    Seeing as we are going into a tough-ish Premier league game with no centre backs; the best chance we have is to go all out attack. Keegan-esque.

    Norwich will no doubt stick 2 up front including Big Grant Holt in the view to bully our make shift full backs. Let them. Norwich aren't the greatest team in the world defensively, so I want to see us hit them on the break as many times as possible and get in behind them whenever we can.

    I'm looking forward to a 3-2/4-3 thriller in our favour...I dont want to see a 2-0, 3-1 submissive defeat like the bad old days.

    Howay the lads. Could be a classic.

    :D

    With our injuries, i think people are focusing on how will we hope at the back. But we should be focusing on threatening their goal and attacking constantly. Play to our strengths and in the current state, attacking is our main positive.

    I love how you spelt defence two different ways in the same sentence.

    You obvs don't watch many Norwich games do you. They start Morison up front, with Pilkington, Bennett and Johnson behind him. Holt and Hoolahan are the Shola-esque super-subs.

    I think Morison and Ba will definately score. This game has plenty of goals in it.

    Morison has scored in 4 out of the last 5 games and Ba is consistent with his ability to find the net.

    Was going to say this. I doubt Holt likes it, but he's lost his starting spot, and there's no point in planning the defence to protect against Holt.

    Sort of agree. Some people have been suggesting a more defensive formation but the last thing we want to do is invite pressure onto a makeshift defence. Norwich seem fairly well organised but I think they'll struggle to contain Ba, Ben Arfa, Gutierrez and Obertan so we should try to get them on the back foot.

    Well no I cant say I watch Norwich every week, but I am aware he has been on the bench recently.

    But if I was Norwich manager, I would look at Simmo and Perch and say...Get Holt in their and bully them.

    Will wait and see.

    Just to confirm, Grant Holt does start. Obviously.

    Didnt take Jose Mourinho to work that one out.
