MATCH THREAD - Norwich v Bury (Capital One Cup)

Not sure if we generally do them for Cup matches, but it´s here for anyone who wants it, and anyway I seem to remember the last time I did one of these, we came away with a good win, so see if I can´t wake them from their slumbers again.

We should bury those
From Bury and close
Their Cup adventures for this year,
But oh dear, these nights
Do often bring frights
When lower league workers appear

It´s part of the game
And always the same
When Premier teams are drawn at home,
That those with no shout
If we don´t watch out
Can spring a surprise when they come

And Mr. Blackwell
At Leeds for a spell
Will be telling his folk the same,
With nothing to lose
They´ve not much to muse
About, going into this game

While here at our end
A good win would send
Us happily on to the Saints,
Where, with a repeat
Three points on the sheet
Would leave most here with no complaints

With some still to blood
This year, ´twould be good
To see Hooper, Bassong et al,
As part of the team
Who go out and -
roll Bury, and be sensational

With Luton in mind
We shouldn´t be blind
To just what can happen sometimes,
But if, in this fray
We turn up and play
Then hopefully everything rhymes. OTBC

 

Nice one RBF, if this works, you'll have to do all cup match threads

 

Going to be in the Jarrold tonight, hoping to see if our squad is as deep as we hope!

 

Well on recent year´s form I shouldn´t be too overworked then, was rather fancying a long Cup run this year, but after seeing how ´well´ Swansea have started, I´m not so sure now.

 

That's true but they were against two big teams and the Swans coped quite well with their European opponents!

 

Surely we've got to play better than against Luton, surely...surely...

 

lol, I think any performance would be an improvement on that, "Luton Town became the first non-league team to knock a top-flight side out of the FA Cup since 1989". Not a record to be proud of CH!

Hope we do better than our cup match against them under Rodent

 

@NorwichCityFC: #ncfc team v @buryfcofficial: Bunn; Martin, Bassong (c), R Bennett, Olsson; Snodgrass, Fer, Johnson, Pilkington; Hoolahan; Elmander.

That's a better team than we played at the weekend.

 

Look like a good team we're putting out and giving some players a chance to get some match fitness.

Wow kick in the teeth for butterfield, not on bench for a league cup game

 

Who is on the bench ?

P.S. Unsurprisingly I can't find a stream of the game anywhere from the usual suspects, anyone else had any joy ?

 

@NorwichCityFC: #ncfc subs v @buryfcofficial: Nash (GK), Whittaker, Turner, Howson, Redmond, Becchio, van Wolfswinkel. Good luck lads!

 

I can't see a stream either but I suppose that's to be expected.

 

Well that team SHOULD be far too strong for Bury but no doubt Hughton will flood the midfield and play one up front all game just to make sure we don't lose

 

I really don't get people whining about playing one striker, it's a formation/system that can work well.

 

Any stream guys?

 

Is it live on Radio Norfolk?

 

Ordinarily I would agree, however we are playing League 2 (Division 4), Bury this evening with all due respect to them. After Saturday the crowd will want to see flowing attacking football and plenty of goals. Somehow I doubt we will see either but I hope to be proven wrong.

 

Yes
