    We can win this .. Kelman Apter and Doc on at half time don’t wait till we go one down …

    Someone might have already said it, but I think I am right in saying all our outfield players today were born in England? 
    That will be a big consolation if we lose.
    Alright, alright… just making an observation, keep yer hair on… 😆

    Is Fullah still injured btw?
    He was never injured. He played for the U21s in the wee

  • We look very limited but working hard. Bree wasting our set plays... 

    Hoping Norwich gift us a goal.

    They are a good side going forward but they don't look as confident when defending, keep it tight, they will commit to get the result and hopefully we find the gaps.

    Boring and poor quality game. Norwich clearly the better team, but there's always the chance that they'll screw up at the back. 
    To be fair mate, this is what a lot of people have been saying about our games for the majority of last year, which often ends up with us winning. 
    And Norwich have made a habit of stuffing up in the last 10-15 mins of matches this season.
  • Players back out, Norwich made a double change.

    Carey restarts ...

    Not sure what all the negativity is over on here. Games been alright, very scrappy but think we've looked alright in bits, bit more confident after the first half than I was prematch, that's for sure. Was worried about missing Ramsey but gough has fitted in well, carey/cov/anderson have been positive, as has Olaofe. Hopefully keep it tight till kelman, campball and apter come on and we put some serious pressure on their back line

    No Addicks changes but one for the hosts

  • Two Norwich changes, Jurasek and Slimane have been replaced by Springett and Wright
  • ... and he immediately wins a freek kick on the esge of the box!

    Ran onto a Leaburn knock down and got bundled over.

    As long as Bree is nowhere near thus we might be OK ...

    Well we’re still in it at half time which I think most would have taken before kick off.

    Our strikers and Carey are our main outlets, no surprise we lack an attacking threat out wide when we’ve gone with Bree and Bell as WBs.

    Gough’s settled in well so far.

    We’ve got options on the bench who can change the game, expecting TC and Kelman on at some point.
  • Looks like no change at half time, assume 60+ before Charlie and TC time

    Personally I wouldn't sub Bree even though his corners have been shit, as we're probably going to need to sub Bell at some point, and Gough could do with having a proper defender to his outside

    They can’t really deal with Tanto so they should be very worried about TC coming on. Bligh is doing well in general but his clearances are weirdly bad. Carey is annoying me. Feels like he really, really wants to score against Norwich to prove a point but it’s affecting his decision-making and he’s not looking for passes when he should, always trying to force a way to get a shot off. If we keep defending like this then we can hope for the usual late show

    He wasn’t injured, he played for our u21s
  • Macca and Bree over it ...

    And Bree strikes it into the wall.

    Agree, not sure what people think they are going to see from us.🤷🏻‍♂️
  • Good news: free-kick
    Bad news: James Bree took it

    I don't think any of that three will be NJ's first priority as a sub. Second, third and fourth, maybe. And we need to keep the fifth in reserve in case Gough or Jones fade.

    TC for Bell will be the move and is also why Bree won’t come off 
  • What’s up with Bree not being able to get any height 
  • Bree  serously how is he still on second half

    He's not even in the same dimension as Ward-Prowse.
  • Please stop Bree from taking our set pieces
