I'll take the plunge. Here goes..... Ruddy, Naughton, Barnett, De Laet, Tierney Fox, Johnson, Bennett, Hoolahan Morison, Holt Subs:- Rudd, Vaughan, Pilkington, R. Martin, C. Martin, Jackson, Surman HT = 1-1 City Possession = 49% No penalties this week (please, unless it's to us)
Ruddy Naughton, Barnett, De Laet, Tierney Fox, Bennett, Johnson, Hoolahan Morison, Holt Subs:- Rudd, Martin C. Martin R. Vaughan, Pilkington, Jackson, Surman H/T 0 - 1 City possession 47% Yes!!!!
Righty ho then, I'm going to be a bit contraversial here Ruddy Naughton Barnett De Laet Tierney Crofts Johnson Surman Hoolahan Morison C.Martin Rudd R.Martin Fox Pilkington Bennett Holt Vaughan 1-1 47% No
That is controversial Dazz. Have we ever left out Holt if he is fit, available and it is a league match? As well as Chrissy Martin did last week, a Norwich attack without Holt has always been so toothless over the last couple of seasons. That's not to say you aren't right Dazz but I just cannot see it happening... yet!

Ruddy Naughton, Barnett, de Laet, Tierney Johnson, Bennett, Crofts Hoolahan, Holt, S Jackson Subs: Rudd, R Martin, Fox, Surman, C Martin, Morrison, Vaughan That's the team I'd go for anyway, though I fear Jacko won't get a start and would expect Vaughan to play if he's fit. Anyone know anything about Pilkington and how long he's out for? I'm assuming he's injured, hope it's not for long though as he looks quality in the little that I've seen of him so far. 1 - 1 47% Of course there's going to be a penalty, think it might be our turn this week though
I hope I'm very wrong and he gets a hat-trick, but he didn't look up to it against West Brom and as Hoolahan found out, PL isn't afraid of dropping his stars. That being said Bolton's style of play may suit him down to the ground. Who knows.
