Sensible decision in my eyes. It's not a game we expect to win, so why not give the key players a breather?

The choice of Baka makes sense. The job is to chase and harry for 90 minutes. Hamer, less so. But is a 'park the bus' team though, which is what is needed.

I predict 75 minutes of frantic back to wall defending and then two late Norwich goals

Well we said it was a free hit, looks like Robins agrees. Would be delighted with a point based on that lineup.

Well that's a strange looking team. But unlike many I have faith in Robins and his thinking.

Plus Norwich's team is very weak (for them) - no Buendia, Pukki, Cantwell and Krul, arguably their four best players.

They've only named 6 subs too.

Making great noises about how they've named 5 youth team players in the squad, we have 4 without needing an injury crisis to do it.

With such a weakened Norwich side I would have expected we play our strongest team to get the 3 points. Funnily a better bet than playing a full strength Derby.

I thought people on here the other week were saying we should be attempting to win all games. To be throwing in the towel for some is a disgrace.

I remember back in the 80’s reading that Norwich were the club we were most similar too in terms of size (however you judge that). Fair to say that isn’t currently the case. But yes, great to back as peers with their ilk. SHFWR

I would say our mirror club is Southampton closely followed by Leicester and look were they both are in the leagues, there’s always hope.

Looks like a 'rest players for two more winnable games next week' team. Understandable I guess but it does feel a bit like we've thrown in the towel. Norwich are good but have injuries themselves.

But Wed was odd and we won that so have to wait and see.

Think it might be the box formation, but can't see goals in that starting line-up. Let's hope Baka is in one of his angry moods.

Whilst I’m surprised at the makeup of this squad, it’s also a given that with games coming thick and fast, there’s a necessity to switch things up more.

With Derby up next, I’d much rather us focus on a more winnable 6 pointer of a game.

MR will attain genius status if we get something with that side. A fresh Hamer, Walker makes sense for following games. No problem with it and gives Allen, Baka valuable game time. We're going to need the whole squad with the compressed fixture list.

I can see the thinking behind this team and I'm guessing it's going to be the return of the "box". I'm guessing he's hoping to bring on the likes of Hamer and Walker later on in the game.

But Dabo starting another game is surely a bit much. If he does another 90 mins today can we really expect him to be completely involved on Tuesday?

But yeah, let's remember we are allowed loads of subs and the second 45 mins is the most important one

We don't have anyone else to play RB except for the academy kids and Robins doesn't seem to want to give them a go.

Who says we've thrown the towel in?

There is no way Robins is throwing the towel in for any game.

Just a ridiculous over reaction.

If he wants to rest Walker and Hamer to keep them fresh for midweek he can do so without throwing the towel in for this game.

No manager goes out to lose a game, he's set up his side to counter attack today, with Tuesday also in mind... Kelly will sit infront of a centre half 3 providing cover, Baka used to chase and hold the ball up for the wing backs and ohare... Give it a bloody chance

Might get twatted might surprise you all... Weve a squad for a reason

It looks like MR is using this game to rest a few, and get minutes into others, we arnt even pretending to compete for a point.
0-2 and a very comfortable game for Narrwitch.
I'm so glad fans arnt splashing out to travel to watch this capitulation.
