It’s an early start for Norwich this Saturday away at Watford’s Vicarage Road. The Hornets sit in 15th place. Their last hit out was a Monday night loss at Birmingham. Prior to that, November was a steady stream of wins and draws over top half teams. A Norwich win could bring us back to within 1 point of safety, but Watford’s 6 game unbeaten run at home will be a tough nut to crack. Last weekend’s victory over QPR will have instilled some confidence and hopefully, it’s a sign that Big Phil’s coaching and tactics are making a difference. Up the football league we go. OTBC!

From the Press Conference, Stacey is not a long term injury, but Watford is too early for him, hope to recover him next week. Anis Ben Slimane will be on the bench tomorrow, PC expects 2 or 3 others to train on Sunday, players are coming back, but you cannot throw them straight into games, need to be careful with Mahovo
There appears to be a problem with Fawanews, if you are using Sky Broadband. I think they have blocked it. Mine isn't working, but my friends is. He is using BT Broadband and it's working. Might be worth checking before the game.
Might be signs of a new clampdown. Lots of people in our area were fined 500 euros for watching a stream of the recent game of Nice v PSG and reports of prosecutions in Germany for watching streams of Arsenal v Bayern.
Mine is definitely not working, but I'm in contract with Sky till June 2027,so I'm going to loose my Fawanews matches. Not a happy start to the day
Springett starts at left back today! His fist appearance in 2 years, first start in 2 and a half. Typically a left winger, big call from Clement
Yes, I was amazed to see that. Clement is certainly starting from a clean slate - no potential asset ruled out.
