Interesting tweet from a Norwich fan after yesterday's game

Surely we'd be better off moving Brittain to LB and bringing in Trav to RB (where he came through as a youngster)? From what I've seen of Batty, he is not ready at all. At least that's then four senior(ish) pros at the back.

Trav to me yesterday looked a bit lost, not sure where he was supposed to play. Dolan helped him out that last 20-25 minutes.

Just think with Millar probably playing wide left for the Nobbers on Friday, the full backs on either side, whoever they may be, will need protection from both our  two wide attackers, (probably moran and Siggy), or our midfield players 

If nothing changes I would go

Brittain, Hill, Pickering, Batty.

I would also bring Travis in alongside Tronstadt in  place of Adam Wharton to give more protection to the back 4 . They will need it

Is this for real? Hopefully Carter has recovered to play through the pain.

If it's a hamstring unfortunately you can't play through that.

JRC looking like he's facing a lengthy lay off with hamstring injury.

Fuck knows what the team will be on Friday.

It's not a case of whether to appeal Whartons red card, think they have no choice

Telalovic hits a hat trick in a 6 -3 defeat for the U21s. Looks like same issues as  cb, 2 midfield players playing there by the look of it

Good job relegations been scrapped this season, 

Good too see that whatever Dolan's mental health issues where, he seems to be coming out the other side.

Thought he was excellent today, well taken goal, causing their defence all sorts of problems, and finally dropping back after the sending off and giving Travis assistance at right back. All over the pitch today

Telalovic scores for U21s but 4-1 down at half time

yes I know....but Carter will be back and its a derby!

Carter supposedly out for 2-3 weeks. Doubt he's back on Friday. Maybe get a couple back after the break

Don't know what the issue was with JRC, hopefully not too bad

Think an appeal will go on n over the red card, whether it's successful or not I don't know. If not God knows who will play at the back next week. Brittain, Hill, Pickering and Batty?

Hill immense today again, along with Tronstadt and Dolan 

Get Trav on for Wharton 

fuck yes !

Dolan air shot, rather like my golf

 

He's played well today though, credit to him

If we are not careful, we are going to hand them a way back in to this game.

Been sloppy last 10 mins. Adam Wharton having one of those games at the moment.

What did they say

Comments from Chelsea, Arsenal and Bournemouth fans...

Chelsea fans raving about Wharton on social media.

Has to be back in the team on Sunday but where do we fit him in ? Tronstad and JRC done nothing wrong. Maybe move JRC to one of the wide attacker roles as Brittain will no doubt be right back

No disgrace in this performance tonight, just frustration at 2 preventable goals.

Hopefully no more injuries tonight, on to Sunday and Norwich.

 

Plus the Dingles getting tubbed again helps a bit

Gregg has been entrusted with the war chest and he's provided the German Chris Brown and the second coming of Alan Fettis.

War chest? You having a laugh ?

A good first half performance marred by another poor goal conceded.

You accept that keepers will make mistakes from time to time but it's happened a bit too often this season

Still a step up from.what we have now.

I've yet to receive a letter from our owners asking me for a £100 donation to keep the club afloat.

Believe it or not there are worse owners out there than ours, which might not be saying a great deal admittedly

Personally I would sacrifice tomorrow for a win in Sunday at Norwich and my team would reflect that. I think it's a difficult one for Tomasson. If he goes strong and we lose he will be criticised by some and if he sticks with the youngsters and get beat he will also be criticised by some. If he plays a strong team and we get injuries it will really harm us. Some of them were blowing out of their backsides on Saturday too.

The perfect situation would be win both games.

Agree. It was obvious on Saturday that one or two were running on empty. It's not worth pushing them out again tomorrow, it's not our priority.

Doesn't sound great to me .....
