Norwich is a hard place to go but if we play like we did yesterday then we will take all 3 points.

Stick with an unchanged team and get them working well together ;)

I reckon I'd settle for a draw.

Same. But a draw in which we have the intent to go for a win. And play some good football.

I wouldn't mind drawing so much if we wern't so pleased about it or actually played for a draw.

Looking forward to this. Going to cost no end but never been to Naaaarwich so another ticked off the list.

Play exactly the same team apart from N Gotty n Chambers, been solid all season and not made any errors from what i have seen. Exactly same bench but N Gotty swap Kisnorbo, Chambers swap Stearman.

Sorry Osbourne, we don't need you now. ;)

Bench: Kisnorbo, Stearman, Wesolowski, Hayles, Fryatt (Hammond if not injured)

Can't see a place for Fryatt in the team now, sell him.

there#s not too much between the two sides.

remember, our away form has been what's keeping us going... absolutely no reason why we can't get something here, i'm sure IH will expect 3 points, and i imagine the players can't wait for it, prove that last yesterday wasn't a fluke...

I hope Holloway's not thinking in terms of "settling for a draw" or simply "getting something".

What's the point in gathering an attack-capable side and then compromising?

If you look at Saturday as being our "brave new dawn" we started by needing to win anything over a point a game to be reasonably sure of staying up.

We took three points by doing something we've rarely done for years - getting the ball, keeping the ball and taking the game to the opposition and that put us ahead of our points schedule from the off.

Norwich becomes effectively a bonus game so why not drive even further ahead o schedule. Norwich is not any more "difficult" than anywhere else. It has seemed difficult because going away with a side that was never going to score many goals anyway would always have been difficult. It was difficult enough at Cambridge pre-season.

Let's see how hard it is when we're asking some questions of our own. The only "get something" I want is another win and another statement that says things have changed at Leicester at that, from now on, the opposition can start to worry about us.

Didn't quite realize that Kisnorbo is suspended for this game. He got his fifth yellow card on Saturday.

If we are going to reach that magic 6th place somehow this season we are going to need to win these games and go for it. In the next few games we need to beat Blackpool away, Norwich away, Watford away :whistle:

According to my predictions on the predictor :frusty: If we win 4 draw 1 of the next 5 games we will be in 12th and 6 points off the play offs.

6 points isn't a lot to make up you know :D As long as it's mathematically possible i will always have the slight playoff hope.

To be fair, i don't think that is Holloways mentallity, he has said he wants to win the next eight games, whether that is achievable or not is another matter.

I reckon after Saturday we'll be going all out to win this one. Confidence should be great and I think the players will take it to Norwich and come out with the result we need.

Besides, Norwich are only a place above us and have hardly been great this season. Ollie will fancy his chances with our new look side.

Kisnorbo is suspended isn't he? And get fooking Stearman out of the team and get Chambers back in there. Reckon we'll have a new left back starting also.

If he is suspended then I would have Stearman at centre back and Chambers at right back or just a simple swap with N'gotty at centre-back. Though what is the point of changing a winning side :rolleyes:

I predict a few goals.

Chedwyn Evans seems on good form for them, and I think they may just test our defence.

As long as it's not 3-1 to them again :whistle:

I don't think so. I don't think you can expect the new signings to come in and gel for just a one-off game, then fall apart after that, even if it was against a team we do have a fairly good record against.

I'm optimistic for a change. If Ollie sticks to roughly the same team, there's 3 points to be had on Saturday!

:scarf:

really hope you are right ;):thumbup: but we seemed to have had too many false dawns after new starts ; watford , bristol city etc and then the inevitable crash back down to earth .

but please come back and say "told you so" :D i will be so pleased to hear it ;)

Strong line up but 3-4-3 away from home with 3 slow center backs? That's a big risk :whistle:
