Poor effort so far 3/10.

😁

[cambridgeshire canary 6,801]

Hernandez back (Big doubt did you say Wagner?) two wingers, one striker in Sargent.. Look, I know I'm jinxing it but this is much better than our last few teams

[CANARYKING 644]

McLean injured?

[Midlands Yellow 4,081]

Great to Onel and Sörensen starting. 

[Capt. Pants 4,277]

That's a seriously weak bench in terms of midfielders. I missed the presser, where's Kenny?

Official Easter duties as Mayor apparently. 

[Don’t be Krul 399]

Oh my God, they killed Kenny 😁

[Yellowfuture 71]

Gibbs looked ok when he came on last game, hope he can play well today.

[Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,857]

Well this is wildly different from what I was expecting. I wasn't expecting Onel back so soon, McLean must be injured or ill, I wasn't expecting either Gibbs or Sorensen to play yet they're in central midfield together, and finally, FINALLY:

We don't have a striker out of position on the wing!!!

What, like none? The cupboard is bare.

It’s a shocker, one poster on here will combust with that team news.

I like 👍 the look of that team. Onel to terrorise  Blackburn today 1-3 Norwich. 

[canarydan23 4,060]

I don't mind that. I'd swap Tzolis for Marquinhos but not much else.

Will be interesting to see how Onel does given Wagner said he was and I quote a "huge doubt" for today

[Capt. Pants 4,277]

Well if I was the Blackburn manager I'd be telling them to get stuck into Sara and make sure he doesn't last 90 mins 😉

We need a strong ref today.

[Christoph Stiepermann 1,153]

Looks a more balanced team and you can see some logic in how we'll try to create chances. Sarge needs to have a good game and get his head on some crosses

Out for the remainder of the season apparently.

[Ulfotto 644]

Looking at the starting lineup it does seem the target of automatic promotion was a bit far fetched.

[pete 320]

Surprise McCracken is now Crocked the curse of Norwich City.  Was Stevenage 6th keeper this season onto 7th today.

Good ref? In the Championship?

[TheGunnShow 6,006]

Right, Lungi and Gibbs together as a double pivot is what I'm hoping to see. Got a suspicion that could work nicely.

While we're waiting, here's the new Indiana Jones trailer:

I think it could. But it may take a few games, so hope it isn’t thrown in the bin if it doesn’t click right away. 

[KeiranShikari 1,440]

Predictions 

-We'll muster 2 shots on target

-there will be a lot of Villa fans on twitter tooting Smith's horn again

-Onel will do some step overs which will prompt 90% of the Norwich fans in attendance to demand he's signed to a 5 year deal

Aye, very true. All the more reason to give it a crack at this stage of the season.

[Branston Pickle 3,689]

Who is the ref, btw?

Edit - just seen, Andre Marriner.  Don’t recall any particular issues with him…

Harrison Ford will outlive us all.
