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

Cos he maybe needs a rest?

Highlights since we last won there:

Watching them pass straight back past us after sending them down to L1

Selling Maddison not to Spurs for £7m , but to them for £3.5m and the loan back of his less talented twin.

Getting our first glimpse of the Mowbray/Slade dream team in a pre season friendly humping at Carrow Road.

Getting a second glimpse in a 6-1 thrashing at Carrow Road to their kids and reserves. 'Oh well, that's wasn't your first team was it? Oh...'.

Missing out on a last minute Biamou equaliser due to lockdown.

Giving it loads to the Barclay End after Fadz's screamer, only for Gavin Fucking Ward to rule it out half an hour later.

Finding a way to lose when a goal up with 30 min to play (cheers Kitch).

Finding a way to lose when a goal up with 30 seconds to play (cheers Lats and BTA).

Only drawing despite having 942 shots on goal, and their team doing a performance art recreation of the first day of the Battle of the Somme for the whole game.


MUST WIN

Grant what's his name, tremendous for them,Hoult?
Where did he Go?

 

[wingy]

We really owe them for this, to this day I still don't know how we only drew. First time I've seen two bookings for time wasting in the first half.

But punishment doesn't fit the crime,sin bin would be better, the penalty's always later which is no good for us,15mins,second player gets longer Say 30 mins.

Rushworth

van Ewijk - Thomas - Kitching - Dasilva

Torp - Grimes

Esse - BTA - EMC

Wright​

It’ll be a tough game as it always is for us at Carrow Road, can see us edging it with good use of our bench, Im going with a 2-0 victory for the Sky Blues with Wright and Sakamoto to score

Given our recent form against Norwich and their vast improvement under Clement I have a really bad feeling about this.
Last season when we were minutes away from winning and conceded 2 goals in injury time was a killer.
If we're to get anything from this we need a performance like a few months ago when we were just ripping teams to shreds.
I think Boro will beat Preston who are in awful form but Sheffield United could trouble Ipswich.
It's not must win and a point would be ok given our goal difference we'd theoretically still be 4 points clear of Boro but it's getting tight now and reinforcements centrally and ideally left back are needed sharpish. There has to be cover for Grimes but it has to be someone with the same or better qualities and is hardworking and robust. I feel without additions in these areas we will eventually fall away.

 

[Mcbean]

Clement owes us he was rubbish !

 

[long way home]

Same team as Millwall apart from Thomas in for Lats.

Could be a tough one to pick the bench if KKH is back fit as well.

 

[Lamps]

We're nearly at full strength for the first time since about September with also the addition of Esse who is a class player. We just need to get minutes in for a couple of players. That’s been the difference of 1 point in 3 games then 6 points in 2 games.

We will have too much for them but we also did in the last game. They should have some confidence after their recent run and are at home so I can't see them parking the bus and time wasting for most of the game. It's time to remind everyone how good we are going forward. A minimum draw for me. Would say win but it's Norwich

 

[Otis]

Best game I ever saw at HR

Yeah, definitely up there.

West Ham in the League Cup semi-final was a special night too

Love a 1-0 the other way round

 

[The Nomad]

Robert Rosario

What a signing he was.

 

[richnrg]

Big game this, the David Bell derby.

Should be a ding-dong battle

 

[Torquay Sky Blue]

Yeah, definitely up there.

West Ham in the League Cup semi-final was a special night too

Cov v Forest . Another 5-4 was pretty decent as well 90/91

According to an article on bbc Sargeant has fallen out with Norwich and has played his last game. Wants to go back to North America. Would be good if true.
