dylanisabaddog 6,149 Posted October 1 (edited) Official match preview https://www.canaries.co.uk/content/match-preview-norwich-city-v-leeds-united-oct24 Tonight's game has a German beer festival feel with Bratwurst and an ompah band. Beside myself with excitement. The opposition Managed by the Messiah despite some Leeds supporters wanting him sacked in the summer. They will be without the influential Ethan Ampadu who was injured on Saturday. Leeds are also without Manor Solomon (hamstring), Max Wober (thigh/knee) and Dan James (hamstring). Leeds forum https://www.motforum.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=47022 Press conference I haven't seen anything. Please post if you have. Edit see @Satrialespost immediately below. Thanks My prediction Defeat and a red for Borja Apologies for the formatting! Edited October 1 by dylanisabaddog 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Satriales 994 Posted October 1 From the JHT presser, I believe not much has changed since the Derby game, apart from Ben Chrisene who is out for 2 games due to concussion protocol. He took a smack to the head from the ball just before full time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 5,014 Posted October 1 Certainly feels like a beer festival and plan a few myself this afternoon! Great opportunity for sliding tackles as its been raining non stop for about 2 days now, and I do wonder if we might see a red card tonight. We're due a decent performance against Leeds, hopefully tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robert N. LiM 6,301 Posted October 1 There's a great episode of Frasier where he can't beat his dad at chess. At the end he finally does so and says to him tearfully and Oedipally, "I'm sorry I beat you dad." Which is my way of saying that I'm not sure I'm psychologically ready for us to beat a Farke team yet. Might need more time. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But in all seriousness, there was a study commissioned by the FA & PFA a few years ago into neurological conditions suffered by footballers. The study's results suggested lighter footballs make no difference, and that modern footballers were actually at greater risk of neurological disorders.

Carrow89 186 Posted October 1 Looking at my piece of seaweed hanging up near the back door, it points to it easing off in another couple of hours and stopping by around six (ish) Mind you, I could be wrong as it is chucking it down here and I have only been able to have a squint at from the kitchen window But the signs are it will not be raining during the game 😎 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(apologies for sidetracking the thread, everyone) This is correct. Although modern footballs are lighter they fly faster as a result so the end outcome is the same. But apparently the trend for playing out from the back and generally keeping the ball on the ground are a positive thing, at least at higher levels.
