Think we’ll see a change in formation tomorrow, lampards already mentioned their pitch isn’t the best, bit more direct maybe ? It does look shit

I highly recommend, if you’re subject to a bit of head loss, to manage your expectations of this game.

Based on current form, and the obvious revenge mission, think we will be very lucky to come away with a point.

If there is no discernible change to how we set up and it’s still gung-ho, I think we lose.

But I do think we then win the next 3 on the bounce. Let’s see shall we.

Does anyone feel that we barely get any tv coverage this season despite our league position ? It feels like we should be on the sky sports main channels more considering we’ve led the league for how many months now

It's like they don't want to give us any extra money, we've definitely been on more in the past, suppose we should be grateful though,less exposure to be studied by all and sundry.

I have absolutely no idea what to predict for today. Zero.

Depends how we come out of the blocks. It's all well and good saying we had the best chances on Monday, but it was clear that Norwich showed more hunger, fight and desire than we did and were very physical.

Looking at the lineup last week I really thought we would really had them under the cosh going forwards.

Started brightly, but as Sky quite rightly pointed out, we didn't have a single shot between the 6th and 37th min. With that lineup up, that shouldn't have been what happened.

Today though, I would like to see us a bit more conservative and a little less gung ho.

We need to show more passion and fight though for sure. Show that we want it more.

Anyway, no idea. Nothing would surprise me. Fine win, heavy loss, dull draw

We’ve got to turn it around at some point great chance today, Norwich was always going to be hard with our record against them, we’re def winning this one, think it’ll be a little formation tweak aswell, can’t play our football on that pitch, shocking for the championship

Hopefully the team that plays quick passing football through the midfield instead of fucking around going backwards and sideways just to lump it up to a loan forward who can't win a fucking header.

I know it should not be like that! The position we're in everyone should be scrapping for their future, even just to play a couple of games in the premier league at the end of the day just so they can say it "I'm a Premier league player!"

Pitch isn’t ideal for trying to play football, might have to go a bit more direct,

Trying to stay positive is harder and harder each week. Think a 2 0 cov win. This midfield openess really needed to be addressed this week if it hasn't we deserve what we get!

Our Saturday trips to town (never too sure what for) had to be timed so we’d end up by the tv shop on the slope up from Intershop in time for final scores.

One thing about this team is that it’s extremely versatile and we have proven that we can play in lots of different ways.

Whether or not we get the result is a different matter. 9 points from 4 games would be an excellent return though…

Can we expect a “Taxi for Lampard” thread from yourself should we fail to get a result here?

If I had to put a bet on this today I think I'd be backing the draw.

We could definitely do with a big performance today.

I am usually wrong but I occasionally get a feeling about a game and a result, today we win. It'll be a comfortable one. They'll be nervous after last time and that will play into it.

The swing of emotions result ot result seems more this season than ever. I am guilty of it too. We're either so delighted or absolutely disconsulate simply based on the last result. We won the two home games before Norwich. It was a bit of a crap game on Monday and we weren't actually very convincing for most of the game but that doesn't mean we won't ever win another game. QPR aren't that great and have injuries. We'll do them

It would be terrible if one of our fans had an irrational dislike of our manager when they're doing well!!

I sense a bit of despondency and negativity building. Why? We had two good wins before Norwich and we are top. Lampard and staff will tighten up a bit away from home and we’ll be fine. We’re not in a slump, we’re picking up points, we’re good to watch.
