The top v bottom derby. Away.

If we lose by 2 goals or less I'll see that as a moral victory..

Our default position away from home is to politely let the opposition score a couple without landing a glove on them... This Norwich side have scored the 2nd most goals in the league so far (only behind WBA) and they love to score late on... We love to concede late on.

I can see us being 1-0 down after 78 minutes, then somehow losing 5-0 after 90

 

Despite the very different seasons we have had, I still can not take any "derby" game lightly and will watch with a significant degree of nervousness, at least to begin with.

 

I think what we have all got used to now as Town fans is the ‘to begin with’ can last for 90 minutes but it is going to be quite a shock to the system if the inevitable doesn’t happen. I saw the Leeds game and the dynamic football that Norwich are playing now is a world away from the start of the season when there was not much to separate the two sides. I don’t think at any point in our history have we been in the same division and been so far apart.

It’s going to be embarrassing for us as fans but if Lambert is not a complete psychopath he should really be feeling humailiated in the circumstances.

 

Yes it's true that the team is a million miles away from what we saw earlier in the season but have made hard work of it a number of times since, more so in home fixtures, against teams at the bottom end of the league. Millwall & Bolton spring to mind. For some bizarre reason, the style of play and form away from CR has been so much better, hence my apprehension ahead of Sunday.

 

It shames me to say it ,but I really think you’ve nothing to fear.

 

Understandable comment from your perspective, but football is a funny old game. Putting aside any loyalty to City, I would expect a home win banker but I will not / can not stick my neck out and say it will happen. I have been watching this game far too long and have been bitten many, many times in the past when expectations have been high.

 

We surely cannot lose 9 on the spin away from home.

 

Oh, we do hope so!

 

You are having a laugh SD...but I will join so we can both split our sides aching with laughter!

1-2 to Town

 

Why not,when we probably said the same about losing 6,then 7 then 8?!

 

When will it end!

 

I’ve been watching the Sunderland thing on Netflix. Absolutely incredible watch and a lot of parallels with our own plight.

Their change of ownership came and that’s what’s stopped the rot.

 

Tell you what I would absolutely love to see that when I can.

 

Very sad but inspiring too. A lot of good people, a handful of absolute rotters.

 

I fear an absolute mauling.....7-0

 

You’ve changed your tune pretty rapidly Spanish.

Are any Town fans on here actually going?

The policing and restrictions that the Norfolk Police have put in place have obviously been met with a lot of frustration by Town fans.. I have no issue with the no drink policy as I'm not that bothered by a drink, but the whole train stipulations along with being ushered to the ground to present your papers makes it sound like a journey to East Germany in the 1970's

 

I'm getting the 10:23 train from Ipswich, what restrictions are there on the train ?

 

I was going, but the fact that you could only buy one ticket scuppered my plans..plus the £40 charge is ridiculous.
