[ShanklySeagull]

Just in the Complete Angler now - the weather up here is dis all. Let's hope we get an Albion performance to be proud of!

Norwich View

I can see Adams getting the chop if they lose to us today.

Four draws out of six in front of their own fans has done little to apease the sense of growing concern about City’s promotion credentials. But it’s a miserable run of just two triumphs in 10, in all competitions, that has heaped more pressure on today’s arrival of Brighton.

After back-to-back defeats prior to the international break which ended with a late capitulation at Nottingham Forest, Norwich appear to be heading towards a battle to avoid mid-table mediocracy. Yet boss Adams knows that two victories could catapult his club from 10th to top, if results go their way, and he’s determined to add the next three points to the club’s tally in Norfolk this afternoon.

This view makes it look a 1-1 draw.

For those that hav travelled I hope it's better than the Huddersfield v Sheffield Wednesday game ..nil nil after 55 mins ..14 attempts on goal..but nothing on target

Wheel loose but we won't BIN THE FIN.

 

[Insel affe]

Only one win @ Carrow Road in our last nine visits......

Still we are going to express ourselves on the pitch today and let Sami worry about our league position.

although I might be a tad worried as expect Bolton to win and can see Wigan beating Middlesbrough also Birmingham getting something at Rotherham.

Today is a must win I am afraid for Sami, we cannot loooooooooose ground

Not far off my choice. Squad identical except I excluded Baldock altogether in favour of O'Grady on the bench. I had Calderon in as an extra defender instead of Baldock in the starting XI.

Strong team. I don't know who this Johnson is?

After struggling to get a first team place under manager Gary McAllister due to the emergence of Fabian Delph, Johnson joined League One rivals Brighton & Hove Albion on loan until 3 January 2009.[10] Johnson scored twice on his debut during the 3–2 victory over Leicester City.[11] Johnson scored four goals in 10 games on loan at Brighton before returning to his parent club Leeds United, now with a new manager, Simon Grayson. Johnson found himself back in the first team picture as Leeds reached the playoff semi finals against Millwall.

Bradley I guess we had him on loan a few seasons ago.

 

[perseus]

Are Norwich playing two wide players? This might give us a chance in midfield. I fancy our chances now. 1-1 would be a success.
