Norwich City V Leeds Utd - Match Thread - Post Match Debate

[1964white]

The last time we played Norwich at Carrow Road, we won 1-2 with Raphinha & Rodrigo on the scoresheet.

Also, I took this wonderful photo of the Chelsea pensioners marching around the pitch prior to the game

I was stood in front of life-long fan & author of Leeds books, David Watkins. A good mate of our very own Barlow Boy.

I think if top 2 is the target as it should be a point isn't excellent anymore

Don't have that luxury until we are back within a point or two of the top 2.

Expecting it to be called off anyway

Long way to go... Ipswich will fade imo, Leicester likely to drop points at some point.

I'd do with that line-up Farke may select james ahead of Anthony.

I assume you're thinking Gray at RB again? I wonder if he wont go with Shackleton and Archie on the bench? Give Archie some breathing space.

A great selection of our previous goals vs. Norwich--here's hoping we have a few more for the highlight reel after tomorrow:

I'm sure they will but they have set an abnormally fast pace whereas we historically are enough for playoffs but someway off top 2.

I think realistically we need to reach the 2ppg mark by match 15.

That's basically all wins in the next 4.

It's hard to judge what is enough because Leicester and Ipswich are far above what's normal at this stage

If Ipswich has played and beat Rotherham that would be the biggest points total after 12 games in Championship history.

Leicester could then beat it

So normal thought processes don't apply.

Memory lane... Monk vs Wagner.
Wonder how he would get on against Farke

[PhoenixUnited]

Leicester ain't going to drop many points all season we ain't consistent enough to string half a dozen wins together our form is too patchy and the gap even at this early stage of the season is huge already
Tomorrow is definitely a must win game anything else is no good whatsoever

Glass, as ever, less than half empty eh G?

Just been realistic fella, the gap for this stage in the season is huge , it's not a few points it's already in double figures and the form we are showing so far is not consistent enough
The team selection is all over the place it changes by the week because he ain't got the quality or squad depth to pick a settled side

[AcrossThePondAsh]

The end to this international break couldn't come quick enough...it's match day!

Used to see Delia & her other half in Waitrose quite often. She lives in Norfolk. Lettsbeigh Avenue I believe.

Groan - one of those shite jokes that still made me chuckle.

Why don’t normal thought processes apply ?

You are playing if aunty had balls again.

Long long way to go no point dwelling on what other teams are doing you will wear out the buttons on your Casio watch.

No it isn't, Farke is quite rigid with his team selection.

He has tended to play more or less the first XI in our games of late.

Leicester will lose a few of their stars in January. The longer Farke is in charge the better I feel about the squad. Let's enjoy it.

Only when they are available how many players have played right back alone this season gray ayling Shackleton we don't have the quality or strength in depth to cover every position stop kidding yourself fella

they are a country mile ahead of us in the table and nigh on certainties for Promotion, they have no need to sell

[Cjay]

Just hope Farke has us playing to our strengths.

Front foot, control the ball stuff.

Not this passive stuff he did vs Southampton.

[Irish Ian]

It has been two weeks off but I haven't really missed the footy.

But today away to DFs former club has a bit of an edge to it and I am raring to go.

I hope there is plenty of visual radio options available come KO

[Byebyegeegee]

Another tough game today. There aren’t many easy games of course, apart from say Sheffield Weds at home and that one didn’t go according to plan did it? But we are better now than we were then and should make a decent fist of it, unless we have another off day like we did at Southampton.

Come on Leeds!
