A bit like us with Fellows then, tit for tat.

Harsh calling Fellows "tat"

3-1 Norwich.

When we give them a good stuffing tomorrow it'll give my Norwich supporting missus another reason to moan. Thankfully as I'm out doing the 12 pubs of Christmas, I won't be there to hear it. I just hope (and expect) a few of the pubs we hit between half 12 and half 2 have Sky.

We've definitely caught Norwich at a good time, they're sinking, we're rising. It often seems like we catch teams shortly after they've had some sort of renaissance but that's not the case for Norwich. I saw bits of their game last weekend and their keeper makes Baz look like Peter Shilton. Sargent out seems like a plus, but reading their forum, they seem to think they looked better after he came off. I still think it's a good thing. 

I'm going 4-1.

Tomorrow would be a good opportunity to switch back to four at the back without Tom Fellows.

A team struggling too. I think it’ll be closer than some think, torn between 1-1 and 2-1 to us. It has every potential to be a bit of a banana skin for us.

We won’t go back to a four, we don’t have a right back

No but we do have a shoehorn. 😃

If we keep playing for only 45 mins we are going to come unstuck soon. The second half cuntishness just baffles me! Is it an intentional strategy? The fact it's happened in all of Tonda's games in charge suggests it is, which to me is not only bizarre but arrogance. It will catch us out.....we only hung on against WBA as they were shite in front of goal (Baz also made a couple of good saves). If we can play as well as we do in the first half, we can and should be doing it for the whole 97+ minutes! Cut out playing like absolute cockwombles for the second half please!!

I'd hope that only happens when there isn't 7 days to rest between games, so not as much of a reason to do that tomorrow apart from existing tired legs - which the players that were rested for (pretty much) half a match twice shouldn't have.

It's a fair observation, but they got rid of the manager responsible for most of that bad run, since Clement was appointed they have started to look better 

Lost one in last four. 

Last home game was a 3-1 win against QPR who currently sit above us in a play off spot. 

The same QPR side that when we beat them away, people on here were saying they were crap and that game along with Wednesday were no measuring stick for success!
