If you say that's anything more than a bottom.8 championship midfield you're kidding yourself

Any bottom 8 side would sell their kids for Torp

He has zero profile. No one's heard of him. He has done next to nothing here yet.
So no.

of course we could win without Sheaf but it makes it more difficult. The midfield 3 will have to play a lot better than any game so far this season

Why does Jack keep not being mentioned? Is he injured for Norwich?

He's not a CM really. Unless we play a flat 3 but Robins bums that 4231

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

Think they are being a bit ambitious with that. Perhaps they were expecting the usual Friday boost, but appears hardly a seat sold today. I didn't expect high demand for this game. £62 for adult and child for a televised game against meh opposition, lots of people won't pay that. I think in reality there are only 2-3 genuine cat A profile games this season.

Looks about right for me if Norwich have 2500 there.

However, it would have been sold out had they made this Cat B.

Think with palmer gone he will have to play a 4-3-3 we’ve got no other established CAMs

It was said all preseason that we wanted to play with a flatter three. Rudoni has shown every attribute to play as an 8

Maybe, but sales seem slow. Can't see many of these shifting. Even if 27K that's a good gate really, but with such a high ST base would be nice to sell a few more. As mentioned, these questionable cat A fixtures are a hard sell.

I'd stick Palmer up front, then try him in midfield for 30minutes or so, followed by a 2nd half stint in goal.

These moronic kick offs are going to put people off all season. 7 am start for us to get ready and get a bus over to Cov in time to grab a breakast and beer in town to then get a bus up to the CBS…Sky c*nts !
The club ( Mile Ashley ) say get there early

With our midfield we need to allow Rudoni and Saka more freedom to roam and pick up the ball from the likes of Eccles and Torp.
We have to get them in the game more.
I'll be surprised if Sheaf is played if he as any signs of injury.

Well assuming you are “abroad”, just use iFollow with a VPN, simple.

Not been a memorable day so far. Best player injured and 2 others shipped out.
Hopefully a win tomorrow brings up 5 unbeaten

All games are tough now. We have not really impressed so far with two one nillers in the Cup, a loss and a draw in the League. We thumped Oxford for 90 minutes in the League but relied on a lucky late goal to beat them. This one has draw written all over it.

Simms has to show something - he's been pretty poor so far.

Think you can do both but probably easier to do as e tickets when you go to buy and specify one or the other.

Back to football after the transfer deadline. Still think our attack can carry us through. Want to see us commit to the flat 4-3-3 with Dolvin, MVE, Thomas,Binks, Bidwell in Defence. Eccles, Rudoni and Torp in midfield. Wright, Sakamoto and Wright in attack. If sheaf if fit obviously he comes in. That’s still a good side, just need a sheaf understudy

I'm sure I read that no e tickets at present, Club printing tickets instead.

I think we will see Stormin’ Norman come off the bench for the last 20 or 30 minutes depending upon how the game is going.

I really like the look of him from what we saw against Oxford.
