Really excited about this game, predicting a THRILLING 3-3 draw with a late Gordon Greer header rescuing a point.

Gordon's got form for dramatic late goals against Norwich, from a time before he played for the Albion. He didn't score often for Swindon, but he scored against the Albion at Withdean in 2009 and against Norwich when they were in League 1.

Away game 3-3
I thought our passing was uncharacteristically poor in that game and Ince received a handful of suicide passes. Albion had more of the ball, but did not make so good use of it. Frustrating match to watch as our mis-passes gave the ball away too much and Norwich were a bit like this as well.

Reports of the Celtic manager being in the directors box today have been dismissed as a typo error.

Same referee as our 1-0 defeat at home to Brentford

I hope we show more ambition than we did in that game. A repeat of the excitement at Carrow Road earlier this season please.

Is it 3pm or 4pm kick off as seagull player says another 2 hours before kick off?
