After the Lord Mayors show…

Definitely need to be up for this one.

Draw

What's the away pub now? Compleat Angler seems to be changed to home?

Loads of better pubs nearby. Fat Cat & Canary for starters.

Nice. 

[Edmonton Saint]

Games like this make the maddening decision to not replace Stewart very worrisome.

[AlexLaw76]

Larin is going to need 'rotating' this week, at some point.

[Cabrone]

One of the tougher games of the season but we may have gotten lucky by playing them whilst they are having a wobble.

IMO Norwich will be somewhere between 5th-8th by the end of the season so a draw would be par for the course and a win would be a bonus.

They haven't shown they are capable of that so far, a shadow of how they ended last season. We however are 3rd for points won in games so far this season.

[S-Clarke]

This will be a tough game, but count me surprised when I looked at the table and saw Norwich below us - I could have sworn they were doing better, but that may just be a left over feeling of how they ended last year.

Winnable for sure, we need to start sorting our away form out as it's horrific.

Not replacing him or extending his contract strangely achieve the same outcome.

We tried to extend his contract though he refused it - 18 games in 3 years and we tried to re-sign him and he turned us down.

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Tough midweek fixture, even though they have lost their last 3 games. Be interesting to see how much rotation we'll have going on for this one.

Has he started for Swansea as yet?

I watched todays game on ITV and I was sure they said that the Norwich game was being shown on there as well but I cant see it anywhere

*Jander and Kyle for the win if we need it.

[bpsaint]

I’d consider giving Dobbin and/or Mubama a proper run for this. We can’t keep relying on Larin up top and someone else needs to step up.

I thought it was only on Sky Sports Plus

[SouthWalesSaints]

Seems he wants to freshen the squad up this week.  Hinted as such in his interview. 
 

Personally I’d do that by adding a few in weds rather than sat as I think we’ll win well Saturday so can make changes on 60 without worry of result. Away games have been an issue as we’ve got weaker as games have progressed.  

Reckon we could see something like this. But he might decide that Bolton at home is better for changes. Wouldn’t worry me if we started this and had firepower to come on with 30 to go. Imagine Jander, Larin, Scienza coming on at 0-0 1-1 etc. 
 

Peretz, Bree, WOOD, Kevin. WELLINGTON, Downes, Jwp, MATSUKI, Azaz, DOBBIN, MUAMBA

We’ve also nearly sold this out. Around 100 tickets left of 2022.
 

Should be a good atmosphere Tuesday, nothing better than a midweek away game miles from home ( when you win ).

Agree mate but make sure you go on Wednesday not Tuesday 

Hopefully shift the last of those tickets 

Norwich away always feels like a tough fixture, could easily be another Watford/ Wrexham 

[do i not like fizzy pop]

Ipswich fan I work with texted me:

"Great win against the fish, now go and beat the stupid budgies."

 

[Football Special]

Some other interesting games midweek 

Stoke v Middlesbrough 

Millwall v Swansea 

Hopefully draws in both of those 

[Pamplemousse]

We've ended our home hoodoo against the skates, and got our first clean sheet of the season, so hopefully we can finally pick up an away win and tick that particular box.

I doubt there will be anywhere in Salzburg showing the game. ( Plus, even if there is I suspect my wife won't be interested in going there ).

At no time ever you should not be hoping for a Boro defeat

He left 16 years ago mate, and he's 53 now. Plus at 5 foot 9 probably too short for a glovesman

Ah yes, Wednesday; that's why I initially couldn't find it on the listings..DOH!  On Sky Sports +, so down the pub it is.

[Dman]

We need to be much better than we were yesterday. Obviously having 11 will help. 
 

Draw I think.

Might do better with Kevan in front of him.

I’ll get my coat…
