We need to go out relaxed,play with no fear and the realization that if we leave nothing out there and all give 100% we can beat Norwich.

Whether that will be good enough is down to Wrexham but we must play our part.

If we get into the play-off lottery through beating Norwich and/or other results going our way,the confidence levels will be higher than at any other point in the season and we should fear no-one!!!I

2-0 City...

Dare to dream, the way some pearl clutching ****ers on here go on it's their worst nightmare.
 
Coyle aside who is total dog ****...

I honestly think the midfield has killed us. No protection whatsoever for the defence, constantly cut through. Everyone loves alphabet and Slater, but they are part of the problem.

Slater gets all over tracking runners, cutting out passes and getting stuck in. The others don’t often. He can’t do it by himself but he and Amir worked pretty well together.
 
If you’re playing with wingers then of course you want two of them. You could say we’ve been too defensive so we should drop a centre half for Joseph? I also think a lot of people are forgetting that Joseph’s end product is no better if not quite a bit worse than Millars, and his build up play is nowhere near.

We need to score goals on Saturday, as many as we can. We need an on form and firing Millar not someone to do extra harrying and defensive work.

Is it though?

Miller has 3 goals and Joseph got 8. They've both got 5 assists.

I really wish Miller would stop shooting and focus on setting up someone who can hit the target.

I don't think anyone in the team is currently on "form and firing" but I do agree that's what we have needed the past six games.

I like Joseph and understand how he brings a lot to the team with good pressing, but I can't agree with people downplaying Millar or Belloumi. They've both popped up with goals and assists recently, I think Millar moreso than Belloumi in the last few games but I'd drop neither for Joseph. I'd play Joseph off McBurnie though for sure. He'd have the energy to press effectively and drop deep effectively as well. He's a more mobile, less skilful Crooks in theory. Slater next to Lundstram or Crooks in the middle.
For me it's not about downplaying Millar and Belloumi. Both are very good players at this level. . It's more about playing them both at the same time when we don't really have the strength elsewhere to allow us to play with 2 true wingers

I agree.

This team has a problem with how solid it is at the moment. Joseph helps with that and this is a game where if we put Norwich under pressure early they may just say '**** it'.

I'd be starting Joseph and bringing one of the wingers on in the second half if needed.
