Some decent players who played for both sides

Youssef Safri
Darren Huckerby
Sam McCallum

Kevin Drinkell

Elliott Ward, decent defender but guaranteed one horrendous moment in every game.

sounds familiar

Any reason as to why they have sent Edwards to do the press and not Frank?

 

[alexccfc99]

Don't matter - Just read why^

Great from Frank

Lampards with Jamie Allen at the funeral!

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

I would definitely have KKH on the bench because I think we need to give MVE a bit of a rest, probably taking him off around the 60 minutes mark. I think MVE hasn't been at his best lately and I reckon it's because he's tired. He has played a remarkable number of minutes for us since joining.

It's good to see we are virtually back to full strength now. Am I right in thinking that only Dovin is injured, whilst Allen is out for compassionate reasons? If so, that is a great position to be in.

Allen was back on the bench last week

 

[StrettoBoy]

Allen was back on the bench last week

I'd forgotten that

It's good to have him back. He's a very solid player who always gives his all for the club. I think too many on here underrate him.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Rushworth
MvE Thomas Kitching Dasilva
Grimes Eccles Torp
Esse Wright EMC

Wilson, Lati, KKH, Woolf, Rudoni, Sakamoto, Yang, BTA, Simms

Ordinarily I'd be going in to this reasonably confident of a good result.

But it's Norwich, away, on a weeknight. Only Preston would have worse omens. So expect it to be one of those games where most of the team have stinkers or it'll be like the home game where we'll batter them and somehow still not win.

Prove me wrong, boys.

 

[Offhegoes]

I always have a bad feeling when we go to Carrow Road, our record there is hopeless.

Back in the 80's/90's we had a great record against Norwich (Home & Away).

Would snap your hand off for a draw, They were very good against baggies albeit baggies were playing an attacking midfielder at wingback and just generally looked all over the place with players not aligned to the system the new fella wants them to play. Fisher looked good at full back, young lad, very good defensively, but the threats are Makama (huge striker, powerful) and ahmed out wide (both of whom who didn;t play against us in the reverse fixture). Mcclean when given time and space can keep it ticking similarly to what Grimes does for us. Really tough game. PUSB.

 

[JohnWH]

The amount of times I hear or read "would snap your hand off for a draw" you'd think none of us would have hands anymore!

(Not a personal dig at you @cov87! , you're top ace).

[curly_tom]

It does feel like one of those fixtures where we just never get the result. We are so far above them but it feels like their form is better than ours (even though we have won 2 in a row). I was sure we wouldn't beat Leicester and sure we would beat Millwall, I have always been crap at predicting results. I feel we have enough to beat them, just need to show up and try not to make those mistakes at the back. We have to remember that both Leicester and MIllwall are good on the break and have good attacking players, better than Norwich I think.

 

[mmttww]

Just go at them with power and pace early and try to blow them away. It's not like we're gonna Burnley our way out of the league. Smash 'em!

AgreedThey've scored less than a goal a game at home.Hit them hard from the off.
Enjoy the ride.

 

[Covcraig@bury]

We just need to fucking win, I don’t care if it’s just 1-0 or 4-0 just win (3-1) £10 🩵 or Lampard walks

 

[blunted]

What a signing he was.

Gould asked our centre halves who gave them the most trouble and they said Rosario. At centre forward he was pants. When switched to midfield was brilliant. Forest made an offer we couldn't refuse. Forest fans say he was rubbish.

Speaks volumes about Frank.

The amount of assists he had in our goals at his time with us was unreal.

Makama did come on a sub for Sargent

With 5 mins to go… and before he hit the form he has now…
