The ref has had us once this season at home to Forest which was a win for us but a total of 8 yellow cards. In 14 games he has given 43 yellow cards but no red.

Fourth Official is Keith Stroud, he was the main man a few games ago V Wolves. Would he take this as a demotion? Five yellows then, thought he had a fair game.

Think they will come and have a go today which will make for a more open game. Hoping to see a return for solly on the bench to give us that much needed pace late in the game to stretch teams. Going 2-1 us today

I normally approach these games with a guarded pessimism but have a weird feeling that today we'll get a decent win. The pressure is on Norwich to get all three points and I suspect their style of play will suit us.
