Wouldn't mind Tats getting the nod over Esse for this one though. Esse could be dynamite coming off the bench against tired legs for 20 mins. BTA too to add a spark towards the end of the game.

Wright to extend his goal run 3-1 Cov.

And Tats gives more defensive cover too

We tend to turn up to these tough away games, and with Boro thumping 4 at the weekend, it is a vital game. Slightly concerned, as apart from 20 mins against Leicester we weren't great in either of the last 2 home games, and gifted plenty of chances to both Leicester & Millwall. Thomas HAS to come in for Lati, otherwise I'll leave it to Frank. Surely he & Edwards will be aware that we're looking vunerable on the counter attack and shall make the required tweaks.

It wasn't that bad. We dominated the whole of the 2nd half v Leicester, and the first 15 and last 25 against Millwall. In both matches the opposition couldn't cope with the energy and quality coming off the bench, lets see if Norwich fair any better.

I'm not so sure they will. It's just a by product of how they want us to play. It's been an obvious negative for a while now and we still have MVE and JDS caught up field in every game.

Oh yeah. Because they are so very brilliant, I counted it as 4 points for a win for them. Because they deserve it.

Yeah, 18 wins. But they are so magnificent, I think they might just do it

If they are serving food then it’s good fodder. Quirky place to watch the City match. I’m sure you’ll be fascinated with all the old historical stuff and all the familiar faces.

I have been watching alot of championship games recently and we are far better than most. Our off day is equal to most teams' decent game and if we turn up, which so far we have this season we will win this. We are nearly full strength and with our two most passionate player back, Asante and Thomas as the song goes, we'll fight till the game is won.

Always enjoyed the food until i found an extra bit of protein in the form of a snail in my side salad for the mixed grill, not been there since!

I turned up once and got told it was standing room only in the upstairs bit, which meant cramming in by the upstairs bar. Might be worth calling to see what the deal is tonight or booking a table if you haven't already.

It’s going to be really tough. Hoping MVE can contain their Canadian winger, Ahmed. Looks a real player. On the other hand, our left winger is also playing some of his best stuff. Let’s hope we can be ruthless with our chances
Click to expand...
I mentioned Ahmed here as soon as he signed. Looks like a string of spaghetti but is hard to knock off the ball and will be a great player at championship level when he settles

We haven’t had an away game with something resembling a fully fit squad for a long while to be fair.

We did, but that was a team properly on its last legs. I can tolerate occasional mistakes at the back, but we’ve lost control of games quite often which all comes back to the midfield not having the legs to cover ground.

That and Rudoni’s positioning is a real headache

He’s on strike to get a move to Toronto. They bid £15 mill, Norwich want £20 mill.

Manager or someone at staff allegedly made untoward comments concerning Sargent's family. I'd tell them to stuff it too, I'd be done. Family first.

In fairness the only source for any of that has been the player’s side. He’s been badly advised imo.

We looked knackered against Charlton and Birmingham.

The away game before that was at Southampton when they were in exceptional home form. We played them off the pitch until the sending off. Hoping we discover that first half away form tonight.

I think it was because Sargent said he was homesick and the member of staff said "if you were that bothered about it you wouldn't have signed a contract with us in the first place".

Suppose I assumed something a bit more personal and mean spirited.
If it's a contract-related retort--and only that--not sure if I'm overly eager anymore

Think he already has. Seen some Norwich fans saying he's the best winger in the league.
