Norwich vs Saints - Wednesday 1945

[Jack]

Norwich have been conceding goals and chances for fun. Apparently on Saturday they were a lot better than they have been recently, but from the highlights Swansea missed a load of big chances as well as scoring 2. They’re decent going forward but look wide open at the back, they don’t seem to protect the back 4 very well. We’ve been shit away but surely it’ll click at some point.

Our away form can't continue as it is to stand a decent chance of automatics. A tense and nervy win? I'd fackin snap your hand off for one.

Their two best players (Toure and McLean) are both out injured too.

I may be totally wrong but I can’t see Leo playing this game. At one point before he came off on Sunday, may even have been in the first half, he was stretching him hamstring. Although I’m sure the tactics necessitated it, he may well have come off anyway. He didn’t seem quite as explosive or dynamic after the stretching.

Prob not best to drop Bree (head wound aside) after scoring the winner on Sunday.

...but he does have a head wound - that "needs stitches".

You can't 'put that aside'.

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

Bolton probably.

Disagree with this. We have the following who were not starters against Pompey; Wellington, Wood, Abbott, Roerslev, Jander, Matsuki, Fellows, Edozie, Mubama, Dobbin.

Seriously? Let’s explore this…

Welington - he has enough quality to be a starter, but he’s literally not getting a start. Why?

Wood - was not getting a start for ages, then suddenly he’s starting. Had struck up a decent partnership with Deven but then dropped for Pimpley. Will he be back for Norwich…possibly.

Abbott - not started in a first team game - what makes you think he’s good enough now?

Roeslev - when did he last start a game? Why now?

Jander - will start ahead of Bragg and possibly even JWP - the one player you’d expect to start now.

Matsuki - could be a starter if Tonda thought that suited the game plan…not happening much though.

Fellows - not starting games presumably because Tonda doesn’t rate him enough to start. Not even getting off the bench much lately.

Edozie - hardly ever gets a start, presumably because he offers so little and Tonda doesn’t trust him to deliver.

Mubama - how many starts has he had? How many times off the bench? Not good enough, that’s why.

Dobbin - how many starts has he had? How many times off the bench? Not good enough, that’s why?

Sorry, but when you look at it closely, our squad beyond the obvious starters is not that strong. I reckon there will likely be no more than 3 players rotated on Wednesday…Wood, Jander…possibly Matsuki.
