It's a measure of how far we have come as a club that we are about to get 27K+ for a league game in October and nobody is counting dots.

With us being so light in midfield today would definitely take a point, I would prefer Latts as DCM with Allen further forward.

3-1 Norwich

step to far for our stretched squad

but the boys have done very well the last 2 games and we’ll probably be 4 points off the top six with players to come back

just looks a fairly average side with weaknesses I think Norwich will exploit

still PUSB

If all these changes are confirmed it may just be rotation due to tiredness remember.

No point looking into it too much just yet. Let's see how we play

I agree, not sure anyone is being dropped as such. We've been begging to have enough quality players to do a bit of squad rotation when the fixtures start piling up and when our injured players are back I'm sure we'll see more of it.

Is Bobby T injured or just going to get dropped because he's been a little ropey?

Sounds like MVE may be on the bench?

Equally so having over 22k for a midweek game with virtually no away fans for a league game with nothing directly riding on it

Norwich are missing quite a few key players too …. Barnes , Sargent , Hanley among them

They’ve lost quite a few of their squad from last season , their starting line up against Swansea wasn’t particularly amazing

As much as I'm curious to see Simms and Wright together, not sure this is the game for it. Godden is easily our best pressing forward, and with that midfield, can't exactly see us dominating possession

100%, there’s no way that back line should have been changed if that is the case, Lati should either be playing RWB or CDM, I think Saka at RWB could be a real vulnerability. I just hope we give Simms and Wright good service as that seems so key as to how they play.

I’d love to see some long through balls across the ground being tried today rather than these “just kick it up field, anywhere will do” balls that we seem to resort to. Nothing wrong in having a go, if they don’t come off then fair enough, at least we’re making their defence work, but to resort to randomly kicking the ball up field and giving the possession back to the opposition just seems pointless.

Well that latter point happens because we’re too used to having 6 foot of pure Swedish muscle who could turn any random punt forward into a chance.

Think they will have too much experience for us today, especially in midfield. That Sara is a player as well.

Happy with a point but think we might be found out today.

Never understood ‘lost’. They didn’t walk in to the studio with that money. It’s a £32000 gain if anything!

Strange call that, especially with Thomas, who’s looked a bit shaky, staying in starting line up. Presume certain players maybe needed a breather
