Grabban came on ahead of Afobe, and Callum Wilson is now their number 1. Cheeky bid for Afobe anyone?

I also notice that Danny Ings isn't even making it into the Liverpool squad, surely worth inquiring
I thought about Ings the other day. Is he definitely back fit? I think if there was a sniff of him being available, I'm pretty sure Burnley would be back in for him.
 
Brief interview (which I can't embed here, sorry) on Michael Bailey's twitter with him and Paddy D discussing selection for tomorrow. AN giving nothing away at all.
So, will it be the old guard like Turner, Bassong, Whittaker etc or should it be used to give Toffolo, Maddison, Godfrey some game time at a meaningful level?

Surely he MUST give game time to Toffolo, Maddison, Godfrey
 
I will be really annoyed if those young guns don't get a run. I'd like to see players like Cantwell on the bench. Maybe Morris starting up front. Maybe Josh on the left, try and get his confidence up. Start Maddison against his old club. Gotta be hasn't it?!
 
Has AN said if Pritchard is fit enough to play yet!? He can't get in the team soon enough. His delivery from the Right, and Brady's from the left would be fantastic.

Not heard anything on that score, but I'm sure he's not fit yet. See my comment on the MTD earlier.

Nice positive preview of tonight from a Coventry perspective:

"There is almost nothing about this tie that suggests that we can win it. Playing away with a paper-thin and half-fit squad against a team flush with Premier League parachute payment money and a squad packed full of exciting young talents determined to prove a point. As we demonstrated against Bradford on Saturday, we can’t even sit back and grind out a win even if we do manage to nick a goal at the other end."

They haven't seen us attack.

Or defend.


.....Or pass...

I see AN is keen to find out why he has so many players on the injured list -http://www.edp24.co.uk/sport/norwich-city/norwich_city_chief_aims_to_get_to_the_bottom_of_injury_jinx_1_4667461
He's also saying that some of them should be back in training in the next few days, so let's hope that includes Pritchard.

Edit - I see Big Sam may recall JT and has suggested Hart signs for another club if he wants to play for England.

Allardyce talking about recalling JT sums up the main reason why I didn't want him as England manager in the first place
