Wednesday evening brings us a stiffer challenge than what we have faced in recent games.
Let's hope we can build on the signs of improvement shown of late .
Looking forward to an open game with plenty of action in both boxes .
COYJB make us proud of our team again !

I’m expecting LKC to be up top. Should be a potent forward line. Big Myk will add a different dimension.

despite the misgivings of @cojack and I over Pato, I see no reason that he wouldn’t start again if ready. Who would replace him? Probably Cooper or Congreve.

Pato has the skill to beat a man and pick a pass. He wasn't at his best at Millwall but still managed to contribute. At his best he's arguably our most creative player, so maybe give him another start to see if continuity will add to his game. Norwich are a tough proposition and we'll do well to continue our run but I'm hoping the confidence we should have from successive 3-0 wins will help us raise our game.

I expect a lot more from Paterson. More forward passing and more crosses. He needs to be more creative. Big Mike is exactly what we need and what we've been lacking up front since Llorente played for us - an aerial threat in the opposition box.

Myk is still getting up to speed in terms of fitness levels. If he's any good in the air, and he should be with his height, I'd always play Cullen alongside him to feed off the knock-ons in the box. He's easily the best in the squad at doing that and with Lowe floating, making a nuisance of himself and also putting in crosses when he's out wide, our goal strikes will improve. Add Pato and Grimes threading through balls and we have the makings of a potent strike force. But Duff must give them the freedom to express themselves and do what they do best. Martin was too rigid with his systems and he took players out of their comfort zone by insisting they adhered to his system irrespective of their suitability for the roles and positions he asked them to play.

Same starting XI as last Saturday. Looks like we're settling into a winning combination. Yates recovered from his dead leg. Humphreys consolidating his grip on the LB spot. Patino also fit.

None of the CBs we acquired seem able to replace Darling ... disappointed with that.

Ashley Barnes and Josh Sargent injured. Idah and Fassnacht on the bench???
Keep Rowe quiet and we have a chance to beat them.

Shame we were slack for their goal but we seem to be matching them elsewhere. Good chance of another three points if we cut out the mistakes. Front pressing is decent and we might pressure them into another error. Whatever, right now we're well in the game.
