    Famewo unavailable and Stockley's hip problem likely to keep him out means the team should be something like:

    MacG;
    Clare (or Elerewe), Innis, Pearce;
    DJ, Dobbo, Lee, Gilbey, Purrington;
    Washington, Burstow or Leko.
    .
    The fact that we don't appear to have anything else to play for barring an incredibly bad/good series of results has generated more interest than usual in the Cup games, and there will be a decent crowd there on Sunday. After a good performance by our second string on Tuesday the bench should be interesting.

    I would love to see Charlton really give Norwich an old school Cup game and rattle the canaries' cage.

    But I fear they will have far too much for us.
    I just hope we don't get humiliated.

    I fear they’ll have too much and without Stockley we’ll have too little!

    It was a lose lose situation- although I personally know more scum supporters so it’s slightly better for the banter stakes <cheers>

    Shame to see things being thrown at players from the stands during the Hull City v Everton game.

    Commentators are saying this is serious problem now on the continent.
    With safe standing beginning to come in, it would be a pity to see fan behaviour slip back to old hooligan ways.
    Very much hope nothing (beyond verbals) gets chucked at Norwich players tomorrow.
    Absolutely no need for it.

    Ht 0-0

    Leko had a very good chance to open the scoring

    I feel there’s more to come from Norwich

    Ft 0-1 Norwich

    honest performance and Norwich were there for the taking

    No tempo or ruthlessness up front. Someone needs to be brave

    No quality at set pieces

    Shame really

    I’d have kept Burstow on

    Henderson's free-kick at the end was the only decent one.Thought we played well, were the better team for an hour but when you miss your chances you know what happens. Innis for me was MOM, and we wouldn't have lost if he hadn't had to come off. Lee was also outstanding, Clare didn't put a foot wrong, but DJ is so frustrating. Can he actually cross a ball? Even when he's in space he fluffs it. However if we keep playing like that we should win more than we lose.

    Don’t forget we were missing our two main strikers. I think if they were both fit we would have won that.

    Just seen a replay of our disallowed goal. Looks like the goalie caught the ball then spilled it when he landed on his elbows. He may have gone ballistic just to con the ref. Goalies are so protected these days that nobody complained.
