    Davies has been our best player but not having Hudd would completely change the way we dictate play, whereas a centre back has less impact on the football we play.

    i just have a feeling our GD could come into play.

    I don't think we will finish 17th but Not getting battered when we do lose can only help us imo.

    I agree - if/when Davies is out, we bring someone else in and hope for the best and it'll be a big dent in the team, but it won't fundamentally change our style and tactics. Without Thudd, and without anyone even approaching a like-for-like replacement, the team has to adapt their style quite a bit (as they did on Wednesday night).

    Davies has 3 yellows so far this season so he's 2 away from a 1 game suspension, unless he can stay clear until the amnesty which is normally the end of December.

    If I was a betting man I'd say it's likely he'll miss a game through this in December.....

    Yes i think i shall have a stake in that one. Well worth a tenner of anyones money.

    Playing the way we are then a top 10 finish is well on the cards. The top 8 teams now will be the top 8 at the end imo but just a case of who will finish in what slot.

    Norwich look to be all over the place and the £13.6m they have spent on Wolfswinkel and Hooper is reaping such good dividends atm. :wink: <whistle>

    Davies would be well and truly missed should he pick up a suspension/injury, but I think McShane & Faye have shown they can certainly fill in effectively so I wouldn't be too worried.

    I'm not worried about Davies having a spell out. All of our central defenders including A. Bruce can do a job. Both Faye and McShane have been awesome and more solid than Chester was before his injury.

    What makes our league position even better is that we have done it without the likes of Robert Joren - James Chester - Sone Aluko and Robbie Brady for some games. SB has a very able squad without a doubt.

    Ridiculously low odds more in line with a top 15 finish.

    Anyone worried huddlestone might start to burn out a bit, he hasn't exactly been playing 40 games a season so far has he? He may not, but i'm a pessimist and i'm waiting for a dip in form before i see where we might finish.

    I did notice a few, if not the majority, of his longer passing was missing that accuracy we have been use to. Hopefully just an off day. I do think Livermore is starting to stand his own ground in the centre of the park. I wouldn't at all be surprised if we struggle to sign him on a perm.

    We will finish 15 th

    We will improve a bit each seaonn

    We will stay in the premier league

    Small steps at a time..

    The Allams havent taken us this far to let it fall apart .

    Now if only we could get an extra 5,000 into the stadium....school age....students even unemployed on cheap £5...£10 tickets.

    Im sure theres loads more people out there that would come to games IF they could afford it

    We need some more capacity first.

    I would not worry about that. Hudds gets 2 weeks off after this weekend.

    I suspect that the coaching staff will make sure your concerns are not met.

    I also suspect that a few will get rested in January subject to who we draw in the FA Cup 3rd and 4th rounds.

    Norwich spend £13.6m on 3 strikers. Wolfswinkel - Hooper and Elmander.

    Result = 6 shots with one goal so far.


    ... and some people on here are having a go about Prozzy @ £2.6m. :emoticon-0116-evilg
