Will probably mean they play 1-5-5 and try shut up shop we all know we are good at breaking that down 😜😏😉

1-5-5 is a pretty attacking formation to be fair ...  although if they really don't rate their keeper it might be worth a go...😉

Forshaw booked already.

The new Tettey is here.

I see the BBC are criticizing Oliver Skip tonight.  Worth a cheeky bid?

I think that was just some random rather than the BBC per se.  But not sure Skipp would suit our current system anyway.

He was a Farke player, not sure he's worth it now in a different system

[overthebordercanary 146]

Also haven't needed Rowe at all which is very handy for the weekend

[Pyro Pete 2,095]

0-1. Full time.

Job done.

[Robert N. LiM 5,087]

In the hat. Bring on Bournemouth

[Capt. Pants 4,507]

Well played City.

Clean bedding as well.

[Robert N. LiM 5,087]

When is the draw, do we know? Tomorrow night?

Was a BBC reporter with a picture and everything.  I was kinda joking as well. lol

Rotherham got absolutely smashed tonight as well.

Chuffed. Another solid performance. The organised and composed nature we are seeing out games, even with 9 changes, continues to fill me with confidence. 

And dead chuffed for Placheta who I think it's fair to say we all had written off, having an absolute renaissance at the club at the minute.

Ah - the one I saw on the BBC comments was just called 'Jon' - perhaps there were others.

[Midlands Yellow 4,343]

Excellent, there’s the beer money in for Leicester in September. Ipswich at home next round would be exciting. 

[Christoph Stiepermann 1,176]

 Who do we think we'll get in the next round? It'll definitely be away to a PL team just depends which one. I'll go for Palace away.

Tomorrow night after the TV game. Think its Doncaster v Everton.

Speak for yourself Cambridge, never written him off

Indeed it is approx 10.15pm on Sky.

[Robert N. LiM 5,087]

thanks for the replies about the draw. One more question - is it still regionalised in the third round or can we get anyone?

[S_81 953]

We’re Gona get drawn away at Portaloo aren’t we. I’ve got a feeling.

All the big boys are in, so no regionalisation! Just warm balls! 😉

Most of you had written him off. I'd certainly stated regularly how I think he could be used to far better effect and a fair few on here certainly wondered where I was coming from. Whilst I didn't peg him being used as a left-back, I regularly said he suffered from Pukki being our main man and needed a more typical big man up top in games that are more stretched as it simplifies his game.

Long way to go, but he's beginning to look like he's getting to grips with it.

cheers. So much knowledge on this board. Thanks all.

Or maybe not. Reading just scored.

I'd certainly written him off. Just never looked like a footballer under Farke or Smith. DW has certainly been doing some coaching over the summer. Fair play to him - and to PP, who must have had a tough couple of years. Didn't someone say his mum passed away soon after he came to Norwich?
