    So away we go to Carrow Road hoping to continue our run in the EFL, AKA the Carabao Cup.
    Spirits downed by Saturday's loss can by upped by an emphatic win against the Canaries who also lost 2-1 at home to the Smoggies
    Ref: - Tom Nield
    Ref's Ass's:- Andrew Dallison and Jacob Graham
    Fourth Off: - Alex Chilowicz

    Anyone whose a betting person, every single game for Norwich so far has been 2-1. Just with us I don’t know which way round it’ll be.

    Feel free to wax lyrical in a poetic fashion Lambo
    Most of us are poets
    Most of us don't know it

    Strong team please. We desperately need to build some cohesion and we've got 15 days between games after Saturday.

    Would like Downs to get 90 minutes here.

    Agree, think I’d only really rest THB and Fraser in light of recent injuries/recoveries and go with

    Bazunu

    Quarshie
    Stephens
    Wood

    Roerslev
    Downes
    Charles
    Manning

    Fernandes
    Robinson

    Downs

    Call me mad, but I really think Downs will come good and be an important player for us.

    Yeah that looks good to me, though I assume Alex will be in goal.

    In goal let’s stick with Bazunu

    At RB Roerslev he’s new new
    Stephens at the back
    With Quarshie he’s whack
    And at left back Manning will Do (do)

    Charles and Fernandes Midfield
    JRob on the left we will wield
    And on the right
    To offer some fight
    Armstrong on the wing is revealed

    With Stewart and Downs up top

    So it's off to East Anglia
    For the Carabao cup
    After Saturday's **** show
    We can only look up

    We should win the game
    I say should, I mean might
    I fear more of the same
    Without showing some fight

    I want round pegs in round holes
    Our best starting eleven
    I want strikers to score goals
    And defenders to stop 'em

    Is it too much to ask
    For a comfortable win?
    Or too hard a task
    With the state we are in

    Saints have more than enough
    To progress in the cup
    But we'll find it too tough
    And **** it all up

    We'll lose 1 or 2 nil
    With a string of missed sitters
    And our fans will feel ill
    And probably bitter

    'It's early days yet'
    Is the common refrain.
    That's what I don't get
    Cos all teams are the same

    We've all had pre-season
    The same time to settle
    So what is the reason
    Saints don't show their mettle

    I might still be wrong
    And be eating my words
    But I think we will get done
    By some small yellow birds

    To Carrow Road

    So away we go, to Carrow Road,
    Hoping our EFL journey's owed.
    The Carabao Cup calls once more,
    A chance to settle Saturday’s score.

    Spirits damp from a weekend loss,
    But victory’s path we aim to cross.
    An emphatic win can lift the side,
    Against the Canaries, our hope, our pride.

    They too fell 2–1, at home they stayed,
    The Smoggies struck, their plans unmade.

    Officials for the fray tonight:
    Referee – Tom Nield in sight.
    Assistants – Dallison, Graham stand,
    With Chilowicz fourth, to lend a hand.

    Now that's what I call poetry. Can't but hope we knock the 'kinaries off their perch and Schrody eats his humble pie

    Yep, time to ditch 3 CBs. Still says he doesn't have the players for 4231 but judging from our first 4 games, he doesn't have the players for 3421 either.
