EstoniaTallinnRed Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Here I am ready for the first late night game of the season (I was in another part of Estonia last Tuesday, so had to keep up with the forum on my phone) don't forget we are 2 hours in front of the UK here. I really hope we will get something out of this game, but my head says 2 - 0 to Norwich, please let me be wrong, as I usually am with match predictions, but COYRs!

Phileas Fogg Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Glad to see Pack and O'Neill, like the look of that team - shown as a 4231 on the Twitter picture they post.

cityexile Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) Blimey. Worried about Little, and two up front with Tomlin. Pack in for Brownhill which feels right. Not messing about. Hopefully he feels it is the best team rather than just trying to fit three in to two. Thought Kodjia was in <insert minor premier league side here>. edit - if the graphic is right, maybe it is one up front with Kodjia on the right. Could just work...

TheCulturalBomb Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Would be gobsmacked if this is anything less than a loss. Arguably the best team in the league and will open us at ease, considering how average the defence has been in terms of allowing goalscoring chances. Not goals but play in and around the box we have been lucky.. Need to start getting possession on our side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibor Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 That shape looks better to me than the first few games, Tomlin is definitely wasted out on the left. It's quite ambitious for Norwich away and the right side looks weak defensively. I'd have probably started Matthews and brought Little on against more tired players if needs be. We could have played O'Dowda right wing, Bryan left and Golbourne left back to be more solid but I think it's a line up that will cause some problems for Norwich if we can get on the ball enough.

Nobody expects us to get anything so why not go for it. The way some folks are talking, you'd have thought we should be playing 9 defenders and 2 keepers. I'm sure Norwich are decent, but we can't show them too much respect. It's a free hit, in many ways; we're expected to get tanked, so why not come out swinging? At least it isn't Derby away last year; we played an incredibly defensive side and got beaten up. Here, if we get done we've clearly given it a shot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidercity1987 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Dont particularly like the look of that line up...
