The Official Norwich City v Bristol City Match Day Thread

Selling Ayling before Matthews was ready could cost us dearly in my opinion.

That being said I'm going 2-0 city double from Little

Blimey.

Worried about Little, and two up front with Tomlin. Pack in for Brownhill which feels right.

Not messing about. Hopefully he feels it is the best team rather than just trying to fit three in to two.

Thought Kodjia was in <insert minor premier league side here>.

edit - if the graphic is right, maybe it is one up front with Kodjia on the right. Could just work...

Matthews on bench, so hopefully not to far away

Agree, think we're far too open. However, should we be critical? Going there to have a go at them

Hope so, attack being the best form of defence and all that. I can`t see us doing much else with that side TBH. If we did get in front options on the bench to tighten it up though.

If they line up as per the picture then I like the look of that. Kodjia right; Tomlin in hole behind Abraham.

[RobArnold10]

Right formation, but Kodj to protect Little? Hmmm. I think if GON and MP play well (though they may have to put in a big shift) we may be okay. Keeping possession may be our best way to get through this!

Drinking tonight is it? Bit irrelevant. 

[BCFC Grim]

Much rather go there and look to win than trying for a draw. We've got players who can hurt the opposition, and they are all in that starting line up. I like it.

[Meh]

City 10 to 3 @ bookies to win - seemed to generous to ignore #newcastlebeertokens

[Pickle Rick]

Could have done a better paint job.

[dereks no1]

Heart says 2 1 city, Kodjia and Flint with the goals but i can see a 2 0 loss with Jerome getting 2

I hope they will be able to play well tonight attached to those small red plastic coracles!

Really like the look of that apart from little. How long is going to take to get Mathews up to speed.

Not being critical but he will look foolish if we lose 3-0 ! Wouldn't put it past us to win though

[Garland-sweden]

Strong team. Norwich-SW 0-0. Norwich was not good that game. Easy point for Wednesday. Tonight its gonna be difficault, but we are Bristol City, we have always chanse. Always believe, COYR!!!

[Super]

I thought Kodjia was still in Bristol?! Standard bollox.

It's a Subbuteo team, you must have played it.

Wow I thought I was a pessamist! I never go into a game thinking that. Sometimes there's a realism after we've been soundly beaten but it always starts 0-0 and we have players that can win games

Yup...a proper going over

[TheCulturalBomb]

Would be gobsmacked if this is anything less than a loss. Arguably the best team in the league and will open us at ease, considering how average the defence has been in terms of allowing goalscoring chances. Not goals but play in and around the box we have been lucky.. Need to start getting possession on our side.

Isn't it refreshing to go to teams like Norwich and say this is us, we're going to give you a game can you deal with us? Or go to Derby and say we aren't as good as them? Just an opinion.

However, I do think there's a balance between the two. Personally think we're too open, but sure as anything we'll worry them at the back

Just like the Little bashing on this thread.

And claiming Ayling was a quality defender when he really isn't.

Anyhow, COYR.

IMO Ayling is better. Just my opinion.

I imagine when most of us looked a the fixtures we all pretty much thought we wouldn`t get anything at Norwich so go for it I say.

Completely agree mate!

Im sure norwich see little as a weak link in their prep for this match so wouldnt be surprised if that side gets targetted. 

[samo II]

Wow!

So LJ & Pembo decided to go all;

 

[RedBrizzleRobin]

This one really could go either way. We'll either rip them on the counter or we'll get horribly exposed and stuffed, brave move by LJ, very gutsy.

[Wanderingred]

I do fear the worst and we should prepare ourselves for the likelihood of defeat... but then I look at our wins at Middlesbrough, Southampton, Leicester, Swansea and draws at West Ham and Newcastle. We have got good results at top Championship sides before, so why not tonight? COYR!

If we do happen to get beat, no f****ing meltdowns please.

Williams blatantly off then! Releived somewhat to see his omission rather than JK's
