Already parked up at the ground, bus to town for breakfast, sorted!

That's the way to do it!

Re: Awake and a Bit Excited

Yeah i actually think most of us would be fairly happy with say a 3 2 defeat in an open end to end game. I am sure the players would be applauded off for that.

The good thing about it being norwich is nobody expects anything. The bad thing is we could start with ng at centre half and realise norwich in the league is different to swindon in a pre season friendly and be 3 0 down in 20 mins......

Re: Awake and a Bit Excited

You rarely glean anything from the 1st couple of games, let alone the opening one, but today I think it's different.To say Norwich are going to be a test is putting it mildly. Swept away, struggling for pace and space, defence full of holes and disorganised, and our rare attacks petering out against a yellow wall of experience. On the other hand we could cause them problems, put them on the back foot at times, have our fair share of the game and chances and sneak a point - or maybe more. Today we are going to learn a lot !

I’d rather see Ng as a central defender against the sort of team Norwich are likely to put out than, say, McGuinness and/or Morrison.

Re: Awake and a Bit Excited

Must have been subconsciously excited a few hours ago, missus woke me up after I kicked her. For some reason I was playing for the City against Sheffield United (:shrug:) during the night, Ramsey (again :shrug:) had a go at me for not getting stuck in .......so I did. Laid awake then just in case she was through on goal and I had to do the necessary.

Wideos now, I致e had the tom tit, the early shave (don稚 want to nick yourself before getting the bus later, funny how you if you shave just before going out you always have a bloody mishap), cup of tea.

I can稚 remember feeling like this on season opening day since I was playing, I couldn稚 sleep at all then. Jesus, I hope it痴 to no avail and the boys perform later. C知on the City.......or have I got to wait for some aggression until we play the Blades?

Same looking forward to it :thumbup:

Going to have to look back through the signings to see who's who, and try and work out where they are playing!

But I said the sort of team Norwich are going to put out - Pukki is not all about aerial battling and power, it seems to me that you need someone with some pace and anticipation against him and that would not be a Sean Morrison who値l be thirty two in January. In a fortnight, we face Birmingham who could pick someone like Jutkiewicz who would dominate Ng in the air, then it becomes a different argument and Kipre and Ng looks a bit more vulnerable.

Leaving now, not expecting too much today, Norwich will be a decent team

We will get park up and have a spot to lunch and hopefully be entertained :thumbup:

Morrison is a leader and will organise the back 4 which has looked a bit of a mess so far. He痴 also an excellent centre back. It痴 not just about his strength in the air.

Not only that but we need to compete at set pieces. Morrison is very good at both ends with that.

His passing is better than he gets credit for too.

I知 also not one for swapping defenders around. Organisation and partnerships are SO important.

I知 also yet to be convinced that Ng is an answer in a 2. Hopefully it works out for him as I知 not expecting Morrison to be back soon, and even so it値l be a big ask for him to get back to his previous level
