If we win 2-0 and Wrexham win 3-2 , for example then it’s equal goal difference and equal goals scored.. then it’s the head to head … not a crazy scenario…
 
Ya know what, how many times this season have we said how untypical this City team is, alas they've reverted to type over the last few games when the pressure has been on. But I'm strangely optimistic, Norwich won't come to park the bus, they'll have a go, nowt to lose so to speak, but then again to a certain degree so have we. If we lose, we probably don't go up, if we draw we probably don't go up ( think Derby will turn Sheff U over). So there's only one real option, go for it, with what we have available, id be inclined to risk Hughes tbh, McNair into midfield alongside Slater, get Crooks up to no. 10, get Joseph on the left Belloumi on the right, and tell McBeasty to go cause havoc. We can get Gelbardt and Millar on later in the game to run against tired.legs. I'd also be having a word with our captain, to sort it out, no fkn about, no piss ups, do your job. Ajayi I'm afraid is playing scared in case he misses out of the world cup, leave him on the bench. This IS a game we can win, if we do I honestly believe it'll be enough.

No excuses BAB, Nigeria didnt qualify...
 
I’d love to be wrong but I can’t see anything but a loss for us. These nerves and lack of confidence have spread like rot these past couple of months and we don’t seem capable of arresting the slide. I can’t imagine we will suddenly turn up on the last day of the season. Really hope I’m wrong, but the only way I see us getting 6th is if derby lose and Wrexham lose by one or more than us.

Once in a blue moon, we need something different, it won’t be, but we need to change something, he’s missed more than he’s scored & bringing him on later on to score or miss again will be doing something different.

I'd start Millar and Joseph against Norwich with the intention to throw Yu and Belloumi on for the second half if the former pair doesn't work. Tell Millar and Joseph to run at and pin back the Norwich full backs as both have the speed to cause issues (see: Millwall performance). Millar also drew a yellow in the opening minutes against Charlton and we didn't exploit that.

I’m not a huge fan of Yu, in comparison to the other options, which is why I’d have Millar & Mo from the bench around 50-60 minutes, along with Crooks.
For me we need to start Joseph on the left, Gelhardt on the right & Koumas behind McB.
None of which will happen, Sergei will bring Koumas on at some point, & stick him on the wing, where he’ll fail, because that’s not his best position.
It’s not worked in the past 5 games, why would it suddenly work in this one?
We need to do something different, otherwise this season is completely done with.

I think the Joff conundrum is the biggest issue as we basically have five wingers that are all 'good' enough to play some part (I do tend to agree on Yu) but none of which seem to work well in the 10. You're right that maybe the best option is Joff and Joseph from the start and then throw Mo and Millar on against tiring legs and then Yu is almost a last 5/10 minutes break glass desperation play if we want to just throw 8 forwards on.
