    Sheffield United 0-0 Sheffield Wednesday

    Good result for us. If we could win by two goals, we could not only move 3 points clear of them but with a better goal difference as well.

    He wasn't even on the bench. May be injured. Leeds play at West Brom in the late match, so there could be an opportunity for us to go top over the international break.

    If he was any kind of mate, he would let you have his ticket and pay £26 for himself DD.
    Doesn't he realise that you and your 'Matchday Threads' are the true reason behind our surge? <whistle> <ok>

    He is blissfully unaware of my Not606 persona and wouldn't care either...

    Don't talk the ****er up just yet though.

    Typical DF!!! :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Edit - So, only last week, owls fans were asking for the return of Westwood – ‘It was in no small part down to Dawson, whose penalty save was his second in consecutive weeks after keeping out Mario Vrancic's effort in last weekend's 4-0 home defeat by Norwich. That loss prompted some Owls fans to call for the return of the experienced Keiren Westwood in goal, but they were singing the name of the Wednesday academy graduate when he denied McGoldrick, who had scored all three of his previous penalties this season, to ensure a share of the derby spoils.’ #ficklefans <laugh>

    Sky Preview - Norwich expect to have defender Timm Klose and midfielder Mario Vrancic available for the Sky Bet Championship match against Millwall. Klose (ankle) and Vrancic (leg) have both been able to return to training, so should be involved along with midfielder Todd Cantwell, who has been out with a hamstring problem. nOn-loan forward Jordan Rhodes is available again after being ineligible to play in the 4-0 win at parent club Sheffield Wednesday.

    Millwall midfielder Jed Wallace is pressing for a recall to the starting XI at Carrow Road. Wallace has been carrying a calf problem, but came on as a substitute in last weekend's 2-0 defeat at Brentford and has been back in full training all week. Lions boss Neil Harris revealed no other fresh injury concerns, so must decide whether to freshen up his team which had won two from the past three games before losing at Griffin Park. Midfielder Ryan Tunnicliffe and defender James Meredith are both options, while veteran forward Steve Morison will be hoping to get the chance to face one of his former clubs.

    Opta stats
    Norwich are unbeaten in their last 20 home matches against Millwall in all competitions (W13 D7) since losing 0-3 in November 1968. ACN <yikes
    Millwall have lost four of their last five league games against Norwich, winning the other 4-0 at the Den last season. After winning just one of their opening six league games this season (D2 L3), Norwich have won eight of their last 10 in the Championship (D1 L1).
    Only Rotherham (3) have scored fewer away Championship goals this season than Millwall (4).

    I fully expect a 2-0, 3-0 kind of scoreline today - and with any luck get ahead and stay ahead of Leeds

    Same line-up except that Stiepermann replaces Vrancic. Cantwell and Trybull return to the bench.

    "Daniel Farke makes one change to the starting line-up after last Saturday's 4-0 win at Sheffield Wednesday. Marco Stiepermann returns in the place of Mario Vrancic who is named on the bench. Farke confirmed the Bosnian had been suffering with a knock earlier in the week. Jordan Rhodes is also named on the bench having been unable to feature against his parent club last weekend."

    Not surprised to see Stipermann preferred to Vrancic, even if it's a bit hard on Mario. Millwall are a physical side and Stiepermann is more able to combat that.

    True, but Vrancic also had a knock and missed training earlier in the week. Vrancic can hold his own with the physical side.

    Millwall were edging this even before the goal, a failure to pick up Elliott. City need to step it up a gear. Signs of that now. COYY!

    I read somewhere that, if matches had finished at half-time, we would be fifth from bottom. We have to start turning up for the first half of matches - we can't keep coming back from behind.
