[Brinkworth Saint]

Oh maybe Fellows isn't out after all. Mind you I'd rather we didn't take any stupid risks.

No urgent need to risk Fellows, tbh. We need to learn the lesson of previous errors on this subject.

Blimey, I turn my back for five minutes and everything looks different here. I'm old and change scares me.

That said, let's hope the chaps in red and white keep the Christmas spirits high today - really looking forward to it. COYR

Ha! Thought same. All confused & not comfortable. Still, I’m sure Saints will help me through (?)

I can’t see him playing. Think this is a bit of management smoke & mirrors to keep Norwich guessing.

 

[Libby]

Have you done the insurance bet? It could pay for your trip

I haven't! Thanks for the reminder

 

[StJabbo1]

Weirdly that's part of the reason for my pessimism. I hate games that we really *should* win, because of injuries etc. Also think we'll massively miss Fellows too (and they'll have a better chance to gang up on Leo without him).

At least they're starting with eleven so we won't have the difficulty of winning against ten and we'll have to, Leo especially, avoid the lumbering tackles thereby avoiding the disadvantage of the opposition having a player sent off when we're cruising at 3-0.

Yeah I’m not confident about today either. Fellows will be a big miss, poor record at Carrow Road, end of a 3 game week is always tough, particularly when away. They’ve turned a bit of a corner. We always lose to teams that are having an injury crisis. That said, hopefully the winning habit we’re developing will come through and we can scrape a result. COYR

Fraser worries me at wingback

Fraser worries me at wingback

Why, he's done a perfectly decent job there in the past.

Under Tondo we give a lot of space to other teams wingers, mix that in with someone who’s strength isn’t defending. It concerns me

He's better defensively than Fellows.

 

[ChilcoSaint]

He's better defensively than Fellows.

I agree, but please can he try and take on the oppo fullback for once?

 

[Libby]

Carrow Road has the floodlights on.

Game's gone.

 

[SaintsForTheWin]

He's better defensively than Fellows.

I’m not saying he’s not, fellows is massively exposed in defence too. The pair of them make Manning look very good in that aspect.

 

[saintlyhero]

Too many DMs on the bench for me, but hopefully we can get the job done

 

[AberdeenSaint]

I don`t share the negativity - we`re going to cut the mustard and win 2-0!

Games v teams in the rele zone, out of form and with injuries are a bit lose-lose

If we win well then it’s obvs we should have, anything less and it’s a meltdown

No need to make early subs to keep players fresh today. Really don’t want to see Scienza off at 60 minutes.

 

[jonny 'hasen' shuttle]

Can we do that thing where we score 3 goals in the first half again. I like that tactic

 

[Saintmagic]

Lineup that was expected really, Fraser obviously a massive downgrade on Fellows but hopefully we have enough to get the win, not overly confident
