    Preview: Norwich City vs. Bristol City - prediction, team news, lineups
    Norwich City and Bristol City meet in the Championship on Wednesday evening as two of the form teams in the division.
    The clubs, who occupy second and fourth position in the standings respectively, head into the fixture at Carrow Road on five and six-match unbeaten streaks
    Bristol City possible starting lineup:
    Bentley; Vyner, Naismith, Atkinson; Sykes, Scott, James, Dasilva; Weimann; Semenyo, Wells

    We say: Norwich City 3-1 Bristol City
    As the joint top goalscorers in the division, it would be naive to write off Bristol City ahead of arguably the most daunting trip in the division. Nevertheless, we cannot back against the Canaries, who are playing with confidence at each end of the pitch.

    Can see it being a high scoring loss, maybe 4-2 or similar

    Sergeant and Pukki are going to hopefully have off days or rip us to shreds

    Without a doubt this has to be major fixture in our season and we will need to be at our absolute best in all areas of the pitch if we intend to show the rest that Bristol City could be your toughest opponent of the season. How about that for once? Bring it on and I will be watching over my 7:00 a.m. coffee and just hope I don't get the usual shakes at 85 minutes. :emoticon-0105-wink:

    Without doubt, our defence needs to have a good solid day, no faffing about and lazy passes across the box. If we do that, which we are prone to, Pukki will tear us apart, as he did 2 years ago. Despite our great start, there are still only 2 sides in the division who have conceded more than us (with 8 other teams also on 11, to be fair), so it's obvious where the improvements are required, especially against teams like Norwich Watford, who have the ability to be very free scoring.

    We are very free scoring as well -give em some credit :emoticon-0138-think:emoticon-0138-think:emoticon-0138-think

    We need to outscore teams to win at present we are doing that.
    Get that defence right we are going to be in the mix.

    Been over on the Norwich site many have it down for a draw take that all day long.

    We now have, what I call a decent squad, small but effective....If NP gets the tactics right I can't see why we can't get a decent result..
    What is defiantly required is a good performance and I hope he doesn't set us up to sit back and allow Norwich to dominate as it could end up as a thrashing.... Over to you NP!!

    A win would be an achievment and I would love it but more than happy with a draw, we are worth it.

    bearing in mind 3 x 2-0 wins that means the other 5 games are GF 10 GA 11 GD -1 from 1 win 2 draws and 2 losses ... so the we need to outscore the opposition and forget about the goals conceeded is not that well fine tuned

    Bristol City predicted team vs Norwich City: Welcome selection headache means a midfield dilemma
    The Robins head to Carrow Road as the outsiders but are in fine form after going unbeaten in their last eight

    Bristol City predicted line-up (3-4-1-2): Bentley; Vyner, Naismith, Atkinson; Sykes, James, Scott, Dasilva; Weimann; Wells, Conway

    No Klose or Wilson on the bench.

    Good start with the high press and honestly we could have scored but we have fallen into the dangerous lapses of concentration at the back especially on the flanks.

    Spoke too soon as Pukki scores an easy goal from our lousy defending. Going behind so early is not a good omen.
