THE MATCH - SATURDAY 13TH AUGUST 2016 at 3PM BST

 V   

So after playing one of the relegated teams in our opener we now get another of them in our first away game!! Norwich have become a bit of a yo-yo team and I don't see that trend altering this season either. Arguably they are the best equipped of the relegated teams to bounce straight back because firstly they have been there, done it and got the t-shirt with regards to promotion, and secondly they have kept virtually their whole prem team together.

This will be the 52nd meeting with them with a decent record of W22 D14 L15, and our away record against them is also decent at W8 D7 L11 and since 2005 we have played at Carrow Road 5 times and won 4 of them, so lets hope that trend continues!!


WHO'S IN AND WHO'S OUT

After our midweek friendly where the result didn't matter I expect we will once again see about 10 changes from Tuesdays team, essentially back to the stating lineup that played Villa. The one injury question we have is regarding Fletcher, and seeing the photos on Twatter of his cut I see no way he can play in this one!!  So how will we line up, here's mine:

Westwood

Hunt  Lees  Hutchinson  Pudil

Wallace Bannan  Abdi  Lee

Forestieri

Hooper


Will he start with two strikers up front or will he essentially pack the midfield??  Will it be Hooper or Nuhiu up top in the lone role?  Will Buckley come in after a decent outing int he above friendly?? What do you think we will look like when the team is announced??


THE LAST MATCH

Ignoring midweek again, we got off to a good start against Villa, looking very good until Fletcher went off and then while the 2nd half was better for Villa we took the one clear chance in the game to seal the three points. So we got the same start as we did last season, lets see if we can build on that this season unlike last!!

I hope im wrong but if we play that 20 minutes we did against Villa in the second half then its not going to be a happy day as Norwich have the firepower to batter mistakes like that heres the stats by the way http://www.11v11.com/teams/sheffield-wed...ch%20City/ as like maddix i always thought we where shit at carrow road but like charlie has stated and the facts state we are quite good although everytime i went there in the 80s we lost and i got locked up once so ive never liked the place

im not sure what CC will do as the away games are never quite as obvious as the Home plan tactics ! personaly i would pack out midfield and just hope that in one off the counter attacks the cold ruthless Fessi will put punish them

Id go a 4-5-1 without Hooper as for me hes too lazy in these midfield battle games and he ends up not through his own fault! but picking his arse

Id stick Helan in there instead with the same team as Villa obviously Fletch wont play and hope his pace catches them on the break ? hell have to pass to fessi offcourse because it doesnt count if you hit the train station or the church at the back of the ground but he could be effective ? theres a 50--50 chance isnt there id like to say give the job to buckley but ive never seen him play so that would be talking bullshit like most of the knobheads who stand on the Kop

Predictions

Heart says 1-1 Fessi and my head says
59

Cheers, SCO!

I'd expect to see the same line up with Hooper starting. It did look promising when Fletch started, so that bodes well for the future.
I'll snatch your effing hand off for a point right now.

2-2 Hooper

AAAHH

Hopefully this fella will show us the way!
