    Here we are again, only a few days after our 2nd home win, both of which have also yielded a clean sheet. Our usual fragile defence for once looked reasonably solid and we were actually winning headers from the opposition’s free kicks/corners – a first in many matches of watching NCFC!!!
    This fixture sees us in 17th and the Brewers a mere 5 places above them and the only team in the Championship with an inferior GD.
    I’m hopeful of a win to move us further up the table and I wonder if DF will make significant changes to the starting 11. It will be interesting to see if Tettey, JM and Basil are rested, so that all are fully fit for the much sterner test against the Blades on Saturday. I hope he leaves the defence as it was and I can see Reed replacing Tettey.

    DF in his presser said that there were no new injury worries after Saturday and he’s not planning wholesale changes.

    I've gone for a Canaries win and I feel that we'll be too strong for the visitors.

    I seem to recall thinking the same last season - only to slip to a 2-1 defeat to them <yikes>
    But, like you, I feel tonight we should have enough.
    All dependent on who plays across the back for us :emoticon-0112-wonde

    Nice one JM Fan, I've also gone for the win but I'm nervous with our propensity for helping out the troubled teams <yikes>

    Well, quite a surprise (a pleasant one) not to see Martin in the starting 11. Also, I didn't expect to osee Tettey there either. Overall VERY happy with the line up and DF has obviously learnt from the horror show at the Den. <ok>

    Reed on the bench, so if Tettey fades, there's a ready made dep without changing shape too drastically <ok>

    Really glad we have stuck with the same team. Now down to the players. Less blame on the manager if we F Up. Keep faith in the winning team, they earned it. On their shoulders now.
