Fingers crossed that Downes ankle is not too bad. He walked (hobbled) off the pitch, so can’t be too bad.

A tough, worthy win. Casper Jander take a bow - incredible performance!

How did Jander miss that!!!

We’re starting to revert to Russball - always happens when Stephens plays.

Ref needs to remember where his fucking cards are…they’re going in hard

Glad Tonda heard me 😉

Time for Scienza - Edozie has given up

Rare JWP error in possession

Ref is being right twat

Great goal from a persistent Matzuki.

Both fullbacks changed at HT - can’t say Tonda’s got that wrong.

Dobbin has been somewhat quiet. Edozie has done a bit, but as usual to no real effect. Abbott looks a bit dodgy at RB. Manning all over the place playing as a striker at times. No wonder Edozie can’t get forward when he’s covering for Manning a lot of the time. Norwich look like they’re a bit shit, but very capable of scoring out of the run of play. Thank fuck they’ve been poor as Cap’t Jack has been caught ball watching a couple of times. Ref needs to get his head out of his arse and protect our players more.

Shite FK from Manning

Ah but some on here think our subs are as good as our normal starters. 😉

We’ve had our fair share of willing runners (that are otherwise shite).

Abbott being ripped a new one by their winger. Gets a yellow FFS. Looks like Tonda’s had enough as Fellows is warming up.

Dirty fuckers this lot and Ref not dealing with it.

Downes went over on his ankle. That’ll bruise up nicely.

Downes down and probably out. We got lucky again not clearing our lines decisively.

Manning getting his pass (backwards) % up I see. 🙄

Where the fuck was Manning?! Nowhere near his defensive position AGAIN!

Can’t see this going too well, but in Tonda we… oh shit they came close attacking our fantastic new RB!

The big unknown - will it be Cap’t Jack or Woods? And could that make a difference to the result, particularly if Norwich are more clinical in attack than the blue phew? Can’t believe Tonda will want to change anything else other than Bragg being changed for Matsuki. Head says 2-2…heart says 1-3.

Happy to agree on reflection - I think there was a misunderstanding on both sides. To your point, I did say that I expected 2-3 players to be rotated but no more.

Errr, that’s not what I said in the context of the original post. Saintant seemed to suggest that wholesale changes would be made from the players listed. My contention was that Tonda would not make wholesale changes because there’s not the quality there to allow that and thereby risk a bad result.
