Simple:

Will we bounce back against Norwich?

Would you name an unchanged team?

I'd probably stick Hoyte in. Whing has been out for a while and suddenly had 3 games in a week, I always worry about players being rushed back from injury.

I don't remember the last time we won at Norwich, anyone want to remind me?

Totally forgotten that. Norwich are one of those teams that I always feel are gonna beat us, quite convicingly, at their place but maybe I shouldn't be so negative about tomorrow.

Why not?

Hoyte should come in for El-Abd. Kuipers for Smith if possible.

He was terrible against Leeds. As a couple of people have said before. He does his usual "I've played well for one game, so Im a billy bignuts now" and prances about not doing a lot. Him and El Abd down the left side is so weak, and we get targetted there. Last week (Southampton) we had to put Bennett there and it made him barely a threat going forward.

No matter how many coaches/managers we go through, he still seems to be the only player in our team incapable of kicking a football over head height.

Bennett was poor on the ball against Southampton, even before he was switched to the left, and against Leeds. I don't see many people calling for him to be dropped?

Whing needs a rest. Playing 3 games in 7 days after injury is too much and he really struggled on Saturday. Straight swap for Hoyte.

Would also take out Cox and give Aaron Davies a go, if he still figures in Gus's plans.

I think it will be a 2-2 draw, which I would be more than happy with.

I think whing forgot where he was for the second goal, from what i saw on TV. You can't give Beckford that kind of space.

I think the whole squad will be feeling jaded - heavy East Anglian pitch, so changes are inevitable. I'd bring Hoyte in and maybe some more stregth in midfield. Norwich look flaky to me this season - if we can get it together, we can beat them. And no matter what happens against Charlton, we'd have bagged six points from the first nine during that daunting looking run of four games.

Anyway if you want TRUE bouncebackability you should have picked Ian Dowie as manager, he invented the phrase....

I was surprised when I saw that word as the title of a thread, I thought it died along with Dowie's future managerial prospects.

Be suprised if we get anything.

League positions don't lie at this stage of the season.

Draw would be ok

A draw would be excellent not just OK


Seeing as our home record is the worst in the league and we are dependant on getting points away is the reason why i think a win would be excellant , a draw would be ok. Obviously the mannor in which we draw will also make a difference
