Nothing to do with any CPL threads, but I see the Pink'un have a 'pick your team for Fulham' feature http://www.pinkun.com/norwich-city/pick_your_norwich_city_team_to_face_fulham_1_4057118 So, does he rest a couple based on the enormity of the next few games (Wes and Tettey spring to mind) or really 'go for it' so we have at least a winning momentum to take into the play-off first leg? I'd be inclined to suggest Andreu and Vadis for Wes and Tettey. Possibly bring Garrido in to give Olsson a breather. Sadly, thanks to Grabban's stupidity and petulance, it seems Jerome is pretty much nailed on to start, despite having been a shade off the boil, lately. Or will Hooper get the nod ahead of him - I can't see them both starting. What does anyone reckon?
My thought was start with Hooper plus a midfield 5 and swap with Jerome around 60 mins. I'd actually keep Olsson in but push him forward. I'd like to see him in an attacking left wing role with Garrido behind. Some of his crosses have been superb this season when he's ventured forward. Nothing like a bit of tinkering ahead a couple (hopefully 3) critical games.
I like the sound of this, plus he'd be willing and able to track back and help Garrido out if needed.
Tony Andreu the new Fabregas hasn't featured much plus Gladys and Miquel were bloody expensive to never be played. Not to mention the class of 2013 youth champions . Loza needs a start.
I don't see Hooper being stuck out on top by himself. Reckon we might get something more like a 4 4 1 1 with Loza furthest forward, with Howson and Vadis in the middle perhaps. Probably Redmond and Johnson the other midfielders, with Bennett partnering Bassong, Martin RB and Olsson the other side.
