Norwich City vs Crystal Palace (Away) Tuesday 28th December.

No players will be back for this, will be the same group that played yesterday. Hoping for a call off!

Same squad? Marvellous. Just hope that Gilmour and Williams are not on the pitch .Dimi, Sorenson, Byram, Mumba would surely try. Can't believe how inept those two are

Oh and was just reminded we are live on Amazon Prime.

Drop Kabak, Gilmour and Aarons. Play Williams at right back and Giannoulis at left back in a back three with Gibson. Bring Sorenson back in and play Placheta up top with Pukki. There's my not so expert take on things. Another defeat I reckon.

I think Smith already said he can't see Kabak playing the Arsenal game and this one, so you might get your wish there.

We simply don't have enough players to drop everyone I want to. We are just so, so weak in midfield though, and I'm not sure we have the players on our books, to remedy it. Gilmour needs dropping, but we have no one to take his place.

Working so not able to watch this one unfortunately (or potentially fortunately ). I have to say though even with our issues this is a glorious chance to pick up some points. Palace have got similar issues to us in terms of absentee’s and playing twice in the space of 3 days, plus Zaha is suspended after getting sent off against Spurs. Really good opportunity to bounce back from that dreadful Arsenal game.

Giannoulis for Williams, Sorenson for Gilmour, Tzolis for Sargent and Lees Melou/Cantwell for Dowell please. Will any of those changes actually work, who knows? But we need to keep the squad as fresh as possible and Giannoulis and Sorenson in particular deserve to be back in the team.

 

[Fenway Frank]

Don’t necessarily think they’ll get on the pitch but I wonder if an U23 may make the bench

 

[morty]

I forgot today was a bank holiday, and the game is actually this afternoon. I could well have tuned in to watch it this evening, and been disappointed. Or not, as the case may be...

 

[Fenway Frank]

Amazon prime if you’ve got it

 

[morty]

Byram, Giannoulis, Sorensen in defence es-Melou, Idah and Tzolis into the attack, Aarons, Cantwell and Pukki missing through injury and illness

Sorensen preferred to Kabak in defence. Maybe Kabak not fully fit?

 

[gerryinromania]

Well I never. Cantwell sick again

Smith said that Kabak wouldn't be fit enough to play both games, before the Arsenal game.

 

[gerryinromania]

Gilmour playing wonderfully well again

 

[Fenway Frank]

What a shambles, it’s not as if Palace are any good

 

[OldRobert]

I haven't watched it. I can only assumed from the score it's up to it's usual standard.

 

[gerryinromania]

Wonder if Smith will walk and take the world class gilmour with him. Both are deceiving Norwich fans and getting paid big time for it

 

[Fenway Frank]

Female pundit has just said Gilmour is a great little player !

I can 100% guarantee you that he won't be in the Chelsea midfield next season...
