Don’t think this is a game for Cundle. Too lightweight. Football in general, or just Norwich specifically? 😂 Could try gymnastics maybe

Norwich 3rd in the form table over the last 10 games. They are but they lose a lot of away games

Norwich are in good form. Todays win means a draw won’t be the end of the world. They haven’t won away since early December and like most teams in this god forsaken league, they are rubbish. Danny Baath started for them at the weekend for crying out loud.

He didn't actually start Dave, came on at half time, but I take your point 😉.

Presume Thompson in for Burger Will he stick with wing backs? Possibly not as he won't want Norwich to dominate midfield Concerned we still look like we can't score but think would give Campbell another start Draw won't be a disaster imo Hopefully Thompson but unfortunately think will be Paul Bunyan No reason we can't beat them but Burger a massive loss

Difficult this one? Do we go with the middlesboro approach or play with 3 centre backs again? Personally I don’t think that Norwich are any better than middlesboro, so to go at them with the crowd behind the team, may be the better option? We desperately need our forwards to score a couple though!
Would be happy with a point.

The table says they are better and they will be more motivated than Boro as play offs very achievable but understand and agree with what I think you mean Quality in this division is Leeds, Leicester and Southampton and maybe Ipswich, everyone else can look very Ordanairy

The way Schumacher talked about Pearson in his post match Leeds interview it will definitely be Pearson that replaces Burger next week When he talked about Pearson it was in a before the s/o took place kind of way. He can't have been pleased with a player that he seemingly had already given up on, then allowed the player to come back and do well, and then he's rewarded with anti-team behaviour from that player. So I would think with that post-match Schuhmacher was not all that keen on playing him again. But Schuhmacher has had a face to face talk with Pearson, who's promised to behave better. It would require the best of belief in your fellow man to think that that is what'll be happening, but with Burger out Pearson is much better suited for a deeper role than Thompson who needs someone alongside him. That is of course unless Pearson is chopen to be the one alongside Jordan (and then they both are sent off)...

I haven't followed his career close enough to answer that question but any player who gets 10 cards is a walking card. I think he's a little clumsy (gets booked for waving an imaginary card, for instance) and gets some of his cards that way. He's not a troublemaker. Apologies for making a joke about the sendings off. It was just my gallow sense of humour coming up again.

Wow averaging a yellow card just less than every 3 games for Pearson, that has got to be up there with the worst record in any league you would think.

The system last week somehow afforded Goochie all the space in the world to cause havoc, I can only assume it was because of how PNE set up. So I would not mind if he went with the same team, albeit with Thommo in for Burger. 3-4-3 Surely we could revert to a 4-3-3 if needs be? I just think we look a bit more solid starting as above.

I think we've looked more solid with three at the back.
It would be good to see Mmaee on the bench - another sign we've turned a corner and the dressing room is in a good place. (And before anyone else says it - south facing windows and not too far from the pitch.....)

I wouldn't bother with a team talk pre match, just pin Wagner's comments from his press conference on the wall and tell the team to shove them right back down his throat👍

Similar record to Lee Cattermole (unsurprisingly) 119 yellow, 9 reds in 328 games. Sergio Ramos has an impressive 215 yellow, 19 reds in 649 games

Something along the lines of if they get it right tactically and technically, Stoke won't be able to match us.

Thought the same, bit of an arrogant comment from one of their reporters. They're in good form but anyone can beat anyone on their day in this league as we know. The comment(s) certainly didn't come from Wagner though.

Interesting to see their away form. Last 6 games they have only won 1, scoring 6 and conceding 9. Score two on Saturday and there is a good chance we walk away with three points.
Let's get leathered in to them early doors. 👍
