Sorry, I know it's late!

I feel like this is an absolute season defining game, win this and we could well have one foot back in the premiership, lose and results elsewhere go against us and we could well have to settle for the playoffs, personally I think we've got enough about us to win this game especially with Derby's recent downturn in form and I'm going for a 2-0 win for City

 

[Dubai Mark]

I really dont think if we lose we are more likely to settle for a play-off, sure automatic will be more difficult, but there are still enough games left for there to be several more twists and turns, plus the other sides squads are getting stretched. BUT....a win is HUGE not only in terms of the three points, but psychologically for us in terms of belief and also sending a huge message to the others. I agree we do have enough about us to win this, particularly seeing Derby's recent results and looking back on when we played them earlier in the season.......we are better now and they are possibly weaker...a pumped up Carrow Road and our team playing at or close to its potential and three points WILL come our way. I do though have a sneaky suspicion we may well see a Derby side happy to go home with a point and looking to park a bus and hit us on the break, which will make things difficult for us......lets see.

Will Whittaker be picking up Ince ? Slightly worried if that's the case

Will Whittaker be picking up Ince ? Slightly worried if that's the case

I think Ince is one of those left-footers who likes to play on the right and cut inside, so i don't think he'll be Whittakers man.  Either way, he could cause us some major problems 

 

[ZLF]

Ince can cause anyone problems,   but I expect that we will be well drilled and ready for him.    I am confident we can contain him.,  especially with Tettey back.  

We can either use howson  to bolster the defence or let derby worry about redmond (the better player) and make ince focus on covering him.   I favour a more solid midfield for this with redmond coming on to inject pace if needed.

I really don't understand why we didn't try to sign Ince on loan (then again, perhaps we did try),would have been immense seeing him on one side and Redmond on the other. 

 

[Din]

Massive game. Not a lot else to say really. As Alex Neil said in the build up to this game, there's no room for slip-ups now.
 
Team:
 

Ruddy​

Whittaker Martin Bassong Olsson​

Redmond Howson Tettey Johnson​

Hoolahan​

Jerome​

 
Quietly confident that we'll win this one, but even so I'm gonna say 2-2.

Up the football league we go

When we win the title

This is what we'll sing

We are Norwich, super Norwich

Neil is our King.

Translates roughly into us winning 2-1 I think

 

[morty]

Yet again, another season defining game! But the best thing about it is that I am unexpectedly home, so in in about 6 hours will be heading to Carrow road!

I am going one nil to us. 

 

[Killiecanary]

A win would be MASSIVE....but I think I would just about take a draw today looking at the fixtures coming up for the top 6. I think not letting any gap between us and them is the most important thing today.

But it will be tight...although I foresee goals...so 2-2

 

[gerryinromania]

Time to be on the move people..Hopefully, I'll be able to get a stream here in the backwoods...Cheer loud and long, 3 points for the Canaries please..I'll be doing my bit out here with a jar or two of some good sipping stuff

Not sure who's where in that line-up. Dorrans or Howson on the right?

 

[The Great Mass Debater]

Redders to come on when there are a few tired legs?

 

[KeiranShikari]

They are giving a first start to a 19 year old Hanson and there is no Craig Bryson in the side.

If they lose this their fans are going to go mental.

Vadis disappeared again

 

[It's Character Forming]

Yessssssget in there

 

[The Great Mass Debater]

Good first half, in total command. Need to be professional in the second half. Other scores predictably going against us at present

 

[CanaryNath]

must come out in the same frame of mind in the second half. Derby will be more aggressive and will leave space, we must exploit it early, and put this game to bed.
