Why not the win that we are capable of.....?

We haven’t won away from home in the League since Jan 1st. Since then we’ve sold three players and Leroy Fer is injured. Norwich are top of the Championship and scoring goals for fun. I’d say the odds are pretty much stacked against us. If we get a point I’d be delighted.

Park the bus rubbish is a defeatist attitude...I cant see potter or the players ever agreeing with you in a million years.....They will be going for the win that all good teams with confident in their abilities will do.....
 
Dreading tonight. A hiding would not be a good confidence builder before the Man City match !!
 
Looking forward to tonight's game, Norwich are playing well and looking to go further ahead at the top, they'll be up for it so its going to be a stern test for us.

Now all the dust has settled we can see that this is what we've been left with, a small, young squad with plenty of talent but lacking in experience. So tonight's game will show who we are as a football team.

We'll see if we're good enough to get to the play-offs or not imo. Doesn't mean we have to get anything out of the game, I don't think we will, but what I'll be looking for is a courageous performance, something the team and players can take forward into the next game and the next all the way to May.

We are better than some of the teams above us so at this time making the play-offs is still a possibility but to get there we'll need some grit and determination and I hope they'll show that tonight. We are better than some of the teams currently above us, not Norwich, so a confidence building performance is what I'm looking for tonight.

Norwich 2-0 Swans, but its a funny old game and you never know, Norwich may take us lightly, anything can happen in the Championship.

Tough game yes but they all are in reality. My concern is we have been really poor starters and exceptional in the 2nd half,,,,If Norwich score 2 quick goals in the 1st half then the chances of getting anything is nil.....Potter is the key tonight on his tactics because if he dont play his strongest side from the start and play like we do in most 2nd half games then he is questionable Why .....I dont mind losing games as that is the nature of the game as long as we do our best and go there for the win...

Very impressive first half from us, just need to keep it up second half, Norwich will come out looking for the early goal.................<ok>

Swansea have had the better of things, but do seem to be missing the threat provided by Oli McBurnie in the box.

Championship leaders Norwich have not had a shot on target. Their attack has been rather blunt.

and I did quote
 
Very decent first half from us.
Let's hope that we are capable of more than 45 mins of football.
