    For a view from the outside, this entry on the BBC made me grimace (at it's complete accuracy):

    Sadly, Norwich's season has turned into something of a nightmare.

    They've lost their last five Premier League matches without scoring - and are three points from safety at the bottom.

    The only way is up.

    2 up front - interesting. I guess he has to try anything and everything to try and salvage something from the season.

    No Sargent or Cantwell in the squad

    Yeah, interesting (though he has already said Cantwell is "unwell", right?)

    If this were Yes Minister, Sir Humphrey would call that a 'brave' teamsheet, Head Coach.

    I am really not sure about 442!

    I would say: bold...

    Fingers crossed that fortunate favours


    (EDIT: The Beeb thinks it's a 4-3-3 with Placheta and Idah either side of Pukki - that's probably right actually)

    Rashica in midfield, you mean?

    Well, our fans think we're going to score 3 or 4, so I'm going for 0-1.

    And why did Smith say Cantwell was fit and ready to play? It makes him look a fool.

    I was debating with myself whether to bother watching tonight or whether to go to bed. But this line-up has the fascination of a car crash, just to see how bad it will get.

    The defence has looked so bad so far.

    Some dodgy defending but we seem to have some energy going forward for once. Idah doing well but still lacking that final decision making prowess.

    Sounds jittery on RN, but holding out.
