    I'd just ask for back and sides.

    You're short enough...

    So we have slipped into the bottom 3. In my view this is a must win game. Nothing else will do for me. If we can't beat Norwich in their current state then I really fear for us.

    Not even bothered about this game Norman and Im so confident that I reckon we could score 6 tomoz and Rodrigo will get 3. Yes left myself open to ridicule I know

    Doc - we should be beating them as they haven't won a a game yet and only scored 2 goals but our penchance for breaking these runs for the oppo is becoming almost legendary.

    I wish I had your confidence and belief.

    I know mate but I see Mitrovic has scored 18 goals on his own this season so I reckon Rodrigo or Joffy will be confident enough to rattle in a couple again ffs. All we need is someone to pass a decent ball in once and boom

    It would be soooo Leedslike to lose tomorrow. They’ve had some shockers away from home but haven’t been a pushover at Carrow road. It’s hardly like we’ve been on fire. It will be a tough game, they all are.

    not sure how mitrovic scoring regularly in the champ will give confidence to rod and joffy? .

    As an aside for all his really promising play in the wolves game, so far joffy hasn’t had his shooting boots on - he’s sliced two wide and picked the keeper out when he really should have scored. The promising thing has been him getting in position to score.

    Question for ya milkyboy...

    Just watched Spuds v Man Ure...scum have 4 shots on target and scored 3 goals, two of which were one-on-ones with the keeper. Somehow xg for Man Ure was 1.19 ?

    Go on fill your boots and explain how xg works please.

    Not bothered either Doc.

    It's just one of 38 games and I'm super confident we are more than capable of staying in this division.

    sounds about right to me.
    - The Fred shot was from 25+ yards out. let’s say 0.075
    - the Ronaldo goal was a volley from
    A really tight angle let’s say 0.12
    - two shots with just the keeper to beat let’s call it 0.5 each.

    they all use different algorithms but I’d say it seems about right. Their xg was really low in the game they put 5 past us as well. They scored goals they usually wouldn’t .

    Any time you need a noddy’s guide to probability, you know where to find me bud.

    That's what I figured, that a one-on-one = 50% chance of scoring.

    So why is Roberts expected to score a bag full of goals when most of his chances would rate around the 0.05 to 0.15 in xg probability <laugh>

    Another bread and butter game. we need the 3 pts simple as that but Norwich will be thinking the same.
    Think the next 6 games are very important in our season because once these are over we have a solid looking Dec fixture list if we are in the bottom 3 going into Dec it really is game on.
    Home:Leicester,Palace,Brentford
    Away:Norwich,Spuds,Brighton
    We have to start putting wins on the board simple as that. points aren't going to get us away from the drop zone.
    Win tomorrow and it gives us a bit breathing space on the bottom 2.
    I'm expecting a tough game Norwich know if they lose this they are already losing touch on the the bottom 3.
    they will be thinking as much as us this is a winnable game.
    Having Rapha and Phillips back is massive but we still have to go out and perform we need a Watford style game attitude we have to go into the game thinking we are better than these.
    A massive 3 pts up for grabs. please god lets go out there and do the business as we need a couple back to back wins now just to get us moving.
    We have to get back in that Brentford-Watford bunch and a win would just do that.
