Match Preview;
Norwich won their last match, 2-1, against Millwall. This ended a four match win-less streak that started with their 3-0 loss at Loftus Road at the beginning of December. Since that loss, they've draw one and lost three. When we last played them they were five points off the playoffs and now they are eight points off the top six, only four points ahead of us, and firmly mid-table. Here's hoping we can further capitalise on their drop in form and steal a point or three this Sunday.

As for us, I'll start with a moan, and move onto another moan. Yesterday I watched, from start to finish, but totally lost interest shortly into the second half and played a board game with the kids with half an eye on the match in the background. So negative, and set up to play on the back foot from the start. One up front clearly doesn't work, so why stick with it? Even if we play a youngster up front as a second striker, and give them experience, I'd rather that to eleven behind the ball and inviting pressure. It is infuriating to watch, I can't imagine how those who put in the effort (and expense) to make the trip felt. Hats off to you. Another moan, this one directed to whichever non-footballing jobsworth sets the fixtures...Swansea City away on Boxing Day, then Norwich City away on the 29th...way to make life hard for supporters. 160 miles to Swansea yesterday, then 126 miles to the far east on Sunday. Means supporters spending up to 13 hours driving in the space of four days...ridiculous.

Team news and pre-match comments to go up when/if on the official. Enjoy it if you are making the trip, hope you enjoy, and as always...

...COME ON YOU SUPER HOOPSA!!!

Cheers Dave.

Still in shock after the utter ****e served up yesterday. Surely we can’t be so poorly set up again?

But I’ve bought my train tickets for the Watford game, and will check in to the dementia clinic shortly afterwards.
 
Feels very likely we’ll get pumped and our record without Cook speaks for itself. One prays Cifuentes has something up his sleeve but three points from these next two will be more than fine for me.

Please just have a go. We had a go at them a few weeks ago and they were ****.
 
As with last time, we will do it for Col.

Unlike last time, doing it means being at 0-0 after 15 minutes rather than actually getting close to winning the game.

Would bite your hand off if offered a point right now. Just want to see us have a proper go. We can't count on them losing their **** again.
