Well this thread work has come round far too quickly, because we keep on losing. Norwich are on an awful run with five straight defeats, disgruntled fans and a season where there was hope for a playoff push and perhaps promotion becomes one of trying to save themselves in the league and sit 23rd with only one team below them. Norwich's large injury list doesn't help, but with a lack of creativity is there much hope for a side that last won at the end of August? Hull on the other hand are unbeaten in 5 and currently sit just outside the playoffs in 8th position, they too however have many injuries to contend with. Don't worry though if on the pitch woes are not good enough, fans are peeved by the reallocation of seats and are urging each other to lob tennis balls onto the pitch in protest against the reallocation of the away supporters. My personal view is I like the away fans where they have been for years, why change it?
Quality thread as usual buddy, now is the time to start climbing up the league. You can do it buddy, I hope the team can also
Having not made the last home game, I decided a few weeks ago to get tickets for Saturday, in the hope at the time that things may have improved by now! Part of me is struggling with enthusiasm to make the journey and potentially endure another difficult afternoon, but I'm going and though there is likely to be frustration, I'll support the team through the good and the bad. I'll sing and shout my heart out on Saturday as best I can even if I currently feel indifferent right now. COYY
A team playing reasonably well (us) against a team struggling (you) I can guarantee that 'typical City' (us) will not win. In fact this will be the game that gets your season back on track.

Duffy back in for 90 mins, and a return to a back 5? I mean it's like Manning is trying to get sacked. (Very ready to eat my words...)
