He’s played 2 (180 mins)

Robins said he was knackered last Friday and didn’t even name him in the squad. He then played 90 mins Tuesday and looked leggy in my opinion.

Obviously the club will have all the data and his feedback but I’d be very surprised if that isn’t all saying he’s fatigued.

No let's just play him. Fatso obviously knows much more than the management team about the players' fitness.

Surely Kelly doesn’t start - it would be a backwards step. Keep him as the guy you bring on from 70 onwards to sure things up if need be.

Latibeaudiere wasn’t too convincing against Bristol City but he’ll improve and atleast be comfortable receiving the ball (if Torp isn’t ready)

Kelly will be back in the squad but there’s a reason he hasn’t been in the team previously

Yes that reason was injury and Sheaf and Eccles form.

Surely Kelly starts ahead of Latibeaudiere in midfield. Was our best player in some of the matches earlier in the season and great in the run in last season. Latibeaudiere is only an emergency midfielder in my view but a good central defender.

He’s good when we’re not in possession - as soon as we have it that’s when I worry.

I get the feeling Kelly is firmly at the back of the queue now and will only be used in emergencies.

If MR doesn't want to start with Torp just yet I would prefer Kelly over Lati in midfield. While Lati can undoubtedly do a defensive job in midfield, he is fairly limited in terms of being an attacking option. Kelly's performances when he came in for Sheaf after he got injured at the end of last season to see us through to the play offs were outstanding all things considered, and I would feel much more comfortable with him ahead of Lati.

Is this the sort of game that Allen is thrown back in? Him Torp and Eccles try and pack the middle out a bit. May be Lati instead of Allen.

We often set ourselves up a little different for the tougher away games. Don’t think it will be the team we expect.

Going to be a real threat to our unbeaten run I think. Surely we won’t start Godden again, I love Matty but he doesn’t worry the opposition enough. It has to be Simms for me now. He’s not the best either but his physical prescence seems to intimidate defenders.

Looking at our away form and looking at Norwich’s home form, the betting man would wager this is a dead certain draw.

I’m not a gambler, and I’ve woke up feeling positive and think we’ll turn these over. 2-1.

Not the best record against Norwich. Can't see a draw, let alone a win.

Germans tend to say things to the point, the nuances don't exist as much in their language as ours so they don't translate very well.

Personally I think we're a big club for the Championship, but maybe compared to money clubs who have recently been in the PL we are punching above our weight and have been for a little while.

In France many don't understand irony or what we consider a wind up. We can be in our local bar and suddenly the brits find something very funny. The French look puzzled.

But I know I'm missing something going the other way when they find something hilarious and us Brits struggle to understand the joke. And it happens in either language.

Did we get a draw at Norwich in the lockdown season? I seem to remember Biamou scoring.

We need to install Wright, Simms and Torp from the start today for Palmer, Godden and Sheaf.

In the days before the premier league and the squad's of only about 15 first team players and only 2 subs, player's in teams like Liverpool, Arsenal, and Man United would play 60 game's a season, winning all the trophies, they never got fatigued.

The game is a lot quicker now I think but you can balance it with the leg sappiing pitches back then

Hopefully wright and Simms start.

A draw would be a very good point away to a rival.

It's all about 5th and 6th so Leeds did us a favour beating Bristol. Let's just take it one game at a time and see if some playoff contenders fall by the wayside.

Which is what will happen. Happens each year. They will have to play each other as well as the top sides. Then you have the sides near the bottom playing for their survival.

Yes, think it was our best chance ever to get something - if I recall,they had most of their (or something like that) first choice/ key players missing.

I'm guessing Torp and Eccles in the middle, Allen playing AM with O'Hare on the left.
