    It’s another early start (pay attention Donuts) with Norwich away to Watford, 12:30 kick off this Saturday.

    It’s Watford’s bad home form versus Norwich’s terrible away form. Watford are 2 places (and points) ahead of Norwich in the table having dropped away from the playoffs following a run of bad form including losses in the past three home games and gaining just 4 points from a possible 21 over the past 7 league matches.

    JHT still has multiple absences to deal with but, also has some positive selection headaches following convincing performances from both starters and subs in last weekend’s win over Swansea. The home fixture earlier this season was a significant 4-1 victory to the Canaries. Wouldn’t we love more of the same.



    More to follow…

    Great thread again Hairy and let's hope you're still in charge when it's over. As for the Tas time, how else would you like to spend your late Saturday night? ;)

    Squad update *Updated after press conference*
    Cordoba - IN - Returned for 20 mins last match
    Sorensen - IN - Returned for 30mins last match

    Hernandez - OUT - Slight knee issue
    Slimane - OUT - 1 week - Ankle injury - Targeting Derby
    Nunez - OUT - 1 week - hamstring injury - Targeting Derby
    Forsyth - OUT - 1-2 weeks - knee injury - Felt pain on return to training
    Forson - OUT - 1-2 weeks - knee knock - still feeling pain
    Gibbs - OUT - 3-4 weeks - hamstring injury
    Springett - OUT - 12 weeks - back injury - re-occurrence
    Jurasek - OUT - Will be registered Feb 3rd/Next game
    Sainz - Suspended - This is game 5/6

    *Mair - OUT - Returned to the club after breaking his finger.

    Hopefully I am reading too much into the end of the ending of the press conference, but JHT said he expected this to be the youngest bench yet, which would indicate that we may be without a senior member of the squad.

    How many transfer windows is that now that we have been saying that? I think you were still in short trousers DD.

    Best to just give up, like we did trying to buy a CDM.

    I'm still positive about Córdoba, but I also fear that injuries may hold him back like so many others we've recruited.

    Check the transfer rumour page :emoticon-0126-nerd: can’t say whether he is decent or not but he is a CB

    Stacey and Long the only players over 21 years old in the bench.

    Cordoba and Hernandez miss out. The latter has a slight knee injury, no word on Cordoba’s absence.

    AJ Bridge makes the bench for the first time and Aboh comes back in

    No Hernandez or Cordoba in the squad. Bridge, Djedje and Aboh on the bench. With Hills, Myles, Crnac and Chrisene as well this is quite possibly our youngest ever outfield bench.

    35 year old Sissoko against 19 year old Mahovo is going to be an interesting battle
