Watched a bit if their game last night. Not exactly Barcelona but quick and skillful going forward with a defence that may be a bit vulnerable.
Our defence will struggle against them and I am in favour of having both Ralls and Pack shielding. There is an argument to give both Nelson and Bennett a rest, but given the strength of the opposition the manager will probably stick to the same defence.
If Wilson is able to influence the match like he did v Brum we will create chances so I am not overly pessimistic, just realistic that this is going to be tough.
Smithies
Bacuna
Morrison
Nelson
Bennett
Ralls
Pack
Vaulks
Wilson
Glazel
Ojo
Cunningham in for Bennett definitely
Benkovic is a centre half, so the only option would be to put Nelson in at RB, to move Bacuna back into the middle with Ralls
Hoilett or Murphy on the left for Ojo
4 5 1 with the intention of stopping them
A point would be a good result at Carrow road
Bennett is a much better player than Cunningham, what has Cunningham ever done for us that has convinced people that he's the answer?
Cunningham, Bagan either of them atm
Not because they are better than Bennett, in my view he looks knackered
The game (was it his last?) where he picked up a head injury and a yellow straight after. He settled into that game very nicely afterwards and looked stronger as the game wore on.
I think he's a better defender than Bennett.
Quote feature didn't work. I was responding to Rjk.
Prediction.
Not what id pick.
Smithies Bacuna Morrison Nelson Cunningham Hoillet Vaulks Ralls Pack Wilson Glatzel.
If Hoillett isnt fit I think he will play Whyte.
Too many changes and I doubt Harris will go this way unless we have to get back in the game after conceding but not a bad shout this, though I'd have Cunningham in for Bennett.
I don't think many will be giving us a chance against NC.
He's got to try Benk out some time and whilst he and Cunningham will have a tough task ahead of them, it will give some rest physically and mentally to Bennett and Ojo (who I happen to think has done well for us overall sorry BT ). Bacuna will add something more from MF too.
If NH did try this and it went tits up the knives would be out for him anyway.
I'll take a draw right now.
Our left flank has looked vulnerable last two games. I think they're both knackered so I'd bring in Bagan and Murph, though that doesn't fill me with confidence either. Ralls will come in for Vaulks. The other issue is what to do about the right wing, Whyte isn't up to scratch and moving Wilson back out there to accommodate Harris means we lose that quality in the key area.
We're down to the bare bones at the moment.
I’m not sure we have ever won there have we? It’s not a happy hunting ground is it
2.2
I really don't see the point of playing Cunningham. He's average, injury prone and leaving us in the summer.
If we want to give Bennett a rest I'd actually prefer to give Bagan a run out - yes it's a bit of a baptism of fire but you don't get better playing against the Weston Super Mare's of this world
