Could be a new face by Monday !!

Bottox? Or something more cosmetic surgery-ish?

It would be good to see Mini get some minutes at some point. He must be wondering why he came if he doesn't

Although our record there is poor, they can be beaten. If we can do what they almost did to us early in the season by trying to sneak a 1-0 win, I’ll be happy. Watched the WBA highlights and the Baggies missed many opportunities in the first half and caved in during the second half.

We need Tats and BTA to start so that we can take the game away from them. Who to drop besides Rudoni may be a question for FL. Thomas has to come back in.

I was convincing myself to strap in for a relegation scrap when we went to Carrow Rd this time last year and threw two goals and three points away in stoppage time... A year makes a lot of difference

Skyblueabo1111 · 2026-01-21T11:56:42+0000

I'd start with 5 at the back...bring Thomas into back 5, see how it develops.

BigMo'sCheekbone · 2026-01-21T12:01:45+0000

Apologies if this is the wrong place to post - I'm going with a friend to the Norwich game, but the Dad and lad we were going with have pulled out. I therefore have a spare adult and child ticket I'd be happy to sell on both heavily discounted. Do give me a shout if you know anyone interested or if there's a more suitable place to post this - thanks (or sorry, delete as applicable).

And drop our wingers/wide players ?

We seem to be getting overrun in recent games. Getting away with it, at the moment, going to bite us in the arse, big time soon.

Brighton Sky Blue · 2026-01-21T12:08:02+0000

4 points would be a good return next week. Norwich have lost their last two at home to be fair, but I'd definitely take a point.

Certain posters keep banging the same drum all season yet here we are top of the league !
Personally I think starting both Eccles and Torp in front of Grimes would help to stop us getting overrun
I don't think the solution is playing 5 at the back and dropping our wide players

I am only posting it, because it is happening. Leicester and Millwall could have been 3 ahead. Luckily they didn't take their chances. In fairness, I did say start 5 at back and "see how develops".. from memory, we did it at Portsmouth and won.

Bobby for Lati

Tats, BTA and Eccles on after 65.

Let's go!

You'll be lucky, Bobby Thomas is suspened for this fixture.
I think there is an outside chance BTA will start this one.

Hopefully it's BTAs redemption after failing to kill them off last season!

That’s his 3 games done - the cup match was included. So yep you are right he can play

Nah, Bobby is back now. Done his time.

SkyBluePower · 2026-01-21T12:37:04+0000

Will this be the first game this season when ALL our outfield players are fit and eligible for selection?
(Assume KKH is back)

Could have been 3 ahead is suggesting every chance goes in .. their XG was 1.17 ours was around 2.7

We created the better chances and deserved to win imo .. it was a tough game but we also have the luxury of the leagues best keeper

no_loyalty · 2026-01-21T12:54:36+0000

Defeat or draw at best, it’s Norwich away our bloody bogey ground.

alexccfc99 · 2026-01-21T12:54:49+0000

Any tips on parking for this one?

Never drove to Norwich myself only coach or train and from what I remember it is a City Centre based ground with not much scope to park

And the sole perpetrator is still here. Hopefully Thomas starts ahead of him now he’s back.

Not just about shots on goal Evo, is it? I was on about chances. They had plenty, as did Leicester.

These are like Preston, we never beat them, particularly away. They’re much better than their league position suggests. A draw would be excellent. And they still have to play Ipswich at home which could work for us.
