***Official Lappintitup Match Thread-Norwich v Blackburn***

[KiwiScot 1,660]

Today we host Blackburn and good news! Sutton is backing them for a point! Although we've won 7 of the last 10 league games against them and we are due a win, but we all know how that goes these days. Watch out for Sammie Szmodics their scoring attacking midfielder who just earned an international call up.

Samaritans - Have signed shirts in a Norwich auction shop I didn't realise existed. https://shop.canaries.co.uk/auction/shop/?utm_source=ncfc_referral&utm_medium=org_twitter&utm_campaign=social-samaritans-auction-post

10/10 match thread good thing you let others have a go at making one like you always tell me to 😉

The most unenthusiastic opener to a matchday thread I've ever seen. Totally agree mind.

Think it will be a very subdued Carrow Rd today.

 

[Capt. Pants 4,777]

Blackburn usually a meh game and I can't see it being a thriller today either.

No threads about line-ups or predictions this week, says it all. The only change I'm expecting is Batth for Gibbo (although I'd go for Warner) and a squeaky bum narrow victory.

Perhaps a Duffy winner!

Rather see a whole different back 4 to be honest.. Every single one of our defenders changed. They can't do any worse than we have done recently.. Right?

I'm going for a 2-1 win for Norwich.

Based on nothing whatsoever.

[Jim Smith 2,497]

It will be interesting to see if the Webbers show their faces today.

It would be a very brave decision though. Fisher, Batth, Warner, MaCallum? Can't see it personally.

He'll want to show himself before he sacks Wagner.

I tell, but I don't see it. I must have missed the reply.

[Mello Yello 2,500]

I haven't been so excited since I boiled an egg....

[Mason 47 1,781]

Batth in for Gibson, Stacey returns, same apart from that (is my prediction). Though I wonder with backs against the wall, we might finally see Borja start a game.

It has the feel of a miserable 2-1 win, however with our system so incredibly broken it's easy to see Blackburn outgunning us and I don't see Wagner lasting until Knapper if that is the case

Stuart will be in the changing room whatever the result to sack Wagner at the final whistle! Style.

[Danbury Yellow 126]

8 points off the play offs. 

7 points off the relegation zone. 

Perhaps it’s early, and rather obvious, but we really need to win this today.

2-0 The Nozza 

[dylanisabaddog 5,777]

Is Sainz fit? 

[East Rider 585]

I will go expecting to see ether a nervous 1-1 (they will of course score first) or a scrappy, desperate 1-0 win to us.

Probably better than showing their backsides

I don't agree. I know Stacey has looked tired recently and Dimi made a howler in his previous game, but IMO those two have been among our best performers overall so far this season, along with Sara and Rowe (for his goals). 

[ricardo 7,838]

Bloody stupid kick off times.

[unique 458]

I have to admit I’m hoping for a defeat.

It will prove to be the last straw and, although tipping me over the edge, it will free me up three hours every week following this shower of sh*te who, but for Sara and Rowe, would be dangling in the bottom three, and strong candidates for relegation.

What a fitting end to Webber’s tenure.

Amen to that - a big fat zero consideration for supporters.

That’s the spirit.

I have never and will never hope for a defeat. 

[Pyro Pete 2,263]

I hope this thread will be full of Batth time puns.

[DraytonBoy 231]

Anything less than a win and Wagner is likely to be gone, expect several changes from last weekend as he rolls the dice again.

2-0 City.

We are not bothering to travel down, might as well watch it on tv rather than a 350 mile round trip for a Sunday noon kick off. 

We are currently completely non motivating and not very good.
For all my negatives though I could never wish my club to lose and will be singing, cheering and moaning in front of my tv.

[GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 2,026]

A win buys Wagner another month , as he could then get away with a defeat at Cardiff next week, after which there is an internatonal break . 

At the other side of that we could well have Gunn, Hanley and Barnes back which would certainly make our spine stronger

Whilst this game may not be a must win (or must not lose) for the club, it is for Wagner , a real sliding doors game for him as I cant believe he survives a defeat today
