I think it's a decent draw. Norwich might not be the "glamorous" team people wanted but most have already said a prem team at home would be good. You never know, as the underdogs, we might even get a result.
It’s a bit meh for me. Plus side it’s not an unfashionable away but a bit disappointed it’s not ‘glamour’. At least it’s at home so I’m still good for Cheltenham away ;-)
I know they are a Premier League club right now, but in my mind they have the allure of something that is upper Championship - similar to a West Brom or Bournemouth.
Not particularly thrilled with the draw, but at least it’s not something truly bland like MK Dons or Ipswich.
Norwich made 7 changes for their fa cup third round game when they were going for promotion last season. Probably doesn't mean anything as they have a different manager, but you would expect them to play a second team.
They're some of the nicest fans in the Football League - They'd find a positive out of anything
I’ve always found them to be the complete opposite whenever we’ve played them. Very arrogant and always trying to tell everyone why their club is better than anyone else.
Fixture scheduling for that weekend is going to be interesting. I should imagine the police are going to insist West Ham v Leeds and Millwall v Palace are on different days, and there's Chelsea, Spurs, QPR and us at home to fit in as well.
If it was me I'd do Fri night (TV): West Ham v Leeds Sat Lunch time (TV): Chelsea v Chesterfield Sat 3pm: CAFC v Norwich Sun midday: Millwall v Palace Sun afternoon: QPR v Rotherham Mon night (TV): Spurs v Morecambe
We may get caught up in the BBC Sunday live reports nonsense. However, I don’t think the police would care about Charlton and QPR playing at the same time.

Really ??
I have never experienced anything with Norwich fans other than positive - similar to Sunderland fans - decent, happy to chat football etc
Yes - all clubs have their knob head supporters, and Norwich will be no different - but on a % basis, they are way down the list compared to a list of clubs I am sure we could produce a lengthy list of…..
I can remember an old Div 1 match vs Norwich at Selhurst in the late 80’s which we lost , maybe 1-0. It was dark days for Charlton, a home crowd of well under 10k, probably not much more than 5k, maybe bottom of the league and they were singing ‘What’s it like to have no ground’!!!ffs. No great respect therefore for Norwich fans. I wrote to Lennie Lawrence after this match ( no email then!) and told home to keep fighting, no matter what. He sent me a brief note of reply expressing ‘Tks’. The story had a happy ending - we miraculously avoided relegation - and Lennie remains a Charlton legend. The story of the ascent from the ruins of Selhurst back the Valley and the journey since is one of the great football stories and hopefully will see us restored again to the pinnacle of English football over the next few years.🤞 So let’s win this match and put those Norwich fans back in their box.
What's not to like? At home to a (current) Premier League side but who are still the most beatable of the top flight clubs if we're on a good day and they're at their worst.
