Marching On Together

I hope we set up in a similar way to how we did at Wolves formation wise. Norwich's best attacking players are Hoolahan (best player in the league), Pritchard and Howson (injured) Norwich may be resting players, however, I think at least one of those two will play. Norwich appear to be a 4-2-3-1 team like us and clearly on paper are a better team than us so we need to adjust our system and play a 4-3-3, however, our wingers play more centrally. All of their wingers seem to cut inside to get goals rather than staying out wide, so it is vital that we absolutely pack the midfield to give them as little space as possible and to stop them from cutting inside and having shots at goals or finding through balls, if you give: Hoolahan, Pritchard, Murphy, Brady or Jarvis space they will cause us huge problems. We cannot afford to go for a
4-2-3-1 tonight in my opinion it's a recipe for disaster Hoolahan or Pritchard will be able to find the space too easily between Mowatt/Pablo and O'Kane/Viera.
The two full backs will hopefully be able to get forward especially Tyler Denton who appears to be a very similar left back to Charlie Taylor also appears to be good with both feet as well.
Roofe and Mowatt are 2 players who although they haven't been average at best so far this season, have shown already this season when they are more central they can cause a lot of problems for the opposition. I would tell the attacking 3 of: Mowatt, Roofe and Wood don't go anywhere near your own half just focus on winning us the game and sticking to your position. I think there is a massive goal threat with Roofe, Mowatt and Wood. Roofe can cut inside onto his right foot Mowatt can cut inside onto his left foot.

Really really wanted to do my first away VLOG of the season at Wolves, however, as me and my mate agreed it really wouldn't have been a good idea in the Wolves end plus I wouldn't have been able to talk about the game or offer a fans perspective of the game during the game.

But it looks like both teams are fielding 8 changes
So it is second strings for both teams.

I predicted eight of the starting X1 in my initial post on this thread
