Think this one will be the acid test for us, no prediction from me on this one, If we can re-produce our form of the Brentford game we stand a very good chance of at least a point. Have watched a couple of their games, they play good football.
Having said that, they must be thinking along the same lines having watched our last game, and think they may well settle for a more defensive line up.. It has all the signs of a tactical managerial battle. Just hope Cooper is up for that.

If we play our game let them adjust for that.
If we change we will suffer, our game is good defensively and getting better going forward. No need to change for anyone at this level.
Agree with this. Let them worry about us. And if we can reproduce or even better our form against Brentford, they'll have a lot to worry about.

Huge game this one. Would love to get 3 points and put some distance between us and the rest. Could be top of the table after 11 games going into the break which would be nice

Stoke doing us a favour beating Reading 2-0 so far. If Reading end up losing it's a huge opportunity for us to close the gap but we'll have to do the business at Norwich. Not easy but can be done.

Whats happened to Cullen ? Not even on the bench again.
Strikers like Cullen rarely impress in training with coaches looking for other things, particularly involvement in the general play. That's not Cullen's forte. He's a dedicated striker who prefers to play between the posts, receive the ball and get off a strike. If he was the type who held up the ball, played wide to good effect, or had blistering pace, he'd make a better impression. But he doesn't do much of those things being a 'fox-in-the-box' player who pounces on anything he can get in the penalty area. It takes a coach with courage, or a very specific game-plan, to select such a player over those who might be far more active and involved in training. Gary Lineker was one who had a poor reputation in training but he sure as hell knew where the goal was. Cullen is that kind of player. And I'd prefer him to Gyokeres on the bench because, from what I've seen so far, he's a far more effective goal getter.

Huge game today, will ultimately set the tone for us to prove that we are going to be top 2 contenders or playoff favourites. We've got to beat teams like Norwich who have some serious injury issues at the moment. Get the points now.
