Justin time 182 Posted November 1, 2022 as he is back from suspension , he will undoubtedly be back in the team , but in what position will he be this time ? I am personally going for him playing in goal . We have got to see him there as if there ever comes a time when all outfield players are playing well Dean will have to fit him in somewhere .

Branston Pickle 3,638 Posted November 1, 2022 There are a few selection issues - Todd, Sara and Nunez all played pretty well when they came on, and with Kenny back there’s a few choices to make. You’d think Dowell and Onel would be two to drop to the bench. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah Smith seemed to suggest so in the presser- mentioned the three games in short spell being tough on Hayden. Saying that I'm surprised he's leapfrogging Sara who has put in some good performances of late. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Petriix 2,834 Posted November 1, 2022 What's most embarrassing is the constant sniping at other posters for having the audacity to share their opinions about football... On a football forum. I guess you think this is just a place to celebrate and show our unwavering support for the club, regardless of what happens on the pitch. I'd be pretty disappointed if Kenny walked back into the starting 11. We've finally found a solid midfield pairing who actually contained the opposition pretty well. Regardless of the lack of attacking endeavour and the vulnerability to crosses against Stoke, the balance in midfield was the best I've seen from Norwich for weeks. Kenny, for all his hard work, is a defensive liability due to his lack of positional discipline. That's not really his fault he's just not a DMC. Dropping Hayden for tactical reasons would be a mistake but, if he's not fit enough, that's a different matter. The only change to the starting 11 should be Cantwell in for Dowell. Sara is a good option from the bench although could come in for Hernandez. Nunez doesn't do enough to warrant a start. Hopefully the forum police won't come after me. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's a huge difference between sharing opinions and being critical - to absolutely having to have a scapegoat that you rip into on both football and personal levels at every available moment, refuse to acknowledge any level-headed sense of positive aspects and make outlandish claims that go against every piece of available evidence. That's probably what people have had enough of 🙂 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The pro and anti Kenny stuff is tedious, but it's well funny too. 😂 I bet Kenny has a chuckle. Carrow Road is so flat a good old Kenny moan fest would be an improvement. If his name is read out on the team sheet it may even cause a spark of life from some of the biscuit chasers in the Main Stand. Anyway, I hope he's back, go get 'em Kenny 🙃👍💛⚽💚 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pete 318 Posted November 1, 2022 This may not be popular but I think Kenny needs to play Wednesday and going forward. Not because of any talent but he is a presence in midfeild. With Hayden they are more physical than our generally small, lightweight midfield options. Would rather we had other physical alternatives but we don't others can be the creative spark. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think there's more need for Hayden and Gibbs against QPR than Stoke quite honestly. They compliment each other really well, but Hayden looks a bit leggy. Hayden, Gibbs, McLean = yuck. McLean, Gibbs, Sara = yeah ok. Decisions decisions! Edited November 1, 2022 by Capt. Pants Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
