It's an early Kick off for 10th placed Norwich (47pts) as we visit Rovers who currently occupy 6th (51pts) City's recent form (W D L D W) - 8 points from 15 vs Blackburn's (W L W W L) 9 points from 15 looks like two teams coming together for what most of the bookies are calling as a draw. However, Ewood Park has been a happy hunting ground for the Canaries and we haven't lost there in seven outings (6W 1 D). Cantwell may well be injured for this one, so our once feted midfielder may once again look on and wonder what might have been... Last week's poll on whether we would reach the Play offs was 66% in the nays - will the outcome of our last result and Sargent's rallying call change any 606er's hearts/minds? Knapper reckons we are about where we should be, given all the changes that have occured in the last 12 months - good read on the BBC about his current feelings OTBC and cheers to all.
Our early kick off results make a good read so fingers and toes crossed-all 24 of them (according to people outside Norfolk)
Press conference today very early in the week! Last weekend was our 18th midfield combination Mclean, Nunez, Sainz and Sargent haven't featured in the same team since October! Squad update *Updated after Press Conference* (RW) Dobbin - IN - Was brought off as a precaution at half time last week, has been resting this week (CM) Marcondes - POSSIBLE - Will go through testing this week and make a late call to see if he can be in the squad. (RW) Jurasek - OUT - 1 week - Slight thigh issue, should return to training next week, targeting a return following game - Oxford 7th March (CM) Mclean - OUT - 1 week - Has an infection, targeting a return following game - Oxford 7th March (CM) Forson - OUT - 2-3 weeks - knee knock - Back in training, targeting a return following game - Oxford 7th March (CM) Forsyth - OUT - 3-4 weeks - knee injury, targeting return after international break (CM) Gibbs - OUT - 3-4 weeks - hamstring injury, targeting return after international break (RW) Springett - OUT - 12 weeks - back injury - re-occurrence (GK) Mair - OUT - Returned to the club after breaking his finger.
Like the bookies I can't see past a drawer myself, they've let in an average of 1 per game. Now I've said that we'll probably stuff 5 past them to make me look like a plonker!
Pink'Un quote Ishmael as saying Cantwell trained yesterday and, unless he suffers a reverse in training today, is expected to be available for the game.
Just saw this on the head to head bit of the BBC’s preview and it is really telling about our season… We could have been joint second if we protected goals scored…
