    Don't think Norwich will be anywhere near the bottom come the end of the season
    People said that about Luton last season. Norwich are a poor side who have 18 points from 22 games - shocking 
    They've just drawn away at Preston and beaten Southampton, they're turning it around now.
    Agreed, I can see them finishing somewhere like 16th.  Not where they want or expect to be, but safe from relegation

    Presuming the other results stay the same…. Forget all this must not lose bollocks. Or a draw is ok.

    This is must win. End of. No other way of dressing it up. Pressure game and they have to perform big time.

    A draw is not the end of the world at this stage of the season.

    So what games (plural) do you have marked down as a win if not this one?

    Got to go in with the attitude that we could win any game, draw any game and lose any game
    Would you have had us down as winning 3-0 @ Portman Road for example? - Nothing is guaranteed in Football
  • Nice to hear from Ibby Fullah on the CATV, and sounds well grounded...

    Why's Fullah warming up if he's not in the squad?
  • Why's Fullah warming up if he's not in the squad?
    Its not rare for Players to do some running drills etc., even if they're not on the bench
    Hopefully puts to bed any suggestion that he's injured though... Thanks for the early Xmas present there Santa
  • Why's Fullah warming up if he's not in the squad?
    My mate was on the books at reading. He used to warm up with the squad each week whether he made the bench or not as a kid. Good experience and instills the routines and match day experience for young players

    Would prefer Bree at LWB and Apter on the right. Apter in front of Gilly is gonna leave a massive gap, just asking to have that side opened in. 

    At least on the right with Ramsay behind Apter. he can step across and fill the space. He also has the recovery pace to cover when needed

    Annoying that the OS has changed the top of their thread and removed the opportunity to pin the score and time so when using my phone I cannot keep up with the match time

    Or Apter at RWB and Bree LWB to provide defensive cover for Gillesphey?
    That’s what I assumed it was.

    Seven (ish) minutes to lick off and it's still looking very sparse in the ground 

    It's almost as though people have better things to do on a cold Saturday afternoon five days before Christmas ...
  • Did I just hear that Brownie hopes there is an injury for Fullah being left out...ffs

    Players emerge from the tunnel as Red, Red Robin fills the air.

    I’ve just switched on and Brownie’s rambling on about something to do with how NJ should deal with something in the ranks, but he’s not going into specifics. Anyone know what he’s talking about?
  • Who was Steve Brown alluding to when he was saying that a player is causing issues in the dressing room?

    Today's fashion news ...

    Charlton: red shirts, white shorts, red/white socks

    Oxford: light blue shirts, white shorts, light blue socks.

    Well, I suppose yellow and black is an obvious clash with red and white ...

    (Bloody commercial contracts)

    Charlton traditionally play in Red and White, while Oxford are famously yellow and blue clad. So no surprise Oxford are in their 2nd strip.

    Woke nonsense!!
  • Oxford kick off, and we're kicking the right way, so all set...
  • Early Goal... QPR 1-0 Leicester
  • Apter lining up over on the Left to begin with...
