Watching them here against Ipswich. They move the ball so quickly and appear to be quite adventurous with it too.

I fear a tonking next week

Why not 

We were unfortunate to lose at their place. Maybe luck will be on our side this time.   Hopefully we will stick with two up top and be a bit more direct. 

If we go 1 up top and sit back itll be too easy for them and end up 0-2 or 0-3.

No one gets a result at Bayern Munich in Europe 

Their fans are annoyingly happy, and nice. Really can't imagine supporting them even if I lived on carrow road.

The following season they had a League Cup quarter final on Burnden Park, it was back to the usual Norwich that night

They also lost 1-7 at home in their first ever tier 3 game (division 3!)

I see last night's defeat was their first away loss since August

Did last night's result just fuck us up 

I think you chaps will have to adopt the same tactic as you used to us chaps at home but try and have a little more quality (think the lad that came on second half should start for you out wide) in the balls out to your wide guys who need to break with pace and probably supported by two midfielders.... I think you will need a bank of 6 to protect your goal as they move the ball around very well on the floor.  No outstanding players bar the striker   but move the ball well and from side to side.

To be fair we tanked them in the first half and could have been more.. second half tired and substitutes aren't as good as the first team so they created more.....

 

Good luck for the game

That was a decade ago.

Their first third tier match was in 1920. JSL

Do you fancy being our next manager? 

I'm in for this. Hope the boys put in a decent showing.

There's a flaw in your plan.

Do you still need a ST to get on or will a match ticket do?

Still ST Iast time I went, but worth a try with home end tickets it wasn’t busy.

Just say a cheery "Hiya buddy." to the geezer on the door. He'll think you're a regular.

I'm fairly sure the little chap on the door was a fireman at Hindley. Think he started on the Reebok staff as a fire steward.

I'm not sure he'd get the reference. But go for it anyway.

Matthews

olkowski lowe wheater beevers noone

connolly vela Buckley

Donaldson magennis

 

difficult one.

trying to retain the same team shape but coping with the loss of O’Neil and Wilson and others being out.

little was poor in the back 3 away at Bristol in cup so might have to go with lowe

Lowe centre half ? Olkowski would be better and bring Little in at wing back. Keep Lowe in mf.

Buckley, Vela, Connelly would get mullered.

I fancy us to get at least a draw tomorrow, purely based on the game against them at Carrow Rd. We should've got something that game. COYWM.

He went to centre half towards end of the Birmingham match. Not sure how that went though.

i know what you mean but im sure every week we say the centre midfield would get mullered. Regardless of who is in there.

With 2 top id hope we’d rely less on midfield supporting and to some effect let magennis and Donaldson go at it themselves. Therefore allowing the midfield to sit.

True. I have been impressed with Lowe's versatility so maybe he could do a job there.

Lowe played quite a few times in the premier league at Blackburn as a centre half. They did end up relegated though so maybe that isn't a glowing reference
