Do we start with the same 11 (albeit Wilson may be out of the reckoning now)
Wilkinson and Shotton as full backs?
Jerome using his speed to link with Crouch in attack (at the expense of Etherington)?
Adam to start? - quite a few wayward passes and shots yesterday, but nevertheless prepared to take a shot
Personally I'd go with the same starting 11 (Wilkinson for Wilson if need be)

Yes. Definitely not Cameron at fullback.

We will not beat Norwich next week. It'll be a 1-1 draw if we're lucky.

I would. The difference yesterday was that we actually got players up around Crouch. Jerome was playing on the shoulder and could use his pace to get in behind. Charlie Adam, although very hit and miss was always making himself available and was never too far from Jerome and Crouch. All we did yesterday was simply play 20 yards further forward. No surprise that we looked a lot better for it.

We will not beat Norwich next week. It'll be a 1-1 draw if we're lucky. That's the spirit. Personally I think we will. There is a new mindset in the team, it's like a whole new focus.

Yes definately. Let's keep it simple. After yesterday and seeing there celebrations I think they think they're safe already. Let's go for it an early goal would be great.

No surprise that we looked a lot better for it. Spot on Plus we looked better balanced (Adam on the wing aside) but he needs to be in the side to give us the "go forward" that we'll need at home to Norwich. Jerome's pace is vital for us and didn't Crouch enjoy that support!

Need to carry on where we left off yesterday, have a go at them, get the crowd behind the team, and the fact that its at home should swing it our way.
Their away form is pretty crap, though they do grind out the odd draw.
A scrappy relegation battle and a home win for me.
(I think I might have just written Lawros prediction for next week as well!)

Begovic Shotton Shawcross Huth Wilko Adam Whelan N'Zonzi Jerome Crouch/Jones Shea Tin hat on, I'd leave Walters in: again he worked tirelessly chasing back, won quite a few free kicks, had 2 very good shots on target and had the bottle to convert 2 penalties! Chasing back against the Norwich attack will be important imo so it's SJW to start

I'd start with Ethers if he's fit and bring Jerome on in the 70th minute

Post by Sammz on Apr 21, 2013 9:55:45 GMT
I'd defo start SJW as well. His battling qualities will be needed as it's going to be a proper tight scrap I reckon.

I forgot about Ethers it has to be him in for Jerome. The main thing is that Adam has to play.
If fit id go with
....................................Bego...............................
Shotts............Huth...................Ryan........Wilson or Wilko
.....................NZonzi................Whelan..............
...................................Adam..............................
................Walters......................Ethers..............
................................Crouch..............................

Ultimately, you can't be overly critical of him, as he has zero supply, but still contributes.

I thought if we could get a point yesterday, that would set us up nicely for the home game. Had we lost, it might have been too much pressure, but with a 6 point gap the players should finally get some confidence back and be looking forward to the next game.

Norwich are on record (somewhere) saying that they were relying on their home form to keep them up. I'm going for a 1-0 or 2-0 win. The lads will have gained some confidence from the win at QPR, and the crowd will be up for it too. I hope Pulis keeps faith with the pace Jerome adds up front. Defenders hate pace and it will make them nervous if he's playing. That automatically makes room for other players to find room. It isn't fucking rocket science.
OS.

Similar team against Norwich hopefully... What's the update on the Wilson hamstring? He was immense on saturday. That crunching tackle, and through ball to Jerome to set up the Crouch goal was ace. I hope he's fit, really hope he'll be fit for the remainder of the season... ..but if not, rather than wrong-footing Wilko at left back, or breaking G.Cam's respite... Could Kightly play there?
Cage and then crush the Canaries with progressive, pressing nogger...
-----------------Begovic--------------
---Shotton----Huth----Shawcross-----Kightly--
---------Whitehead----N'Zonzi-----------
---Walters-------------------------Adam---
----------Crouch----------Jerome------------
...and a brill bench: Whelan, Wilko, Jones, Owen, and so on...
just a bit of lateral thunking..

Just give us the 3 points so I finally can sit back and relax again! Being in the situation we have for a while is really painful! The win in London last week helped a lot though!
