    Norwich Starting XI: Ruddy; E Bennett, Martin (c), Turner, Olsson; Johnson; Howson, Surman; Hoolahan; Lafferty, Hooper.

    Quite like the look of that. Bennett and Olsson at full back to provide width, compensating for the diamond midfield. Surman in the role he made his own the last time he was with us in the championship.

    Pretty exciting team, diamond, pacey attacking full backs. Little and large strikers. I assume Howson us playing right side of the diamond. I like it all to be honest.

    Best part is we could, and probably will, play a different but similarly strong XI of the players not starting.

    Presumably second half with Grabban? Would like to see us try a 4-3-3 second half, just for a bit of variety.

    Sam Habergham, one of our academy products, starts for Braintree tonight. Used to wipe the floor with me at table tennis.

    I would sell my house for it work out for RVW, I genuinely think he is a good guy and can come good for us.

    I reckon the second hale will look more like a flat 4-4-2 with RvW and Grabban up front with Pilks/Murphy and Redmond on the wings.

    Goinf well by the look of things, good to see Lafferty scoring a free kick as deadfall situations could have suffered after losing Snoddy

    Standard 4-4-2 lots of pace, maybe slightly less creativity
