please log in to view this image Courtesy of Sky Sports Sheffield Wednesday will be without suspended defender Joe Mattock for their home game against Norwich on Saturday. Mattock received his fifth booking of the season in the goalless midweek draw at Brentford and sits out a one-game ban and boss Stuart Gray may be forced to drop Jeremy Helan into the left-back slot, while Claude Dielna could come into contention. Gray has been dealt a blow with confirmation midfielder Sam Hutchinson will be sidelined for up to two months due to a fresh knee injury sustained in last weekend's home defeat to Watford. Kamil Zayatte (hamstring), fellow defender Lewis Buxton and striker Caolan Lavery (both knee) remain sidelined. Norwich will be without playmaker Wes Hoolahan after scans confirmed ankle ligament damage which will sideline him for several weeks. Northern Ireland striker Kyle Lafferty is also absent through suspension after receiving his fifth yellow card during Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Leeds at Carrow Road. Dutch defender Jos Hooiveld is available again after a knee injury while boss Neil Adams could make changes following a four-game winless run in the league. Lewis Grabban and Bradley Johnson will hope for recalls while striker Gary Hooper is pushing for a start after two substitute appearances in the last week. Well as no other f**er can be bothered to make one i feel at liberty to chuck something together for tomorrow so. please log in to view this image Jos Hooiveld is back in action and will probably come into the heart of the defense to try and sure things up as we just simply don't do clean sheets this season, the big Dutchman has shown glimpses of quality but so far he hasn't been as good as i hoped . Captain Russel Martin should revert to his natural right back position so Whittacker will probably be the one to miss out. please log in to view this image Cameron Jerome had a frustrating night on Tuesday picking up a yellow card and fluffing a few chances again so maybe a rest on the bench tomorrow would do him good. Gary Hooper has finally returned to fitness and will be pushing for a start and hopefully he will begin banging them in as we are looking terribly goal shy of late this is now becoming our main concern. please log in to view this image Howson started last match and was looking like the player we know and love with some good link up play with both wings i imagine Adams will start him again as Hoolahan is injured with an ankle injury. Another problem for Adams is who to use as a holding midfielder both Tettey and Johnson have gone off the boil so perhaps a start for our versatile Belgian vadis odjidja-ofoe will shake things up . please log in to view this image Josh Murphy has been very good lately and deservedly started against Leeds but i personally think he would be best used from the bench this time. please log in to view this image Now another player that Adams has yet to give a run in the side is Oneil he is vastly experienced in this division and could be the man to make us tick . please log in to view this image We have failed to win our last 4 games now and the goals have dried up so a win against a misfiring Wednesday would be a real tonic and help to silence Adams critics. Being a very superstitious man even making this thread is painful after my other 2 failed attempts but hopefully we can get a result this time around. Finally the cat playing piano trend may bring us luck and if not a welcome distraction from the negative grumblers that seem to want Adams to fail so i will be sporting a cat Avatar for this game . Thai and Gandy have followed suit so let's hope it helps us break this horrible run of luck. Below is the head to head .otbc. 2008/2009 Sat 04 Apr Norwich City 0 - 1 Sheff. Wed.

I have a feeling that the locals are boycotting the thread like a Tesco's Metro in Swaffham Gandy... Also my thread about Resurgam was genuine i thought he may have flounced off ,all the fall out this morning had diddly **** all to do with me so i'm glad it was closed.
Todays team.. #NCFC team v @swfc : Ruddy; Whittaker, Martin (c), Turner, Olsson; Tettey; Howson, Johnson; Odjidja; Jerome, Grabban. #NCFC subs v @swfc : Rudd (GK), Hooper, Hooiveld, Miquel, Josh Murphy, Redmond, O'Neil. I'll start the Mexican wave then..
Could play 4-2-2-2 with that line up! Johnson Tettey Holding, Vadis and Howson further forward and little wider. It'll probably be the Diamond though.
Wiziwig are linking to this... http://www.wiz1.net/channel38 . We'll know about two or three mins before kick off I guess.
Sky has it as 4-1-2-1-2 ? Don't like it my self. All looks very narrow, like we're setting up not to lose rather than win ?
