    Today sees us take on our opponents from our visit to Wembley in May 15 and WHAT a day that was!!!! :emoticon-0102-bigsm
    We will definitely be missing Pinto and possibly JM <yikes>, but all 4 of our new signings could feature in the squad at least. So Howson will be facing up to some of his old teammates and I hpe Canaries fans give him a warm welcome
    Who can ever forget JM's goal from our trip to the Riverside which won September's GotM award????

    Sky preview -
    New signings midfielder Moritz Leitner, winger Onel Hernandez and striker Dennis Srbeny should all feature in the squad again, while on-loan Tottenham midfielder Marcus Edwards (back) may also be in contention for a belated debut. James Maddison's eight goals in the Championship have been worth 13 points for Norwich this season; more than any other player in the competition. In fact, the Canaries' last three wins have all come courtesy of a Maddison strike.
    Middlesbrough boss Tony Pulis could include his three late transfer window signings in the squad for the first time. Everton midfielder Mo Besic and Huddersfield defender Martin Cranie both clinched deadline-day moves to the Riverside Stadium a day after Manchester City youngster Jack Harrison joined on loan following his switch from sister club New York City. Their arrivals coincided with the departures of full-back Cyrus Christie and strikers Martin Braithwaite and Ashley Fletcher. Pulis has no fresh injury worries with central defender Daniel Ayala having come through Tuesday evening's 0-0 draw with Sheffield Wednesday unscathed three days after he had limped out of the 1-0 FA Cup fourth-round defeat by Brighton with discomfort in his groin.

    Mods - please merge if KIO or anyone else does one. I'm now off out and won't be posting much until after the Wales V Scotland rugby.

    I can see why Godfrey was sent back on loan. Suddenly we are spoilt for choice in most positions, he would not be getting enough game time at a combative level to progress his career.

    Bit short of cover at
    Bit short of cover at RB aren't we - Godfrey could play there I guess. Only 2 strikers (and Watkins if we are desperate)

    Got adequate cover everywhere else though.

    Great to see the same starting 11 as last week and hope some of the subs get more than 10 minutes on the pitch. ☺ x

    With them down to 10 men, this could be a good opportunity for Leitner or Hernandez to boost our attacking strength.

    PS Jerome has scored for Derby.
