Norwich - when was the last time we beat them!?
Will be tough.
Despite the scoreline last night at Palace (reserve keeper was shite apparently) fans were impressed.- saying new gaffer seems to have them well coached.
New signing in midfield who was being raved about injured last night.
Could do with Sargent disappearing.

Sheaf being back could be huge - does MR have the balls to start him!?

Norwich will improve and finish top half. Great time to play them and we’ll be a couple of goals too good for them. 3.1 win and calmness on here.

Sorry all, I'm coming to this one and I haven't seen us win in my last 12 games. :-(

FWIW I'd go:

Dovin
MVE, Thomas, Kitching, DaSilva
Sheaf, Rudoni, Torp
Tats, Simms, Wright

Bassette to make an impact off the bench after 65 mins.

The game at home against these last season was bizarre, we completely outplayed them yet needed a freak own goal to even get a result - and after all Norwich's gamesmanship and time wasting the ref only added 4 mins on at the end

On that evidence if you'd have told me Norwich would have been a play off side come the end of the season I would have laughed at you

Can see another frustrating draw on Saturday

These lost comfortably at Oxford and we've all seen how shite Oxford are. I'd be expecting a home win.

Hoping for a win, got a horrible feeling it’ll be a loss or a draw. Can’t remember the last time I saw us beat Norwich.

I’d go:

Dovin
MvE Lats Kitching Dasilva
Eccles Rudoni
Saka Palmer Wright
Simms

Sheaf and Bassette on for Simms and Palmer on 60.

Always feels we have had a bit of fear of Norwich- they were the sort of team who had players and depth we could only dream of when we first came up and were usually miles better than us.
Now would argue our squad is as good or better than theirs for the first time in a generation.

Should be winning this if we have aspirations of finishing in the top 2.

Along with winning at Preston, beating Norwich is one of the four horsemen of the promotion apocalypse.....

Its getting ridiculous now, mate! If you listen to the VAR audio from Wembley you'll hear the panic that Lee from Weymouth was on the verge of seeing a Coventry win and that any such notion must be quashed immediately.

Someone is going to miss out of the squad on Saturday who would be a squad regular when fit.. Tavares and Collins already in the stands wonder who else joins them

One out of Allen, Palmer, Kitching, Eccles or Bassette,

Our first season back in the Championship, playing them felt like we were taking on Man City.

We have come a long way.

The last time I physically saw us beat Norwich, Chris Birchall scored a screamer which might well have been the only goal he actually scored for the club.

Can see it being Palmer. He offers something different, but played most of last night and he struggles with anymore than 60 mins anyway.

It's a 3pm kick-off mate. Ignore any talk of an early kick-off, that's fake news

Feel like Dasilva has earnt the chance to start but don’t think he will after playing 90 last night. CB is much of a muchness I don’t think there’s a lot in it at all between the 4 of them. I’d go Eccles alongside Sheaf as that’s when we’ve seen the best version of him.

Dovin
MVE Thomas Binks Bidwell
Eccles Sheaf
Sakamoto Rudoni Wright
Simms

Wilson
Kitching
Lati
Dasilva
Torp
Palmer
EMC
BTA
Bassette

Would he start Kitching and Binks together? Two left footers seems unlikely but I'm not convinced by Lati and Thomas is out of form currently.
