Anyone feeling more confident after that display yesterday? I thought we looked the more likely and ran out of ideas after half time. I get the impression they will sit back and try to catch us on the break in the home tie, but their away record is poor and we have a great chance to win this tie at Elland Road.
...the more likely to win it and they ran out of ideas after half time
Think we’ll do it easy on thursday.
Only self destruction can stop us
Feeling pretty confident today. Think we'll do it.
The major marked improvement we all saw yesterday, thank goodness, was the solidity and balance of the midfield.
We had been crying out I think since Watford away for a 3rd traditional midfielder in the side to stop the opposition cutting through us so easily and sure enough Norwich hardly layed a glove on us.
This is the Championship where being workmanlike and a tough nut to crack may not be pretty but ultimately as long as you have 3 capable forward players you will be challenging for promotion.
What's gone before has gone but that midfield yesterday I think gets us at least a point at Coventry and QPR , a win against Sunderland and Blackburn and a point against Southampton and 98 points
So going forward I too see a fairly comfortable victory against Norwich even if it's only 1 nil I think our midfield solidity ensures we hardly give Norwich a sniff while at the other end when the conditions are cooler temperature wise and backed by our amazing support then that to me is another reason one of our forward players, Summerville, Gnonto or Piroe I suspect will be the chosen 3 on Thursday night, will be successful infront of goal at least once.
We dont know the full story regarding the fan who was injured and there is some dispute over police statement, but no fan should be in fear for their safety at a football match.
I hope our fan recovers I hope the perpetrator's are identified, prosecuted and sent to prison.
Whatever happens on Thursday night, we cannot let the tie go to penalties. I don't think Mes has ever saved a penalty and as for our takers, well, we have Cree and Piroe and...Gnonto? Rutter? Kamara? Roberts? Firpo? I have no idea, but one thing is for sure, if Bamford or DJ are on the pitch for penalties, we are back in the Championship next season.
