TEAM NEWS

Norwich City defender Timm Klose is available after a one-match ban, but Moritz Leitner won't play again this season because of a hernia problem.

Grant Hanley, Christoph Zimmermann and Sam Byram are long-term absentees.

Brighton will assess the fitness of defender Adam Webster, who missed Tuesday's defeat by Manchester United with a hamstring injury.

Davy Propper has overcome the minor calf issue that led to his substitution during that match.

Diverticulitis too painful for me to go out tonight, I did a little job for work this morning and boy that was an effort.
As a result I will be chained to computer and phone, watching on monitor and reading comments on match thread via the phone.
Will only have bottled water for company, but hey hoe. :down:
I have gone for a 1 - 2 result, but after reading that I suspect a 0 - 0 will happen.

Worried about this one for several reasons:

1) We should win. Norwich are rubbish. Lost five on the spin and haven't scored in any of them. It's all set up to end both runs.

2) Too many people think this is a must win game. It's not but that won't stop the waves of doom mongering if we lose.

3) The last time we played there.

Head says we'll win with a bit to spare but gut says the opposite and is bricking it...

It will give you flu like symptoms, like all your old injuries starting to ache, as well as some light headedness, possibly raised temperature plus tenderness around the abdominal region.
You will know a full blown attack, it is one of the most painful things I have had and I spent 2 days curled up in a ball till the antibiotics kicked in.
Would be worth having a teaspoon of Metamucil in water once a day, as preventative maintenance, ignore what it says on the packaging as it is overkill, you just need the system ticking over.
It is really painful, right up there with extreme toothache.
The attack I am having is bad, though not as bad others or my very first one , when I thought I would be dead in a matter of days from bowel explosion !
It does pass, but after this one I am going to heed the warnings and cut down on my alcohol consumption, get rid of the secret ciggies and cut down on the red and processed meat.
I already have plenty of salad and veg, so no fibre problem there.

We’ve been terrible since the restart, zero threat up front with Pukki looking as
dangerous as Ricky Van Wolfswinkel. Would be quite incredible if Brighton can’t score at least a couple and very unlikely you’ll be conceding today. 2-0 or 3-0 Brighton for me

Mike, you’ve not been paying attention. We’ve failed to score in 4 of last five games, worst record in 2020...this has got nil nil all over it if I’m honest. That and our carrow rd record makes for some grim stats. I’m hopeful but wouldn’t be surprised if this is a home win. We are just dreadful on the road whoever we play. Best of British to the good folk of Norfolk mind, but please just let us win!

Wouldn’t it be nice to take the lead for once?

And to have a nice, comfortable 3-0 lead, get our cigars out in the second half and play some Potterball.

When was the last time we had a comfortable win like that, I’m thinking West Ham away under Hughton and Watford away first game under GP.

We have to be due one of those again at some point. Maybe today.

Apparently Pogba and Fernandes collided in training recently and are doubtful for the B'muff game.Why couldn't they have done that in the first 5 mins of the game v us :wozza:
