This is must win game for Norwich if they want to get into the play-off picture. If they go a goal down we could end up winning by 2 or 3 as they chase the game. But if they score first, I think we'll lose.
I think this will be our biggest test so far. They have quite a few injury worries but still are better than the league suggests and I imagine they will be up there at the end of the season. I got a feeling it will be a score draw but my heart thinks if we get at them early then we can get a win.
Lambert in his pre-match interview emphasises that they will play on the 'front foot', and that they are at home. This suggests to me effort effort effort. it depends if they also have team shape and nous and threat to go with big effort at home. It may be the classic situation of getting through the first quarter of the match unscathed and than trying to assert our play on Norwich....it may be difficult if we concede early. If we can get an away draw that is still a good result and maintains our points cushion, but a defeat will not be a disaster, providing we win the next home game.
easier than we think ala tranmere, and important to get back to winning ways to prove we are not rattled by dropping points last time out. 3-1, and a good attacking game.
What sort of football is Lambert getting them to play? We can be better when teams attack us and try and pass the ball around, rather than get 11 men behind the ball and force us to try and break them down.

But I've gone for the win.
Assuming the team from Southampton are all fit, then an unchanged side and I hope that Parky will give McLeod and or McKenzie run out and maybe Sodje.
Looking forward to this 1 second game going to this season COME ON YOU REDS!!!!
COYR.
