    So. Who do we think should a get a chance to come on
    Whilst a shame I get bringing on Mulumbu just to sit and keep everything tidy. It's good game management if not great for the squad.

    I'd like to see McGovern have a chance next and see if he can carry his Euros 16 form to the Championship.

    If it was a tight game, I totally agree. that's the smart choice.

    We walked that game. Josh should have come on, I def would have had Toffolo on the bench, I was close to wanting him to start today. So pretty much what you said. Good game management, but I don't think we will get many games as easy as that. When will we try these players apart from cup games. Opening day thrashing with Josh, Jacob and Toffolo playing. Would have been delicious icing on the cake. It's just a bit of a shame we couldn't take advantage of this game today to introduce them and see how they perform. Olsson might be injured for the next game. We will now probably play Whittless at LB, we could have seen Toffolo shine, and then claim a start in the next game. Suddenly 2 Championship games in a Norwich shirt for Toffolo.

    Bit hard FML. Whittaker came on because Olsson was injured. Mulumbu replaced Howson as a precaution and Pritchard came on for Wes top get some game time. Josh will get his chance.

    Been out all afternoon and just saw Jacob's goal - what a way to start the new season, for club, team and especially likely-to-be-peripheral player <applause>
    Staked a decent claim there, bors <ok>

    I really hope 5 have sorted out their highlights show. It was literally unbearable to watch last season.

    I watched it because I like football and wanted to see the Championship, League 1 and 2 highlights, we're not on MOTD this season but I will still watch that. Because I like watching who's going to win the league, who's going up or down, find it interesting.

    And I agree with ColkOfTheBarclay, I hope it's improved.

    I was just bored and figured watching a bit of football would entertain me. Oh how I was wrong.

    They had a bloody studio audience! And they just jumped around between the games and leagues. Plus they were "5" presenters so they only shared 1 brain cell between them and had ridiculous fake smiles and chipper attitudes. I really don't get what demographic they thought they'd be pulling in with football highlights but it felt like they were going for Big Brother watchers.

    As I said above, fair comment Colk, I must admit I watch any footy that's on before my bed time! I'll be shouting for Leicester tomorrow afternoon <ok>

    nah mate, that would be a really sad thing to do. It's on a par with having a 25th anniversary party for winning the 1st leg of a early round 2 legged cup game! :emoticon-0140-rofl:

    Good win today for you boys today.:emoticon-0148-yes:

    I actually prefer Winter, it's so humid here in the Summer, at least if it's cold you can dress for it!

    Well, the good news is, we can disband and send home this "consultation committee" brought in to over see the transfer window. We showed this afternoon that we already have four 'prolific' strikers, so their work in this window is clearly done <ok> :emoticon-0112-wonde
