.
If it's a contract-related retort--and only that--not sure if I'm overly eager anymore

 

[CCFCMember]

Havent won away since 25 November against boro need to end that ASAP

 

[shepardo01]

Think he already has. Seen some Norwich fans saying he's the best winger in the league.
