Match Day Thread Norwich v Leicester Friday 28 Feb ko 20.00hrs

Just in case we need a thread.
If not up to standard,feel free to ignore

Daniel Farke will be without Sam Byram, Onel Hernandez, Timm Klose and Christoph Zimmermann for Friday's visit of Leicester City.

Timm Klose (knee) is a long-term absentee but Farke thinks the Swiss defender isn't far away from a return to first-team action. His centre-back partner Christoph Zimmermann (hamstring) will miss a second game in succession.

Onel Hernandez (knee) has undergone surgery on a mensicus problems and Farke expects his winger to miss the next eight weeks.


There was particularly sad news on Sam Byram when Farke confirmed that his season is over after he picked up a hamstring injury in the defeat against Liverpool.

 

It's nice to see a good amount of injuries to our defence again, I missed those

 

I wonder if a tweet from Madders can tempt JM Fan out of retirement?

 

Decided (or weather did) not to go tonight.
As it's on Sky,its a night in with Mrs Bure.
I think its a big ask,but I would like to see Bendy and Vrancic make the team.
The 2 new boys have not really impressed after a good show at Newcastle.
I really hate Friday games.20.00 ko is a real pain.
At least next season,not so many odd days/times games.
Settle for a point.

 

Highly unlikely

 

How is JM Fan? Have you talked with him?

 

He's fine and enjoying not getting wound up on here

 

Excellent I was concerned because he just disappeared.

 

Lifted from the EDP:
NORWICH (4-2-3-1): Krul; Aarons, Godfrey, Hanley (C), Lewis; Tettey, McLean; Buendia, Duda, Cantwell; Pukki. Subs: McGovern (GK), Trybull, Vrancic, Stiepermann, Rupp, Drmic, Idah

LEICESTER (4-1-4-1): Schmeichel (C); Ricardo Soyuncu, Evans, Chilwell; Choudhury; Iheanacho, Praet, Maddison, Barnes; Perez. Subs: Ward (GK), Justin, Morgan, Gray, Tielemans, Albrighton, Ndidi.

REFEREE: Craig Pawson (South Yorks)

VAR: Graham Scott (Oxfordshire)

So Buendia starts.

 

No Vrancic

 

I wonder if Fahrmann’s wife’s comments have affected him not making the bench?

 

Maddison to score a dubious penalty after lengthy V.A.R decision awarded

 

Content imminent

 

Well,that must be a record.
No posts in 1st half.
As Delia would say "Where are you,lets be havin you"

 

Enjoyable game and good thread.

Nice one Bure

 

Not a bad first half. Foxes getting in the box several times. Krul having a good game and I don't remember him kicking long which is good. Todd looks good and also making some mistakes.

 

I know what you mean, I posted earlier on General Football and so far not one single response!

 

It's the only game in town Dave

 

Enjoyable match so far. Just needs a chance, but that could go either way. Keep your concentration City!
