I've ultimately decided

Camp
Dabo Hyam Fadz Osti Giles
Hamer Kelly Sheaf
Walker Max

Wilson, Pask, Thompson, Shipley, Allen, O'Hare, Jobello, Bapaga, Baka
​

With so many players out I'm more confident we can give them a good game if we have a go at it, but I still think they'll be pressing and we might need to go long occasionally and Max fighting for it is preferably to the skills of O'Hare etc from the start. Might also surprise them if we go out to attack.

Camp won’t be starting tomorrow judging by Robins interview. Said it Wilson’s jersey to lose now.

Camp will be in against Derby then

 

[speedie87]

What are practicalities of camp having covid tests etc to be able to join squad?

 

[Johhny Blue]

Should we loan them Sam McCallum?

 

[Gibbo]

I am certain that at the start of the season this one was marked down as a defeat, and it almost certainly still will be. But there are some things I'd like to see.

1. 3-5-2 formation Sheaf, Kelly and Hamer sitting in front a back three and then park the bus for 90 minutes.
2. In front of them Walker and Shipley to run their socks off for 65 minutes holding up attacks, to be replaced by O'Hara and one other (doesn't matter who) to do the same for the last quarter
3. Walk away with a 0-0

Regardless of formation changes, Robins appears to have briefed them to play much more conservatively. This is good, we have the worst goal difference in the division. We really needed those two clean sheets. And let's face it Cardiff would have been a goalless draw as well, had not their defensive blunder let Walker in. Hopefully the defensive tightness can continue.

Think he’s pulling a fast one about camp not playing

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

There is a possibility Camp had already been training with the team. The interest was first mooted a few weeks back

If Cov are like other clubs all players and staff are tested weekly. A friend who is a director of one of the smaller League 1 clubs tells me each test costs £200. They would test before signing I assume.

Plot twist Robins paid that striker to do Marosi’s face

I think he’s got to play Wilson tomorrow to be fair to the lad. However I can see him having a mare and it being his only game

This fixture I always think was the start of our terminal decline when we had the most horrific biased referee called Sarginson who should have been wearing yellow and green and he got Norwich over the line fortuitously 2-3. Nevertheless we always do well against Norwich and I reckon if we have a go rather than go through the motions we can get something out of the game.

 

[Grendel]

That's a bit worrying. I think McCallum has been great this season. Really underestimated player.

There is no recall clause is there?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

They have one in January

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

They have one in January

I can’t see a mention of it in both clubs press release

Do they?

Do they?

Their fans seemed to think so when it happened

Norwich City full-back Sam McCallum has returned to Championship side Coventry City on loan for the 2020-21 season.

McCallum signed for Norwich in January 2020, before ending the League One-winning campaign with Coventry.

For Norwich, McCallum featured in Daniel Farke’s 2020-21 pre-season preparations, and represented the Canaries in the Carabao Cup first round against Luton Town.


Everyone at Norwich City wishes Sam all the best for the season ahead.

That’s an opinion though from a fan it’s like a quote from Paxman as a valid source

Nah it’s a quote from a journo is it not? Tell you what G just text it in as a question to Clive tomorrow

Well it’s someone who seems to blog - I’m only going off the respective clubs press releases

Grendel, you’re an ex reporter from what I’ve been told. So what business is MR planning in jan?

He works for the Athletic think that’s trustworthy enough

The club didn’t say either way, it’s not usually relevant to the main piece of information. As I say if you’re that fixated on it send Clive a text

Not at Carrow road we don’t.

McCallum's loan this season may have been part of a re-negotiated payment schedule. MR said at the time that it came out of the blue, so he wasn't chasing him, and had already got Giles in for that position.

 

[johnwillomagic]

I actually hope and think Wilson deserves to start at least tomorrow -.....however can see Robins being ruthless and playing Camp we will see soon enough.

 

[Tommo1993]

Have I missed something? Why is Wilson such a bad option?

 

[kg82]

Blimey, their injury list is huge. This is the crocks derby then. Who do Norwich have, that’s fit, to play up top?

 

[LilleSkyBlue]

If you look at the league table it's like the longer team names have been shaken to the bottom and settled.

the highest number of goals conceded - Wycombe and Derby have worse goal differences

Sorry, I'm pissed like a scurvy hound
