Chronic lack of pace suffered after injury.

Yeah, I think you’re right there.

How about the new winger getting a game, he was on the bench against Wednesday. We also signed a 19 year old striker from Arsenal, how about giving him 20 minutes 1st team game time, show what he can do.

Just a word for the fans making the journey tomorrow, tremendous effort for a 12.30 kick off, a bloody good effort anyway in the current climate! 

Back in the 60's my dad and his mates used to set off after the pubs shut on Friday night, coaches from Penny Street, It won't be that much different tonight, with Norwich being one hell of a trek.

I'm going for a 1-1 draw, safe trip one and all.

Leicester docked 6 points, drop to 20th in the table

Absolute cop out by the EFL.

I thought the poorest town was Blackpool ? 

Blackpool has serious health care issues. It's also very poor.

This is a study about disposable income.

Anything from this result wise would be a bit of a bonus but most of all I want to see a decent performance for the fans who are getting up at 04.30 to trail down to East Anglia tomorrow.

No more of our centre half slamming in an own goal after 2 minutes or of  no efforts on goal in the 90 mins.

A win would be a superb effort, not only because it's a tough place to go but when you look at the fixtures for tomorrow:

Birmingham V Leicester

WBA V Stoke

PNE V Pompey

Coventry v Oxford

Stoke and PNE have dropped off a bit from their early season form but should still provide a tough test for those at the bottom of the table.

The scary thing is that when Pickering came on I thought he looked a class above most of our players (in terms of touch, control, passing och allround looking like a football player). Consider that when he joined I would have rated him quite a long way down in those terms i respect to the majority of the team at the time...

Scary

My mate's knocking on 80 (fit though is Mick). 

I can't remember John Bray, but I told him on Tuesday night about your comparison  to Cashin.

Said you're spot on.

Pickering has gotten a lot of flack on here, but it’s mostly down to his pace. The guy is a solid squad player, and was frozen out by manager of DeNeve who is 1/10 the player but has pace.

You can get away with a lack of pace as a full back in a back 4 if you’re switched on position wise, you can’t play effectively as a wing back with a lack of pace.

Andy Morrison and Patrick Valery were similar in style.

norwich have picked up their form in the last month,they should never be in this position with the players they have tbh,it will be a long hard 90 minutes for us,i can`t see us scoring but inevitable we concede a few
