    Match preview;
    Norwich lost five and drew one in October and the beginning of November...Norwich got their first win since September 30th last time out against Cardiff. Even having lost four in a row in October, they still sit 16th with 20 points. Their top scorer is Jonathan Rowe with 8 goals so far. David Wagner was appointed in January 2023, and has been in charge for 40 games, 15 of which he has won, 7 he has drawn and 18 have been lost.

    As for us, we've drawn our last two, after Martí Cifuentes took over, ending a six game losing run. After the two week international break, there is certainly some expectation around this match as we hopefully see the fruits from the work done on the training field. I know this is obvious, but if Cifuentes can work out a way of bringing back the Willock of old, and reigniting the partnership he had with Chair...I think we'll be far from trouble very quickly, but two managers have tried and failed to get that sorted since some bloke whose name I can't remember left for Scotland...by the way, how did that work out for him? I know a few on here have a special place in your hearts for Norwich, so for you especially, hoping we get the win and a new era, under Cifuentes, begins.

    Jake Clarke-Salter has been back in training, Reggie Cannon is nearly back to full fitness and will have a last minute medical check and everyone returned from international break injury free. He mentioned one person who might still be injured, but I didn't catch the name.

    Enjoy if you are making the trip...and as always...COME ON YOU SUPER HOOPSA!!!

    Been to Norwich once. Devon White White White in a 2-3 win.

    Stopped off at Cambridge on the way up to see Kevin Gallen play for the youth team. He was simply an outstanding youth player. He was a man playing against boys. Going back a bit but good memories.

    Martí Cifuentes has been speaking ahead of Saturday's trip to Norwich after the international ...

    ''It’s been a very productive window. It’s not only the work on the pitch which has been useful, but also getting to know the players better.
    There are no new injuries to report. Reggie and Jake have both trained and we’ll evaluate them over the next few days to see if they are 100% ready.
    We’ve scored one goal in two games, it’s not enough. And we won't get far with draws. There is quality in the squad; it’s about getting the best out of the players.
    I don’t want to look back at games before my arrival. All I will say is that in the last two games I’ve seen a team trying to win.
    Norwich are a team with a strong identity, who like to play at a high tempo, so it will be really good challenge for us. They got a good win at Cardiff before the break so I’m sure they’ll be boosted by that.
    It’s not about how many points we can pick up next week or this season. Right now it's all about how we can win on Saturday.''

    This seems to be a common thought.
    There’s more than one person who feels this way…..
