whelk Posted 12 November, 2021 Author Share Posted 12 November, 2021 (edited) Didn’t realise how ‘perilous’ our qualification was.

Baird of the land Posted 12 November, 2021 Share Posted 12 November, 2021 Watched N.Ireland scrape a win. Steven Davis is still class(in what's likely to be his penultimate international game). Fortunately for N.Ireland Lithuania were clinical when it came to the OG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems strange, can't find any details, bit odd with the whole Saints squad being told to work from home this week as well? Only players who have actually featured so far in internationals, Djenepo for Mali Armstrong/ Adams for Scotland Smallbone for Ireland u21s JWP (illness), Livramento (injury) Broja (injury?) and Bednarek absent.

Yeah the WFH thing was pretty funny, like as in how a team sport work at home. Guess they are keeping fitness up, maybe videos of automations, and Norwich tactics and stuff. It’s pretty boring also with the international breaks, cant stand them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarvSFC Posted 13 November, 2021 Share Posted 13 November, 2021 To be fair, the last time the team worked from home (lockdown), we came back as Manchester City. Norwich's time to prepare for the match with a new manager is ticking by too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted 15 November, 2021 Share Posted 15 November, 2021 TBF I highly doubt that was picked as being the optimal team to beat San Marino. Much more likely Gareth has assumed we'll get the job done regardless of formation and he wants to experiment with his set up and players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarvSFC Posted 15 November, 2021 Share Posted 15 November, 2021 We played a back four plus Foden, Mount, Sterling, Kane and Grealish against the mighty Hungary just last month and it didn't work and we drew 1-1. I know it's only San Marino, but it doesn't do any harm to pick a system and then stick to it. The wing-backs are also key attackers in this formation.
