Thought these were dreadful when we played them at home and we should have thrashed them - but looks like that draw in their derby game at Ipswich before Xmas has reinvigorated them somewhat

Not the really difficult match it was once billed as at Championship level but still a tough game nonetheless, draw

Bold stance: we lose this and it’s the last one we lose all season.

We’re probably due a loss and Norwich away doesn’t tend to be a great game for us.

If we are going for playoffs then we need to get away from hoodoos like Norwich away being a bad game for us. We need to approach it like every single other game and go for the win PUSB

Choose Your Own Adventure: Godden will start either the Norwich game or the FA cup replay game. You decide! If Norwich, go to page 27. If Wednesday, go to page 15.

After the Bristol C draw, I feel that we need to go out and try to win this match against a team that's historically been a bogey team for us. If we can get a win, it would put some distance between us and them and be a massive shot in the arm. At the very least we need a draw. No Godden in the starting 11 for this please.

Run comes to an end Saturday

File Norwich away in with Swansea, Hull and Preston. We just never win there

2nil Norwich for me

Think it’s our second toughest away game, we don’t seem to lose at home even when we should and got a feeling we’ll nick a point at Southampton.

Edit: Ah forgot about WBA, maybe third toughest and we lose one more then.

Happy that Rowe isnt playing for them. Dampens their threat a bit.

Tough game and usually one to prefer of course always going for all 3 points, but a draw would not totally be end of the world either. Will be really surprised if Goddens starts again, Simms for me.

Would take a draw to keep us in the mix and they'd remain out of the play off places

My confidence isn't there now that Sheaf is out.

Did I read that Jon Rowe is injured?

Tough game, but Robins will have a plan. We'll miss Sheaf.
Simms down the middle, and probably Wright for Palmer ( but that's tough on Palmer who's been good since he's been back)
Surely Torp & Eccles in CM (unless someone comes in)

I'd go with that too but do wonder if he'll do something lie against Leeds and work on the counter.

3-1 Norwich, after last night I don’t expect us to win hope I’m wrong

I think Robins will make them fully aware we weren’t good enough Tuesday and I expect a reaction. 2-1 win OHare and Sakamoto.

Evens it up if it's true. I reckon we can get a point

I agree with your team selection.


Playing Torpedo along side Eccles cake in midfield, so why the hell didn't Mark Robins bring Torpedo on when Sheaf went off last night.

I certainly don't think this game is any more difficult than Leeds, Sunderland, or even Middlesbrough, all away games we got a result from. I think at least a draw if we don't bottle it and go too defensive.

Have watched Norwich a number of times recently and been pretty impressed regardless of whether they have Rowe or not they play some good stuff.

Norwich are now another Bristol City type game no mugs and if we ain’t on it dangerous opposition, had we performed 20% better last night we would have won so we need to find that 20% Saturday.
Torp has to start rediculous he didn’t come on for Sheaf last night.
Defence is causing me concern it’s lost the tightness it had and keeper Collins the same on a bit of a form wobble at the moment, then pulls off a brilliant save at the death.

Conceded some really soft goals this month for sure. Hopefully last night changes MR’s mind on bringing everyone back for corners.

Can’t stand it, not sure if anyone can tell

If Godden starts the thinking will be wrong and we lose.. otherwise I think Simms is moving up a gear and a win is poss..
