Think first goal is imperative here (as it is in every game).

2-1 Boro I think, Norwich a different animal under Clement compared to Manning - but expect KH to have his number.

plus we are not facing them blind, there is matches out there the new manager has done for Kim to try and work them out from. So I see that as a benefit from just them blind sighting us with new tactics out of no where

How many extra fans do you think we will have? 8? 8 and half? 9? 9 and a half? Te teeeeell you what tell you what its 9 and a half thousand fans.

Hopefully Norwich have a heroic victory tomorrow night but comes at a cost as several first teamers get suspended after a melee at the end.

I'm thinking about how many Norwich fans will be driving up here in their bare feet having gorged on Toblerone.

sounds like a medium sized one

All Norwich’s threat tonight came down their left, maybe bring brittain back in for it or get him and Browne both on the right

Hopefully we can pick up 3 points to extend the gap to Ipswich. An extender if you will.

BANG!!! Blood dribbles down

Lampard was asked about it after. The interviewer asked how he felt about retrospective punishment. Could end up being a 3 game ban.

You can never predict how a game plays out but based on tonights performance and Norwich recent form, if they turn up like they have been then a draw would on Saturday would not be a bad result at all.

I know that might mean Coventry and Ipswich gaining on us but its unrealistic to expect us to win every game from now until end of season, especially when facing in form sides.

Like us, they won 4 and lost 2 of their last six in league. Like us they won they last 4 on bounce if including their fa cup win.

Hopefully its a case of “after the lord mayors show” for Norwich come Saturday.

Incredibly defeatist. Coventry have been one of the most wanked over teams ever and we’re sat 3 points behind them. When do we start giving ourselves some credit instead of thinking everyone else is better by default? A draw would not be a ‘good’ result, not terrible but I definately wouldn’t settle for a draw against a team 4 points off the bottom 3.

Don't mind your post taking a opposite view to me at all.

Yours is optimism. Mine is realism. I obviously hope optimism wins.

Its hardly unrealistic to expect a win versus any team at home when were fighting for a title, never mind one thats struggled for a big chunk of the season. Yes they're doing well at the moment, but weve been doing far far better far far longer.

Theres not a home game from now till the end of the season that we shouldn't expect a win from if we want to achieve our goals.

Mine isn’t realism because I think we can win? Not sure how that makes sense tbh

2.5 days more rest, recovery and preparation

A win and a striker link?

Is that too greedy?

Can’t wait for Morris to blast a thunder *** in and me scream he’s got a foot like a traction engine
