kick it off 1,948 Posted March 5, 2011 Good news. Come on boys!!Looking at fixtures around us, could be a big weekend and a good chance to get some points on the board whilst others face potential banana skins... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CDMullins 436 Posted March 5, 2011 Your forgetting that we have the biggest potential banana skin of the lot! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paul moy 235 Posted March 5, 2011 A commonsense selection after last week''s great performance. We should win this game although of course it will not be easy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kick it off 1,948 Posted March 5, 2011 Totally agree CD.We do have the biggest potential banana skin, but we also have the biggest chance for a cricket score.After last week''s performance I feel we have to be optimistic but never underestimate Preston. Ellington out for them, good news. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paul moy 235 Posted March 5, 2011 Paul Hayes, ex-Norwich replaces Ellington. I bet he or Brown scores ...LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted March 5, 2011 Have we not scored yet? Lots of possession for Preston seemingly......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YellowOne1 0 Posted March 5, 2011 Don''t really sound like scoring , this poor home form and lack of strikers is going to prove very costly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted March 5, 2011 We have struggled at home against teams in the bottom 6 or 7 all season. If we are at home to a team in the bottom 6, 7 or 8 you can pretty much write it off as a draw or defeat. It just doesn''t make sense when we can beat the better teams both home and away???[:S][:^)] I am really at a loss to explain it...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary_on_the Trent 0 Posted March 5, 2011 Teams in the bottom 6 are hardly going to go toe to toe with us at Carrow Road are they. Not only do the players have to patient but so do the fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted March 5, 2011 Oh, what price for the luxury of a Billy Sharp in our team? He was out injured for quite a while, scored 2 goals in his first game back and has just scored away at Leeds. I also think Sharp would fit into our team quite well. One can but hope[:(] I don''t think Donny paid that much for him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Especially the worst teams in the division, who you could rightly assume don''t have the best defences. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The better teams play more open football against us which plays to our strengths as they are easier to break down. Teams such as Preston come for a point, pack the defence and catch us asleep on the break. This is exactly why I disagree with people that state top six teams playing lower league teams have easier games. It''s simply not true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, i''m starting to lose faith in that little hopeful theory, i must admit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
