It´s good that Fellaini Who´s not at all tiny Will be missing on Saturday, Without him they´re not Quite so sizzling hot He´s involved in all their best play And up in this tier Any help that´s there Is not to be sneezed at, you know, Although his reserve Could also unnerve I´m sure for them it´s still a blow So if we play well Again who´s to tell Just how this encounter might end, They´ve lost very few In fact only two But we´re more than back on the mend Unbeaten in five League games, with a drive Which starts with Ruddy at the back, And continues on Through one S. Bassong Tettey and Wes to our attack And a settled team Which lately it´s been Has done much to improve our form, I think one can say That the Hughton way Is now beckoning a new dawn Weekdays at Colney There with his cronies C. Calderwood and one P. Trollope, They work as one And hope when it´s done That weekends we´ll dish out a wallop And there´s no dispute That it´s bearing fruit The work that they´re all putting in, We look hard to beat And one more clean sheet Would be a good way to begin I doubt we´ll be chewed Once this one is viewed Despite it being Toffee´s place, A win there´s maybe More than we will see But a draw would be no disgrace.

Hi RBF, I find this one very difficult to call! We've been strong in defence lately but I still worry that may not continue away from home! I'd definitely accept a draw right now!
Morning dave, I think Fellaini being out could just swing things a bit more in our direction, I remember watching them against QPR I think it was, when he was also missing , and they looked pretty ordinary there. Not going to be easy being away, but we couldn´t have asked for a better preparation than last Saturday.
That's true RBF, but the other side of the coin is Reading didn't do us any favours with their choice of a first league win!
Hi RBF, got a sneaky feeling we might nick this one, will be very tight but being able to field a settled team brings confidence, bit like the Man U game I think here they are the big boys we are just lil ol Norwich away from home, no pressure on our boys other than it would be good to get to 20 pts asap looking at the Xmas run is a bit scary with WBA, Chelski and Mancity.( but we beat Manure so we can beat them!)

Jarold, you mention the Christmas run, personally I'm quite glad we've got the games we do! We're playing teams that realistically we're not expecting a single point out of, so it doesn't really matter if the players go into one or two of those games a little tired. If we had QPR, Reading and Southampton over that period, we'd be looked for more than 6 points, which would make tiredness more of an issue. It'll probably mean we'll slip down the table a bit temporarily, but we'll have the games we're more likely to get points in still to come.
Very sound reasoning and looking at Citeh's defence last night (if it existed) we might sneak a goal or two as a belated Xmas present!!!!
One of the really tough one's this, even without Fellani. Last season Jelavic ripped us apart, he's a class act, but our defence is really sound now so I'm expecting a close game again, and hoping for another 1-0. I'm a bit worried about Bassong.......how will he cope now he's had his baton confiscated!
luckily for us, jelavic is off-form at the moment. it will still be a tough match for us, i can see us probably losing to be honest especially if we put in a similar performance to the reading game (hope we play better)
