Wright, Sakamoto and Wright in attack.

I like your thinking.

Wright playing wide left and wide right.

Saka as centre forward is also an interesting one.

I hope we see more of Bassette today, off the bench seems most likely. Massive test for us i think, feels like another lacklustre performance after yesterday's deadline could really damage the mood amongst the fans. We should have enough to beat these with or without Sheaf.

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

I thought we were a play-off side and they would be as well after that performance.

Fair enough regarding Saka.

I still think it’s asking a lot of Wright to expect him to play in two positions.

You're right. From the website:
Please note - Further testing is being undertaken on e-tickets to support efficient entry of supporters, meaning that they are not in use for this match.

That’s my take on it as well. Maybe it’s just Saturday morning nerves, wanting the players to click / at least entertain.

Big game today. Got to be beating Norwich at home if we serious about top 6.

It’s going to be unacceptable if we have the usual slow start to games this season again. Robins needs to have sorted it out.

Our best bet is home with the atmosphere and crowd backing the team.

What can they be actually testing? You buy a ticket, they send you the pdf, you scan the barcode to get in

That’s worked for years, the problems have largely been people bit being able to use the system rather than an actual problem with it

Actually you are a genius! It’s the answer to our midfield woes.

Play 4-3-3 with this midfield:

Sheaf - Rudoni - Sheaf

Some really daft statements on here already. Four games unbeaten, three wins including the great performance against Oxford in the league. All of this without our best player.
He may have spent £45 million on this squad but he has also lost £40 million plus worth of talent.
When you see Robin’s record over seven years, it just goes to show that managers, who ever they are and whatever they have done , will never do enough for some people to have just a bit of faith in them.
Hopefully King has a bit more common sense.

thinking on it, without palmer and sheaf out could we start a 4-4-2

Dolvin
MVE-Thomas-Binks-Bidwell
Tats - Eccles (playing deeper) - Rudoni- Wright
Bassate- Simms.

Seems stronger on paper and feel bassate could drop into a ten if we’re losing the midfield battle. Plus subs bench can have both Allen and torp if we need to rotate.

Win and it's a good start to the season. Lose and it's a poor start.

Think the issue is people trying to use their phones to scan rather than e-tickets themselves. Not having brightness turned right up is most common issue with that I think, as most apps that have tickets in auto turn brightness to full

Sheaf - Sheaf -Sheaf in midfield and push Rudoni further upfield.

Because a guy on a forum said he thinks we’ll play not to concede in the first half? I didn’t realise Pete knew our game plan so intimately hours before the game!
