With Gayle cup-tied, Tomlin suspended and Zakuani off to the Congo, Norwich City should win on Saturday; or, could there be a miraculous Posh win?
Just hoping that Boyd plays the game of his life, and that the Posh team will not give the Canaries the excess of respect shown to previous FA Cup Premiership opponents such as Chelsea and Tottenham who consequently walloped us.
C'mon the Posh - regardless of the result, just put on a display that we will be proud of!
the Eagles (well, Posh) V the Canaries

A disappointingly easy win for the Canaries, as Posh failed to turn up for the races. Oh well, we'll just have to turn over the Foxes when they visit London Road later in the season

Well that's out of the way with no injuries. no more than we could have expected considering the players we were missing, just shows the need for another striker and midfield creator though, now we can get on with the important games.

Seems that the Gaffer wasn't too impressed though, or Darragh.
Perhaps we are missing that lower league passion that earned us our now long gone giant killing reputation.

Yes, we were certainly missing passion in our play today.
I remember, especially, the passion we displayed when playing Newcastle in the FA Cup on a nearly flooded pitch a few years ago, when David Farrell scored. Ah, the good old days.
Still, Forest lost at home to Oldham. With Gayle back, and a team tongue-lashing from Fergie Jnr, we may get back to passionate winning ways next Saturday.
I was sorry for our regular supporters and Darragh, as we might have won some additional regular supporters had the team played today.
P.S. Didn't the Foxes do well to beat Burton Albion!

Morning TP easy win for us yest, scoring on 3 mins made it like a training game.We even got a bigger crowd than Posh, there must be something wrong if you cannot sell out for that game.
Heard Fergies comments, and if you had any hope of staying up , then that has been damaged by his public criticism of his players.
We seem to be running into form ,and hope fully by the time we meet at London rd, we should be in top 2 or 3.
You are in for a really hard second half of season, think there soon will be trouble at London rd.

TF, I think that Fergie Jnr was right to criticise his players who treated the game like a pre-season friendly. He also rightly apologised to the Posh fans.
The result and Darren's criticism are now history, and so it's onwards and upwards for Posh to defeat the Florists this coming Saturday.
