Thompson and Pinto back in training, the latter will play for the U23s tonight. Oxborough has an injury from trying to stop a Pukki shot. So it'll definitely be McGovern on the bench this weekend. Might make things tighter on the home grown quota. McLean might have a fresh ankle injury, but Hernandez will potentially be back before the international break. Marshall could be involved tomorrow, more likely another week. Farke insists Tettey is a "young man" and can definitely manage a third game in a week.
There's no way she can get this free kick in. please log in to view this image (Yet another own goal, more like!)
Norwich City FC GOAL! An excellent strike from Oliveira as he fires the ball into the bottom corner from edge of the box! #ncfc NCFC 1-1 NUFC (33)
So, 2 goals from Basil gives the Under 23s a 2-1 victory!!! http://www.edp24.co.uk/sport/norwic...-1-newcastle-united-development-win-1-5706317
So Wigan claim a 1-0 victory in tonight's televised game. From the BBC report, it didn't seem like a very good game.

Guess the player from their foto-fit picture! I got 7 out of 25. Some these are truly abysmal! https://www.joe.co.uk/sport/quiz-pr...tter&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=onsite_share
Some interesting quotes from DF ahead of today’s televised game - “This time last season we were on a really, really good run and then perhaps an unlucky loss in the cup at Arsenal and it killed our momentum. It is not such a lesson for me as a coach because I have worked in this business since I was 18. Perhaps it is more the lads themselves, especially the ones who were playing in the Championship for the first time last season. To use each and every momentum to go further on and win points.” “To be rebellious against setbacks. Okay, if you have the feeling in a game you can’t win it towards the end, then don’t lose and take a point to keep the momentum.“A painful experience always helps you in the future.” #aintthatthetruth As DF says, we were on a really great run until the Arsenal replay and IMO, the fact that we so nearly made it and he played mostly players from the first team killed our momentum, but now he has players he trusts in the Carabao Cup, so I would expect quite a different team/squad when we play Wycombe. Edit - I see McLean may be a while longer before he returns to training/playing!!
Madders scores from a free kick and starts the play for another goal with a long pass to Vardy. I hope there were plenty of add-ons in that transfer deal.
As long as they included new trainers!! Edit - I'll be AMAZED if at LEAST one manager isn't sacked by Oct 1sr.
If you have not already seen the Villa goal from yesterdays game with Sheffield Wednesday - I urge you to do so now Contender for goal of the month without question, and likely goal of the season https://www.goalsarena.org/en/video...lla-1-2-sheffield-wednesday-championship.html
Considering the money spent by Villa, I'd expect them to be higher up the table and from some of the recent results, I think any team is capable of beating any other team excluding .......... Edit - Lafferty scores again for 'Gers!!!
