Not really.

Our record against them since returning to the Championship has been poor, but for a lot of that time, they have been a yo-yo team. I.e., their resources have been vastly greater than ours and so they've usually had a better team than us. You wouldn't expect a great record.

Until this season's fixture at Portman Road it was very much the other way around.

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

With Thomas coming back and assuming KKH is fit, which 2 drop out of the match day squad. Bidwell and Allen?

Norwich have won four of their last six matches.

This won't by any means be a pushover.

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

It was the turning point of our performance, I'd start with Bidwell in the side personally cos he showed true spirit last season.

You could make the argument that the best way to hold a lead is to win the game. With our defensive frailities and attacking capabilities, I'd hope Frank would go for the jugular every time.

Yang for his work rate and tracking back same with BTA plus he gives Wright the support he needs.

Can bring on the big guns at 60mins if needed

Esse BTA EMC
Wright

Rudoni still isn't back to his pre-injury self and needs some more time off. If BTA isn't fit to start, put Esse in the 10 and start Saka out wide for me

Gives us a million options off the bench if required too

Play the last XI with Thomas back in for Lati

It's not a must win, but if we did grab the 3 points, I think it would be absolutely massive

3 wins in a row, an away win at last, after a bit of a drought and a win against a bogey side

That would he such a huge boost to confidence and make us all believe we were going to go on an unbeaten and winning run again

Umm...so, yeah....on second thoughts...must win.

How do you know Yang's work rate and tracking back ability ?
And why would you drop our best performing player for him?

You can see opposition teams see him as a big threat, because they try and double and triple mark him.

If he's fit, he has to play I think.

I forgot to say Haji has starting scoring again and he goes on streaks of scoring loads.

I hope FL shows the team a video to remind them of the over the top shithousery that happened in the home game

One bit of good news though


Tom Bogert

@tombogert

Sources: After a heated meeting with Norwich City sporting director Ben Knapper and head coach Philip Clement... it appears that Josh Sargent has played his last game for the club. Sargent was seen visibly upset. One source says there was a comment made regarding Sargent's family which was the last straw. He continues to train with second team as he pushes for transfer to Toronto FC. TFC & Norwich continue negotiations.

Yeah, if he's up to it, he needs to start.
I know there's been question marks over him playing 3 games in a week but hopefully the extra couple of days help.

We're top of the league, 8 points clear of 3rd. Scored 61 goals and they have a minus 5 goal difference. They should be shitting there selves at the very thought of playing us. . We will win and win easy.

Since their new manager has come in they are a different proposition; look at their results. It will be a tough one.

I think this will be a struggle. Very miffed that it’s been turned into a Monday night kick off. I hate games on a Monday anyway, but it also gives the chance for other teams to put pressure on us plus night games away are much harder as the crowd will be up for it. Reckon it will go similar to our game away at Wrexham.

What we'll lose because we had 3 of our first choice back 4 unable to start?
