Tetteys Jig 851 Posted September 25, 2013 0-0 or a very tight 1-0 either way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiery Zac 1,066 Posted September 25, 2013 The Villa game was finally the moment that Hughton woke up and realised where we''re going wrong and we need a shake up of tactics to move forward. This will be the first (after Watford) sign of a new way of thinking and playing. 2-1 norwich. (Please let this be true) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snake-eyes 13 Posted September 25, 2013 I still think Stoke will win. Sorry! Despite the euphoria of last night, as great as it was do dig ourselves out of such a hole, Stoke are a totally different prospect, especially as Hughes has them playing well and The Britannia is not a good ground to go to needing a result. 1-0 Stoke I''m afraid and yes I hang my head in shame!

norfolkbroadslim 225 Posted September 25, 2013 3-1 to Stoke. I believe that Hughton will genuinely try and change things and he will play what he deems to be a more attacking formation and tactics. However, I think this will backfire against a very well organised Stoke side who will punish the spaces at the back for us that Watford didn''t. This in turn will only further fuel Hughton''s belief that he was indeed correct in the first place and we will be back to playing more defensive and conservative football. Grinding out the occasional victory, drawing and losing by the odd goal the rest.[:(] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted September 25, 2013 2-1 home win for Stoke. As has been mentioned, they''ve started well under Hughes. Only losing to Arsenal and Liverpool in the league. While doing the business against West Ham and Palace, plus holding out to Man City.Our ray of hope is Hooper''s return and maybe even the wildcard Josh Murphy. But will Hughton be brave enough to deploy more ''expansive football''? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BOO 0 Posted September 25, 2013 Well it all depends, was anything learned last night about how to get the ball into our strikers, how to move the ball with pace and the need for pace and movement off the ball, if so we can win comfortably, if not the whole momentum from last night will just fizzle away, I really hope that ain''t the case!

Bethnal Yellow and Green 2,424 Posted September 25, 2013 Don''t under-estimate Stoke, they matched Arsenal at the Emirates on Sunday and were undone by some less than clinical finishing. They had about 50% of posession, 85% pass completion and attempted more than 500 passes. This is a very different opponent to the Stoke of last season. I don''t do predictions, but Norwich have a very tough game this weekend against one of the best performing teams in the League so far - Stoke''s major downfall so far has been a poor goal return from their strikers. Whatever happens, don''t expect a lot of goals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Making Plans 957 Posted September 25, 2013 If we go with the main intention of not getting beat, we''ll lose.If we go with the main intention, and team selection, of setting out to win, we''ll win.Therefore, unless there''s going to be an almighty u-turn by Hughton, it''ll be another dismal performance and 1-0 to Stoke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tony Cottee Woz Ere . . . 0 Posted September 25, 2013 Can it be as embarrasingly awful as last season''s ''peformance''? Probably, we have got the same manager in charge with the same philosyphy after all. 2-0 stoke followed by hughton''s dismissal on monday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonzey 0 Posted September 25, 2013 Even if there was no ''sack Hughton'', ''we''re all doomed'' nonsense being spouted all over I''d think Stoke would stroll to a 2-0 win. It''s just the sort of game we lose.However a shake up where we start Hooper, Hoolahan, Pilks and Redmond may lead to something extraordinary happening. Either that or we''d only lose 2-1.

mrs miggins 0 Posted September 29, 2013 sorry to be a (unt, i know it''s annoying when people do this(but i''ll do it anyway), but i predicted correctly. Luckily I did put £5 on us to win 1-0 so was a bit risky (normally only do £1 but felt lucky).I suppose wiz and lincoln shall be depressed tonight, seeing as though we won a game.onwards and upwards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiery Zac 1,066 Posted September 29, 2013 Can I be half a (unt then? Got the result just not the scoreline. Nice to see a positive, attacking approach to the game that was then solidly defended. We did what we had to do with some promising signs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
