Apart from setting Stewart away and him almost scoring the winner of course.

I think the point about Stewart is he's a goal scorer. In a shortish cameo he had our best effort and but for a worldie save would have won it for us.

If Adams is unfit I'd start Stewart for the second leg.

Thought Downes was superb. Must have watched a different game.

Tough game, take the 0-0.

I'd take the 0-0 now.

Clearly missing Che's strength and hold-up play - Mara really is a seriously poor replacement so I'd bring on Stewart at half-time although I accept it won't happen. Our biggest worries are Fellows against Manning plus I'm concerned we'll be punished from continually giving the ball away in our own half especially by Stephens. McCarthy made a good save and Bednarek has been our best defender. Aribo, Smallbone and Downes doing well in midfield.

Is Mara wearing concrete boots?

No card for that!

Stephens gives it away yet again and costs Downes a booking,

Good try from Mara

Fellows against Manning is a big worry.

Better

Need to get tighter to them and getsome meaty challenges in.

Shocking start from us.

Clearly RM is being influenced by Mara's 82 minutes when we beat them 2-0. Could be a mistake but we'll soon find out.

Hope we play at a decent tempo and keep the walking football to a minimum. I know its hot but you have to play on the front foot from the start.

If Mara doesn't cut it I hope RM will be brave enough to sub him for Stewart early in the game. We can't afford any passengers in this match.

Mara played 82 minutes in the 2-0 win at West Brom so he was always going to be the replacement for Adams.

Norwich v Leeds very cagey so far and pretty boring. Typical play-off first leg game.

Mara up front then.

Won't be a disaster.

Got a feeling today will be far from easy. Win or draw would be great - worst case scenario lose by one goal.

I think the aim with Adams is not to show our hand to West Brom.

If Adams is unfit it will be Mara upfront. His biggest involvement this season was 82 minutes away to West Brom when we beat them 2-0.
