Agreed - the most recent stuff has included them having Pukki, Cantwell, Aarons, etc, and although they do have some good players, their forward line has been affected by the absence of Sargeant and Barnes. Although we have the midfield issues, it's not the worst time to play them.

Robins has never beaten Norwich with any side that he has managed.

Their away form has been poor, they’ve got a lot of injuries, they’re shipping in goals.

We will lose 2-1 won’t we?

One things is for sure, recent years against these have been poor for us but at least the back to back wins have taken the pressure off. A draw suddenly looks quite respectable and a narrow defeat under the circumstances not a disaster.
Would like one of those sneaky unexpected City performances we have come to know and love though.

Yep. And just to rub salt in the wound it will probably be our best performance of the season!

Well, we don't have to play all of Sakamoto, Allen and Ayari from the start. It's making us look quite fragile defensively tbh...and certainly not a threat at corners if we throw DaSilva in as well!

5-4 may be on then(!)

Tbf, the middle looks very light weight but the CBs and strikers are all units.

Long ball to bypass the midfield, and get Allen and Ayari running into the box then(!)

“Ayari should start, he set up the goal.”

Any professional player should be able to skip past an opponent and have a shot. Championship is above his level.

That team looks decent to me; Thomas dropped and Sakamoto in is positive, as is giving Wright and Simms a go up front together (although I’m very surprised Godden has been dropped).

However, I’m not a fan of Kitching for Binks. The latter has looked really good, while in his (albeit limited) appearances so far Kitching has looked quite ponderous.

Feeling we’ll rid the Norwich curse today and get a result.

Really not sure that Sakamoto is going to cope with their wingers - it’s an odd one to play him there while Latibeaudiere is available, and we’re keeping Binks or Kitching out of the side to accommodate him.

He's not great defensively so Lati will have to be ready down that side. He could however give them plenty to think about going the other way and they have been shipping recently. Not payed them much attention tbh, from the bits I've seen it looks like Sara has been the pick of the bunch for them this season so Eccles will need to get on him.

I think that's about as good as it gets, given our extensive injury list.

I like the thought of starting with Tats and Simms/Wright up front. Tats needs to get forward as much as he can, with Lats covering his tracks defensively. That lineup carries an attacking threat if they get the service.

Tbf the idea of watching Saka on the wing with Simms and Wright up front in 20+ degree heat has got me genuinely excited for today

Anyway 0-3 Norwich
