Norwich City v Leeds Utd Match Thread

[hector]

I wish Kick off had been today. Because we can at least get through this day knowing we haven’t lost again

We can mate......

I can quite categorically say that we have not lost, nor will we lose today.......

So sleep easy tonight mate.....

Still think the EFL need to chose sporting integrity over whatever they think the playoffs is good for, we have 17 points more than Norwich it’s just not right that that gap means next to sod all now. Really will be sickening if West Brom or Norwich go up because over the course of the season they did not deserve to.

They should handicap the playoffs. Give us a 17 goal start.

You are speaking for yourself on that issue, I am still as sharp and bright as a button. Incidentally, what was the score from the first leg, I cannot find the matchday thread.

[whiteinfrance]

It seems there are a few not too bright buttons on here - old gits

[Broad Ford]

Can anyone confirm if Gnonto is available for selection? I though he was out for a couple weeks, but not entirely sure.

Also, is Gray the right back?

Sara is the main focus for my squad attention. This central midfielder needs to be closed down and neutralised as quickly as possible. Give this Brazilian space and time and he could do a Raphina for the budgies making the peacocks look like common queala.

One can't guess how this will go.
I'm nervous.

Interesting article on BBC sport (not sure if it is noted elsewhere in another thread) where Farke says he would not swap one player.

I understand managers rhetoric and cliche’s to build confidence etc, but this is rather an interesting suggestion. Personally, if I had my pick and I am just basing it upon what is available in the championship I would have 3/4 players left.

Beautiful morning down in Kent. Let us hope the lads can find some inspiration and get a result.

Brilliant Ash, that’s the spirit we need today and less of this “ Oh we’re going to get beat today, we’re terrible, we’re doomed I tell you doomed s***e. We are Leeds…………………

Farke should select Joseph but he won’t because he is an arrogant stubborn prick. If we lose the play offs he has to be sacked
Earlier this season he bored everyone at a press conference banging on about all the reasons why Piroe is not a number 9. Ok if that’s his view but then when Bamford is unavailable who does he select as his number9…….ya Piroe. That’s why he is a prick.

Sadly he’ll still be in charge come what August.

Because on paper getting into the playoffs will be seen as a success on paper for a manager trying to bounce back from relegation first time around.

You’ll have to look at the small print of the history books to see he threw automatic promotion down the pan. (Which most won’t do)

I'm dreading seeing our team, and quite a few things in it.

2 from Gray - Kamara - Gruev won't cut it DM wise for me.
Firpo starting will stress me to fck.
Piroe in a lone role will equally stress me.
And a high press with the wrong formation and players will be a gamble that could/couldn't pay off.

Also, in this heat, we'll probably see some tippy tappy retaining of possession, and i don't think we're too spectacular at that, innit, they could cut thru us like butter. Enjoy.

PS

Not to worry, i've been preparing for this all week, I ordered another couch that arrived yesterday.

MOT, Cussie!!

[Kennyb41]

On a plus note :

I have absolutely no confidence whatsoever going into this, and when i'm very confident everything goes titz up.

Hiding behind a couch during a football match is the ultimate stress-relief yoga pose. As the tension on the screen rises, so does your heart rate, until you're practically doing cardio behind that sofa. It's like your own personal meditation retreat, except instead of chanting "om," you're muttering "come on!" while peeking through the cushions.

Here’s hoping that vid has been continually shown to the players this week and gets them hyped for this one. Would love to see a Crawley Town type of scoreline in this one…

[Irish Ian]

A prior engagement means I won't see much today.

Clean sheet would be nice

Sorry to hear about your bad eye sight, I hope the affliction passes

They should handicap the playoffs. Give us a 17 goal start.

And it would still be a nail-biter…
