    Depends what's going on with ABK really! Right now we could do with a better 3rd choice option than a wantaway Lyanco which is all we seem to have. If ABK get's his head down and stays and assuming we ship Lyanco out somewhere by the end of the window then we might just decide that Awe is up to being 4th choice.

    I am taking little Loading. I hope he doesn't lose interest after this as he is just getting into the idea of going to games...

    At least we'll have a decent back four!

    This is still a very good XI my concerns have alleviated

    Think this will be a tough game, Norwich looked good in beating Hull - much better than the late 2-1 win suggests.
    Now, I don't think Hull are as solid at the back as Wednesday looked, but Norwich created a lot of very good chances and were kept out by a mixture of good keeping, post and wayward finishing.

    Their full backs vs ours will be interesting. In build up play, McLean drops in to make a back three and their full backs push very high and very wide, allowing the wingers to tuck in and drive at the defence. Stacey (RB) and Rowe (LW) looked very good, very quick and very direct. I expect them to cause us some problems.

    Yes Adam Armstrong. Although I'd rather it be Adams, doubt he'll start this game.

    Probably the game after the red card he got at Chelsea a couple of seasons ago.

    It's going to be strange not seeing him lead the team out. He's going to feel a bit odd too being a smaller cog in the Spam machine?

    I think a few of our fans need some of what the Norwich manager is drinking!

    Meh, the last manager who praised us (Gillingham) in the media got his team to completely arse rape us <laugh><laugh>

    (And yes, I know it was our ****ty 2nd string)

    He didn't praise us, he said it was a disgrace we got relegated!
