KiwiScot 1,492 Posted December 9, 2023 (edited) Confidence is the name of the game as we host Preston North End. They had a really good start to the season, but while recently we are 3 wins from 4, they are 2 from 12. They are 5 places above us in 8th, but only by 2 points so let's grab them by the deepdales and leapfrog them. News - Wagner "We must win aerial duels, 2nd balls and better in possession." Giannoulis ok to play, Wagner & Players visited hospitals giving out Christmas Presents. Pay At The Gate - Possible I think, but best phone the ticket office Preview -https://www.sportsmole.co.uk/football/norwich-city/preview/preview-norwich-vs-preston-prediction-team-news-lineups_530815.html Other Match Thread - https://www.pne-online.net/forum/index.php?threads/norwich-city-v-pne-09-12-23-ko-3pm-championship.3439508/ Pups - https://forum.pinkun.com/index.php?/topic/154593-rays-funds-for-the-csf-with-the-pups-season-17-week-19/ Â Â Edited December 9, 2023 by KiwiScot 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,336 Posted December 9, 2023 Bring it on. Wet and windy atrocious conditions, great for sliding tackles. Hopefully the players don't give out any Christmas presents on the pitch! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norfolkngood 1,101 Posted December 9, 2023 (edited) i want Idah to Start today he is our in form striker ATM But he is turning into one of those players where if you start him he is disappointing but if he comes off the bench he plays better David Fairclough of Norwich city  Edited December 9, 2023 by norfolkngood Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 4,336 Posted December 9, 2023 Right soon orf to the pub. Topic 1 will be if McLean should start at CB. I suspect he will until he makes a glaring error. Please don't let it be Ipswich 😫 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Satriales 714 Posted December 9, 2023 Just watched this weeks training video on youtube. Was Barnes missing? Don't think I saw him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,352 Posted December 9, 2023 I hate to say it, but McLean is best suited to CB, he has the ability to play there and is far better than Duffy! Just hope to see Warner soon on the bench! Must start with Sainz instead of Hernandez and got to be Barnes & Idah up top, Rowe & Sainz as inside wingers and the rest well I’d start Fisher over Stacey just don’t rate Stacey that much, even consider giving McCullum a go to freshen things up today, pace and energy will win over Preston.

It's been there since Wednesday. They appear to have stuck a few cones out and just abandoned it. Sara lives almost opposite. I hope it doesn't stop him getting to the game!

canarycop 212 Posted December 9, 2023 Onel again. How bad has he got to get before he is dropped ? Goes from bad to worse and still gets a start Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,751 Posted December 9, 2023 Seems a reasonable starting XI. Onel played ok at Bristol so not sure why the complaint, but plus ca change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
