Few struggling by the sounds of it. 

Mcgree I was concerned would be long term but it doesn't seem like he will be given he's confirmed o brien will be out for a while but hasn't said anything about the length of his injury. I guess that's a positive to be taken from that.

over on the pink un the norwich fans seem to think they are pretty vulnerable to pacy counter attacks in particular. watch the clip of leeds 3rd goal, an ex player of ours is tracking back and seems to be going full pelt but cant keep up at all. adam forshaw i truly hope he's starting for them tomorrow. they wont get close to us in midfield if that's the best they have in there. 

norwich are a funny one, the young lad up front looks like a canny player and sara looks strong and dangerous. keep them quiet and we should be well on top of them in general play, hopefully enough to create and score a few goals. they concede 2 a game on average.

Yeah I was going to post the same thing, they seem to be echoing our form from earlier in the season in that the midfield is just getting bypassed at will and any forwards with pace is killing them. Seem to be pushing the fullbacks high with no defensive midfielder in to plug the gaps. 

I can see a few changes for this one, not for any reason other than keeping things fresh and keeping everybody ticking over. I Think VDB, Lath and possibly Rogers in for Smith, Coburn and Greenwood. Carrick has said Greenwood had a stop start pre-season and he didnt look quite as sharp on Saturday so might come out and reward Rogers. Smith injury dependant and I just feel Lath deserves a start as he's looked sharp coming on last few games.

1. What's your score prediction? 3-1 to the Boro

2. Dandelion and Burdock or Irn Bru? D&B, none of that carrot flavoured Scottish nonsense (they ruined it when they changed the recipe)

3. Coburn or Latte Lath? Lath for me, Coburn has done well the last few games but I'd like to see what we can do with a bit of pace up top now everyone else is getting in their rhythm

Another victory feels inevitable. We are the danger! 

 

1. What's your score prediction?

2-1 Boro. 

 

2. Dandelion and Burdock or Irn Bru?

Irn Bru if I had to pick. Who wants to drink weeds? 

 

3. Coburn or Latte Lath?

Latte lath to start I think. He's a real tricky customer. Coburg off the bench to bully defences late in the game.

I think our winning run will come to an end. Score draw.

2. Dandelion and Burdock or Irn Bru?

Irn Bru - but only the original 1902 version. The new low-sugar variant has a really nasty aftertaste that almost sucks the moisture out of your mouth. Most unpleasant.

3. Coburn or Latte Lath?

By all accounts, Coburn had a mare on Saturday, but I think he needs more than one bad game to be dropped. Give him an hour and put Lath on to traumatise Norwich's tired defenders.

As an aside, I am immensely grateful the loathsome international breaks are over for a while. I love Saturday-Tuesday-Saturday weeks, especially when the team is in form and us fans are feeling optimistic.
