Somerset Canary 0 Posted February 22, 2011 We can''t be complacent tonight however, judging by the comments made by theier chairman, they''ve given up before they''ve even started. Therefore, it wouldn''t suprise me if we did go and thump them tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YellowOne1 0 Posted February 22, 2011 I would go with Jackson tonight , has got to be a good chance for him to bag a couple and boost his confidence . Wilbraham i just dont think will score many even at Milton Keynes in league 1 his goals were scarce. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lincoln Yellow 0 Posted February 22, 2011 A 1-0 win would be fine. You''re letting yourself expect too much, I highly doubt we''ll win 6-0 or anything stupid like that, 2/3 at the max I''d say. Please prove me wrong Norwich, but I''d be delighted with a 1-0 win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alysha 0 Posted February 22, 2011 At the end of the day, 3 points is the most important thing, but I do agree in that if there is a game where we can hope to improve our GD it is this one, the league is so tight it could be important, we need to get tighter at the back and more ruthless in front of gaol and this is the perfect game to start Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted February 22, 2011 Doncaster will turn up and sit 11 men behind the ball in an attempt to come away with a 0-0 draw, or possibly hit us on the break and nick a 0-1. If we get an early goal there is a chance we can add a few more, but I would take 1-0 right now. Tonight probably isn''t the night for Jackson as I can see Doncaster sitting on the edge of their box and drawing us in, Wilbraham''s height and ability to knock the ball down might prove the difference. Hopefully someone can shoot in a screamer in the first 10 mins and make for an enjoyable night, otherwise it might get more than a little frustrating for all the fans inside Carrow Road (exactly what Doncaster will be praying for).

Rudolph Hucker 0 Posted February 22, 2011 Quite right, Wiz! If we aren''t one up after 10 minutes and three up by half time the crowd will at best stay muted and at worst become impatient and thereby shoot themselves in the foot. Who is to say the Donny goalie will not have a blinder, sometimes you just cannot get past the keeper. Let''s approach the game right and win. I am confident others will be dropping points tonight.

Yorkshire Canary 118 Posted February 22, 2011 I agree there will never be a better opportunity to improve GD. Life does not always work that way though and the first priority has to be 3 pts anything less in these circumstances would be a massive blow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
milehighcanary 0 Posted February 22, 2011 Listen, if we''re playing a team that has roughly 8 first team members out through injury or suspension, has picked up 3 points from the last 27 - (last 9 games are 1 - 8), have scored 3 goals in the last 810 minutes of play while conceding 25, (with their last goal coming on Feb. 1st.) and we have Hoolahan, Landsbury, Surman, Holt, Fox, Wilbrham and Crofts as our attacking force and only win the game 1-0, at home..... then we have a genuine problem.We should crush Doncaster and crush them hard, because every other team around us still has to play them and if Doncaster hasn''t found a solution by then, then they''ll crush them too.This has nothing to do with arrogance or ignorance. This has everything to do with confidence. After the way the boys played against, Reading and the 2nd half against Leeds, and with Doncaster playing with so many replacement players, we should win this one. In fact, it should be an attacking training session.As someone who is a coach I can tell you that PL will be telling the boys to be patient and let Doncaster show their vulnerabilities and tension points. Play the ball wide and around the 18 to see how they react, what space opens up and how well do they mark. I''m expecting Norwich to control this game with relative ease.What I would really like to see is a little more composure from our strikers today. Can they put the majority of their shots on frame and really make the keeper work, instead of ballooning them. Adding to that, I''m becoming a fan of Holt, ever since he pulled that goal out of thin air against Burnley.Norwich: 6 - Doncaster: 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crowey66 0 Posted February 22, 2011 I agre with Lincoln,how many games have we gone to expecting a big win and then not got one.Most important thing is 3pts,nuff sed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 1,788 Posted February 22, 2011 Didn''t Hull arrive here with a similar dismal record ?Probably more worrying is that 1st wiz posted up something that refers to the real world, is he slippingAs to the supposed ''misfiring strikers'' I would suggest as there are only two teams who have scored more than us (both who have an equal goal difference) it doesn''t matter too much. Maybe the team is playing in a way that means that the midfield is getting forward more and so will score more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yoda 0 Posted February 22, 2011 We should win 4-0 at least but as everyone knows we are not and never have been huge scorers , saying that a lot will depend on when the first goal comes , an early goal could open the flood gates but the Norwich way is to get one just before half time and another near the end .

KingsLynnCanary 0 Posted February 22, 2011 I can''t help think that if Ipswich tonked them 6-0 away and Swansea 3-0 at home then we should be capable of replicating something similar to that scoreline and if they parked the bus in those games then they clearly didn''t park it very well!

milehighcanary 0 Posted February 22, 2011 Folks...Sky Sports just reported that Doncaster have 14...just to spell that out FOURTEEN first team player out.We are in effect, playing their reserve team.My money is on us being 1 up inside 10 minutes - 3 up at half time and 6 up after 90 minutes.
