So we will see our central defenders being unmercifully bullied by Barnes all afternoon and Grant Hanley and Co will enjoy their afternoon bullying our strikers.
Another long afternoon for Stoke and a regulation win for Norwich.
This will continue to occur until we sign a dominant leader at centre back and a battle hardened goalscorer to lead the line.

A lot of those 'shit' signings Norwich made earlier in the summer do have the potential to bully our players today.
The next two games would include Wesley for me to keep a bit of physicality.
Big tests for the squad this week, really excited.
Two 1-0 wins with Vidigal getting both.

Win, lose or draw, I'm excited to watch us play. Plenty of talented players in our squad who will only get better.
Come on Stoke!

Norwich score plenty but are capable of letting a few in. Bit like us. High scoring entertaining game I think.
Good luck to the Mighty Potters!

We need as much pace and movement up front as we can get, in and around Hanley and Batth. Wesley will be meat and drink to the pair of them.
Pace and movement will frighten the life out of them.
I'd be tempted to play a three of JunHo, Campbell and if fit Vidigal, if not Haksabanovic.

I agree with you. We need a " strangler " Taggart type to send a clear message out to anyone thinking of bringing it on.

I predict a big win or big loss today, just have a feeling.
If we get an early goal I can see us winning 3-0

Aren't we all positive today?
Were a team with bags of potential,that has not gelled yet so anything could happen.
An away defeat isn't the end of the world, neither is a good win a sign were going to ace the league.

The transfer team did an amazing job in assembling the squad over the Summer, and they are to be congratulated. However I can't believe that after all that effort and excitement we didn't apparently fill the two positions on the pitch that most supporters identify as key! Firstly a commanding central defender and leader, especially one who is good in the air, being a strong fearless header of the ball at either end. Secondly a strong bustling aggresive forward to lead the attack and act as a target man. We had weeks to address these priorities without success and I think that this failure will come back to haunt us.

We had weeks to address these priorities without success and I think that this failure will come back to haunt us. We obviously missed out on two players for those positions late in the window. We were even keeping number 9 shirt for the forward (guess it was Stewart). The question is were we better to keep our powders dry or to panic and buy compromises. I think we did the right thing. It will be a big ask to get promoted this year and Neil has enough unknowns without adding more. We don't want to be lumbered next season with players who are not as good as we were hoping for. We have options and it is up to the players we have to prove they are good enough.

Maybe we were looking to fill those areas but we were unable to get the deals done in time.

Is it sunny? 🌞
They call Carrow Road the 'snake pit' don't they?
I was there on a similarly hot day which may have been Shaquiri's debut. It finished 1-1 and Butland pulled a string of miracle saves.
You will need sun glasses, that combination of canary yellow and green everywhere particularly in the sunshine is INTENSE!
