Number 9 0 Posted April 5, 2017 Tonight''s defense v Huddersfield.Martin, Bennett, Bassong, WhittakerI have no inside knowledge!Ivo is out, Dijks still out?, Klose seriously out of favor.It could easily be a horror film tonight, not for the squeamish.NB, if I have any details wrong regarding injuries, suspensions etc, please let me know because this line up is looking grim.

Aberdeen_Canary 0 Posted April 5, 2017 Add to that a short keeper behind them who can''t seem to catch a ball or command his box and it could get messy ............... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 5,159 Posted April 5, 2017 Add to that also that can you see Huddersfield who were the best side i have seen at Carrow Road this season losing two home games in a row in less than a week ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tumbleweed 106 Posted April 5, 2017 Isn''t that Hughton''s "classic" lineup at the back?I''ll be on Sky Sports News all evening now- I think Mr Stelling may have his work cut out to keep up with this one.....!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Number 9 0 Posted April 5, 2017 Am I right regards injuries etc, been busy so not sure.I suppose Turner is available...... 😱 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Move Klose 303 Posted April 5, 2017 Well Klose has been selected on the bench ahead of Bassong recently so can''t see Bassong now starting ahead of him. Not that that improves the defence much more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aberdeen_Canary 0 Posted April 5, 2017 That''s ridiculous - he must have had a double standing in for him when he had his medical and got measured ... Hope he brings back Ruddy tonight.Another scary thought is that Malumbu is fit and in the squad ....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Move Klose 303 Posted April 5, 2017 Tbf Mulumbu would probably play well then we won''t see him again for 3 weeks through injury. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Number 9 0 Posted April 5, 2017 Add into the equation that Uddersfield have hardly scored any goals recently. Knowing our penchant for breaking other teams bad runs, they could score a hatful tonight.2-1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
......and Smith must score. 1,554 Posted April 5, 2017 Can''t believe you can get 11/10 for a Huddersfield win.Surely a nailed-on three points for the Terriers tonight ?If only I could bring myself to bet against Norwich ( sigh ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HampsteadCanary 0 Posted April 5, 2017 I think it''s just that Ruddy is 6''9 or something like that, so Micky McG looks rather tiny in comparison. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyboy 1 Posted April 5, 2017 Just seen a stat that we have conceded the most headed goals in the division this season and we have conceded the last 8 trips to Huddersfield so what''s the betting we concede a header again tonight with that back five?

Sussexyellow 55 Posted April 5, 2017 An ideal opportunity to do something different and play 3 - 5 - 2 and give them something different to think about.Won''t happen though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Number 9 0 Posted April 5, 2017 No Bassong at all, not even on bench.Martin, Klose, Bennett and Whittaker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herman 11,112 Posted April 5, 2017 At least Maddison and Godfrey are on the bench. Other than that, same old, same old. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 5,159 Posted April 5, 2017 Maddison and Godfrey on the bench as well as both Murphy''s so the old guard it is then FFS ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Horse Renoir 1 Posted April 5, 2017 Sensible selection really. What i expected except Klose and Wildschut instead of Bassong and Ja.Murphy. Looks like the plan is to sit in and hit on the break, will probably either be a low scoring draw/narrow win for us or a heavy defeat. First goal will be huge.

Number 9 0 Posted April 5, 2017 You''ve covered most options there Horsey, can I tempt you to consider a 1-0 to HAFC? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nuff Said 5,868 Posted April 5, 2017 Well, at least one person isn''t panicking Horse. I would agree, sensible lineup in the circumstances.I really liked Naismith and Pritchard together at Villa, let''s see if they can add goals to their performance tonight.
