As a Norfolk man I do have the tools to listen to the budgies down the road and I occasionally tune in on the way home from my football matches to their match day commentary, usually post match analysis and they are in a very similar position to us on the pitch. Saturday saw the yellow birds lose 1-0 away to Fulham which isn't exactly a scandalous result but ...... What Norwich's version of Eddie Gray stated after the game were all the issues we currently have, for instance. Norwich had 60% possession against Fulham but only mustered a single shot on target. They also stated that teams have fathomed them out by sitting back and allowing Naaaarwich to knock the ball around all afternoon, mostly sideways in their own half with very little penetration. The opposition opt to hassle them and catch them out with long balls and counters. I really thought he was talking about Leeds at this point. Norwich also according to this guy have a large squad and nearly all of those that started on Saturday have serious competition for places and are not guaranteed to start. Likewise, we have Sloth, Adryan and Sharp who could quite easily come in on Tuesday.
So, were facing a team out of form just like ourselves who like to keep the ball and don't do a lot with it, they are also vulnerable on the counter, my worry is ....... Are we tailor made for them???
Another side note, Norwich have gone behind first pretty much every time this season, this is going to be a carbon copy of Friday's defeat to Rotherham.
They are in the same boat

Mine's a different Fatima, mine's a ginger haired one that has a lisp.
She's the one with a rather amusing lisp. And yes I'm sure about that, basically because I've made her up.
In real life Mrs Onion's sister is a bit of a bruiser, jet black hair and piercings to go with her numerous tattoo's. Cracks walnuts with her eyelids...!
I'm sure you'll know the type.

Don't tell me she's one of them picked up from a Russian street corner given a baseball bat and told to go get you as much money as they can?.
Now we know why you say you don't have to work!.
