Awake and a Bit Excited

[splott parker]

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 () during the night, Ramsey (again ) 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’ve had the tom tit, the early shave (don’t 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’t remember feeling like this on season opening day since I was playing, I couldn’t sleep at all then. Jesus, I hope it’s to no avail and the boys perform later. C’mon the City.......or have I got to wait for some aggression until we play the Blades?

Morning Tim, something does feel slightly different about the club. Just hope it’s not a false dawn.

There’s a lot different.
13 new players for a start.

Massive, massive test today - to the point where looking at the starting line ups it’d be hard to see any of our side starting for them.

However that’s part of the excitement- we are massive underdogs. So much unknown with lots of new players with a point to prove and a clutch of promising youngsters on the verge of breaking through.

All I would ask is that fans stay patient and off the manager’s back if things don’t work out as it’s unlikely to click straight away.

There were some really promising signs pre season, but also some worrying spells.

Today is an altogether new level of challenge.

It was heartburn after eating too many cheese and onion crisps which kept me awake most of the night I'm afraid - nice OP though.

3.45am I was awake and raiding the fridge.

Been listening to Tony Blackburn since 6.00am, feel like a teenager again.

Very strange feeling indeed.

What’s in store for us, nobody knows !

Where does Tony Blackburn broadcast these days?


Hard to believe this was 55 years ago

When Scoular was king!!

But I digress

I wonder what our opening match was that season?

Can't remember without looking it up

RADIO 2 6.00am till 8.00am every Saturday. Sounds of the 60’s

[Carl Dale's Mole]

Really hope we can capitalize on all this excitement! Golden opportunity

[UNDERHILL1927]

Same here mate, really looking forward to today.

Also looks a decent crowd today. Main part of Canton Stand is full, with only a couple of hundred in the corners. And only 4K tickets left in the main bowl in total.

Good following coming from Norwich as usual - so I reckon 21-22k will be there which from last season’s malaise is heartening

[lincoln blue]

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

[Ninja]

Praying we play well and hold our own, that would set us in good stead.
Will be happy if we can get a draw today for sure, naturally hoping for a win at home of course, but a point against this lot would be a great start with such a new squad.

Let's hope we all have something to celebrate later and can all sleep better tonight

That's the way to do it!

That's a bit keen!

[Father Dougal]

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......

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.

Id rather we play crap , boring game and sneak a 1 nil win.

[A Quiet Monkfish]

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 have a fit Morrison in before any of them

Yep.
