A long old trip for Norwich's away fans awaits them as they travel to bottom of the table Plymouth this Saturday. Plymouth will be desperate for points to try and haul themselves clear of the drop, though it is mathematically possible their situation must be close to terminal, saying that Derby were right down there and have won their last four to put them up to 20th. Norwich got a last gasp winner the previous game and it required some good saves from Gunn to make it so. It will be interesting to see how this one plays out with Norwich wanting to breath life into their playoff chances and Plymouth knowing it is now or never for their great escape plans.

Looks like we were right to sell them Mumba for the reported £1m. He has, seemingly, not progressed since joining them.
There could be a perfect storm this weekend according to whoscored, with Plymouth's key strength of coming back from losing positions, combined with Norwich's key weakness of protecting a lead.

Oooof, one of the 6 opponent teams who've conceded more goals than us this season. Great stat from Beeb "Of Norwich’s last 36 Championship goals, only six have them been scored away from home. Just 26% of their goals have been scored on the road (16/61) with only Plymouth scoring a lower percentage (8/40, 20%)" We're only 1 point better off over the last 5 games, that said I do expect us to win, by an odd goal
That's true, but 3 of our last four games were at home, while only 2 of Plymouth's last 5 games were at home. This is going to be a really tough game as they have to win it to keep their chances alive.
I thought their number 6 was called slugs for a second, wondered if he was super slow or the ball stuck to him whilst dribbling or something
Jurasek drops out of the squad again, apparently due to an injury picked up in training. Is this Bridge’s first time in the squad?
How is Stacey offside there? There is 2 to touches from Plymouth players before it even reaches him. Marcondes then chopped down from his pass, would have been a penalty
