What will the crowd be for this ? I see Norwich have sold out and blocks 11 through to 23 have maybe a couple of hundred seats left . Blocks 25/26 only areas with a lot of unsold seats.

Norwich not sold out. They took a 2K allocation with Safe Standing still available.

Like I said, safe standing still available and they only took a 2K allocation not the full 3K.

Who would you start in the right instead of Sakamoto if you had to? I know he works well with MVE but I'm not sure he's done enough so far to be starting every game by default. A bit like Bidwell, but we know who he rotates with.

At home I'd stick with Saka but away he struggles to get in games. Not sure what the answer is though as EMC is much better when on the left but Wright needs to play and Asante seems to struggle out wide but looked much better when he was down the middle. I think MR will continue to change it about for a few more games until he gets the balance.

Assuming no major in’s/out’s, this is my preference for starting XI - I know not very probable (I.e. Sheaf and KP starting)

Not a fan of playing two so left footed cb’s and don’t believe Lati has done much wrong to merit losing the shirt. Binks has the other spot and don’t see this changing on Sat either.

Dovin
MVE, Lati, Binks, Bidwell
Sheaf, Rudoni
Saka, KP, Wright
Simms

Bench: Wilson, Thomas, Kitching, Eccles, BTA, Bass, EMC, Torp.

Bit harsh on JDS who I think has played well so far this season but plumping for some continuity, defensively.

Decent weather hopefully, crowd in buoyant mood and some optimism we’ll play well for a change against these - 2-0 win and 27,742 on the gate.

Two left footed CB's is a risk but I think they're the best two ATM. Thomas played ok Tue and if he needs to knock a few into the stands to get his confidence back so be it.

Midfield other option would be Eccles next to Sheaf and Rudoni more advanced, though more likely Sheaf will be on the bench.

Norwich seem to be another team we struggle with so 2-2 draw.

Robins will not put the two left-footed centre backs together. Why would he? He hasn’t done it before to my knowledge and he certainly won’t do it now that he has 2 decent options in each position.

28K expected. The club is normally spot on when they send out the estimate but there does look a lot of blue seats still.

Thomas

Da Silva
Eccles
Sheaf
Rudoni
Sakamoto
Bassette or BTA
Wright

I'd take Simms out, he's started the season poorly. He's touched the ball the least of all players who have appeared. Poor shooting and chance creation stats. It just isn't quite working for him at the moment.

Mostly full in the home areas, just the corporate and away end with gaps. It’s going to be a common theme with 12.30 and Friday evening kick offs.

Bold move by MR and co. moving Palmer on.

I'll miss watching him but I support the decision.

Here's hoping it means we've got an incoming!

Buzzing for tmrw. Pints & weed by 12? If I have to.

Fuck me. I posted that yesterday before news on KP move (or at least I’d heard it)

Apology accepted though, no worries…

Of course it's no must win, but it would make us all warm inside knowing it's 7 points from 4 and won both cup games against Championship opposition. 4 points doesn't have the same ummph.

Nothing major, hopefully be back after the international break but wont be involved tomorrow

I adore him, he's my favourite player and he oozes class

However, I think we should have got rid with hindsight, his injury record is fucking appalling

We can’t rely on him to the level we do and not have him fit half the season.

The right thing in hindsight i suppose is take £8m and buy 3 CMs in. But we can’t even get one, so would have been a risky strategy.

Can't get up the game now. I know ifollow isn't a thing anymore and it's Sky Sports Plus now, but anyone know if there are any ways of buying just a match pass for just this one match rather than having to get a whole month subscription?

He won't play more than 30 games this season. Can see it now.

He showed on Wednesday why he's so important but if people were genuinely considering £10m for him, we should have snapped up the offer.
