Tuesday night under the lights at Carrow Rd as Norwich take on Plymouth Argyle.

Norwich sit in 13th spot with a +1 Gd
Plymouth in 19th with a -11 Gd.

Norwich secured a credible draw away to WBA at the weekend, scoring more goals than the locals had seen for some time. With the return of the Mayor to add some much needed guile to our reserve team, who quite frankly have done alright, I'm hoping for 3 points and a clean sheet.

Thorup vs Rooney will also be of interest to the purist, as the jury really is out on Wayne's tactical nous.

OTBC!
 
Another great thread China!

Team news from the Presser:
No new injuries. McLean and Crisene likely to start and Barnes, Gibbs and Hernandez will be on the bench. Marcondes likely to play behind Crnac with Sainz and Forson on the flanks with Sørensen or Slimane partnering McLean in midfield. Back four of Stacey, Duffy, Doyle and Crisene with Gunn in goal. Núñez could be available for Luton on Saturday and Córdoba for QPR the following Saturday.

I still find it amazing that another midweek match requires the visiting fans to travel nearly 700 miles round trip.
Absolutely ridiculous

What about the fans, they are important too
They are, but from my own experience -- 50 or so years ago admittedly -- one shouldn't underestimate just what an important part these ostensibly arduous trips play in the enjoyment of travelling support. The epitome of those days (and nights) for me was a midweek match at Blackburn, in filthy weather, from which we returned tired out but in good spirits, well satisfied with ourselves, and with a heightened sense of camaraderie, despite having lost the match.
