splendidrush 720 Posted January 19, 2019 Not playing this game, I think we can win all 3.... there, I've said it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 2,273 Posted January 20, 2019 (edited) I say again that the 3rd slot is the one we must concern ourselves mostly with. We must not give Sheff. U a three point gain on us. in one fell swoop. Either us or Leeds for top spot , don't care as long as we are second.. Therefore a defeat at Leeds, obvious innit.

We only need one of the two spots, begrudgingly, Leeds can have their day so long as they beat the rest of the chasing pack on their way. I hate sheff it’s more than Leeds anyway.

lake district canary 4,830 Posted January 20, 2019 (edited) Not losing is important and two wins and a draw in any combination would be great. A draw against Sheff Utd wouldn't be a bad result. Nor against Leeds as long as we win the other two. Having to think about losing a match is beyond my comprehension.....

rock bus 1,059 Posted January 20, 2019 I know I risk being banned for this...But if we HAD to lose one I’d let the scum have their small victory (on proviso they still go down). I’d so love Farke and this team to get promoted and have the success they deserve and beating Leeds and Sheffield will give us 3 points and also prevent them getting 3. Feel sick admitting that! And confident we can in fact win all 3! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SwindonCanary 457 Posted January 20, 2019 If we beat Leeds and Sheffield United the league would look very good for Norwich. I'd then take a defeat against those down the road as long as we start winning again straight after. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are going down. Cannot see us lose against them either. Lambert will make it all about him, take away the pressure from his players. There is a little more karma to come for him when he returns, I hope. He hasn't yet had a taste of humble pie that his behaviour last time he was at Carrow Road deserves.

alex_ncfc 686 Posted January 20, 2019 Never, ever want us to lose to Ipswich, whatever the circumstances! So probably Leeds, as said above I don't care if we finish 1st or 2nd, just as long as we aren't pipped to either position by Sheff Utd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SwindonCanary 457 Posted January 20, 2019 (edited) It's a good position to be in, two against our closest rivals and a local derby. Time to make our mark and make people believe ! Edited January 20, 2019 by SwindonCanary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Surfer 1,547 Posted January 20, 2019 Other than the Birmingham game - which must have put fear into the hearts of all our remaining opponents - our biggest recent result was not losing at WBA. Not because we got a point but because they didn't get three. So given the construct of the question then the answer must be Ipswich as all that means is we get no points, Ipswich getting three is irrelevant to us. In the other two games however if we lose it automatically means we also lose our relative position against them. So as much as it pains me to say it - Ipswich. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellow and Green 352 Posted January 20, 2019 @Hoola Han Solo how about this circumstance: lose to Ipswich and get promoted or beat Ipswich and stay in the Championship next season? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

glory.win or die. 273 Posted January 20, 2019 Thankfully, even if we all sold our souls so we beat Leeds and Sheff Utd but lost to Ipswich, Ipswich would still find a way to lose to us. They are truly that bad 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feedthewolf 5,885 Posted January 20, 2019 Definitely Leeds for me. I couldn't bring myself to countenance a defeat to the filth, and I also hate Sh*tfield United more than Leeds. Wilder is an absolute clart, and I want to see his fat whiney face red with rage after next Saturday. I've always liked Bielsa as a coach, and I quite admire his balls over the 'Spygate' affair.

Clint 221 Posted January 20, 2019 If we had to lose one, I’d want to lose the one that had the least impact on our potential for success. Quite honestly, I’d want what’s best for us irrespective of who the opposition is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
