What an opportunity to go 11 points clear of 3rd. That would be huge at this stage of the season and what better team talk for FL to have, other than said opportunity and how they can take any pressure off and create some real distance again.

Be okay with a draw, but really think we can win this.

Need to shake off the nerves and expect at least 1 win from next 2. We are better than both. Then beat Oxford and Boro

Im in 2 minds. I would be tempted by a back 5. Im not sure Kitch.&Thomas as a back two and our forwards Wright, EMC and Saka have been anywhere near as effective away from home, the last few games, and not sure we can risk playing a really attacking line up at CR.
Alternatively, and depending on how good Norwich's defence is, we could have a go with our home attacking line up try and get a couple of goals, but if we went 1-0 down go more defensive to stop a 2nd, and then go for it last half hour fir a draw.
Convinced Lampard and the coaching staff will get it right.

They look really good on the break, 7 goals in 2 games.

Thomas is still carrying a calf injury. We don't know if he will be fit for tomorrow but if there's any doubt he should be left out. The bonus is he would have been out without getting the 3 game ban.

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.

Recent for tells a very different tale...

I'm hoping Frank channels his inner Fergie and plays a solid midfield for this.

No, I just think away games in the evening are tough as that game proved. That said, I wouldn’t say our first pick defence is particularly strong at the moment.
Click to expand...
I think the defence is OK, it's in midfield we look short, untracked runners from the middle of the park have been causing havoc.

If BTA's fitness is up to it, and it's a big if, then he replaces Rudoni.

Failing that Rudoni is firmly told to stay more central and support Torp or Eccles more.

Prefer Torp to Eccles but it is not a deal breaker

EMC told to really go for it on the basis that he will be replaced by Yang after 60-70.

Saka to get the nod over Esse as he is better at tracking back to cover MVE but the usual substitution at 70 mins.

Thomas back in
Click to expand...
Rudi could do well as an 8. If he plays he has to operate in the middle and keep the ball moving.

We will win never been more confident. The Ipswich result yesterday is a massive opportunity and they will all be clear. Also 3 points doesn’t help Norwich closest rivals

Well that's us fucked as all of our defender's are up the pitch with the forwards and are slow as fuck apart from MVE even though he looks like he has lost pace also when he gets beat doesn't seem to work his arse off to challenge again,happened a few times against Millwall.

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

Bogey jinx aside they have lost 14 games this season and -5 GD. We are better than these in every way. We just need to turn up, fight and take our chances.

Ipswich losing has given us that extra buzz of knowing an 11 point gap is achievable. Shuts them entitled pricks up and the other fan bases saying we’ll bottle it.

We have nothing to fear from Norwich footballing wise.

I'd go 5 at the back, to start with.

Yup and we should never, ever, ever, be scared of a team that plays in yellow.

C'mon City. Break the hoodoo, bag the three points.

First goal is important. They score first it gives them confidence they can beat us and continue their performance under the new manager. We score it knocks them down a peg from their 5-0 win over the baggies and the crowd will start doubting them

He couldn’t quite get Preston over the line, but we did beat them at home, so I’ll give him that.
