    Can see another defeat here unfortunately which would be hugely disappointing with three very winnable games thus far.

    Good man, I think he came to Norwich because he'd heard about all the windmills in Norfolk!

    Andy Townsend, Darren Kenton, Jon Otsemobor and who can forget Kevin Bond? Have always felt that Southampton are probably one of the closest teams to us in terms of size.

    Shocking decision not to play Olsson at left back for Garrido and harsh to drop Howson, but for balance otherwise I think it's a good line-up


    Norwich: Ruddy, Garrido, Turner, Bassong, Whittaker, Redmond, Fer, Johnson, Snodgrass, Elmander, van Wolfswinkel. Subs: Martin, Howson, Pilkington, Bunn, Hoolahan, Becchio, Tettey.

    Southampton: Boruc, Chambers, Fonte, Lovren, Fox, Schneiderlin, Wanyama, Ward-Prowse, Osvaldo, Lallana, Lambert. Subs: Kelvin Davis, Clyne, Yoshida, Steven Davis, Rodriguez, Ramirez, Shaw.

    Referee: Howard Webb (S Yorkshire)

    Not just size. Their history over the last ten years has seemed very similar to ours. I like them, I think they do things the right way. I don't like them tonight, however.

    In all seriousness, Elmander's performance on Tuesday left Hughton no choice. If Elmander keeps it up I can see him becoming a bit of a legend

    I'm guessing Olsson must have picked up a knock or something because he's not even on the bench.

    Oh yeah!

    Blind as a bat. That explains it then. To be fair to Garrido, sometimes he can be very solid and have a brilliant delivery, it's just that when we play badly as a team he always seems to take it one step further...

    Garth Crooks on the BBC has just now referred to Wolfie as "Wolf vansWinkel" <laugh>

    Can we please stop talking about "two strikers". It will just confuse people into thinking we are going to be playing 4:4:2. <ok>
