47er Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Bloody hell Jal! We all know we are in the bottom 5 on merit but its still possible for some bad luck to come our way! There are 22 other clubs who could have been playing Norwich away the day after they sack their losing manager but no, it had to be us! That is UNLUCKY no matter what has been happening all season. Be reasonable.

dingles staying down 4ever Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 If he she likes a drink....hopefully it's wee Owen sat next to her. Now that would be a positive!!
LewisF Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Heart over head in this one, but 3-2 Rovers. as capable as Norwich are in attack, they always love to ship a goal or two COYB
rigger Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 I would say it's only unlucky, once the game is over, and if we have gotten nothing. Until then it's still Norwich away.
Tyrone Shoelaces Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 It'll go one of two ways - 1) Minus a manager they'll play like lost souls and we'll get something. 2) Minus a manager they'll play like men transformed and we'll get dicked. I suspect option 2) may be the more likely outcome.

Backroom DE. Posted March 11, 2017 Backroom Posted March 11, 2017 Contrary to some of the comments in this thread, Norwich have actually been very good at home under Alex Neil. They've won 11 out of 17 home games and only lost 3. It's their away form that has been the problem, as they've lost 10 out of 19 away games.
Bigdoggsteel Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Would the rovers squad fly up for this game? Hardly on a bus?

There are no roads that lead into Norwich and the nearest airport is East Midlands. It's a joke and it again highlights the double standards by the Football League. Rovers were threatened with expulsion during the 2014/15 season when Norweb put temporary traffic lights up on Buncer Lane adding a poultry 5 mins to journey time. No such threats to Norwich, they can do what they like, allegedly due to some compromising photos that Delia has filed away of football league members and some promiscuous Norfolk turkeys. Not "bootiful" at all by all accounts.

Irishrover213 Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Can't see us getting anything out of this Norwich are a good side at home. They are been labelled as a shambles so better way to prove people wrong. I think they will throw off the shackles and go for it. Rowett probably their new manager unless cheston calls Delia with a reference for the outstanding candidate. Day for park the bus and try get a point
Mattyblue Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 They've flown. Mate of mine who works at Manchester Airport was chatting with Mogga yesterday.
Dunnfc Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Alan Irvine taking charge with Dean Kiely assisting. They've been playing McGovern in goal recently but he's dodgy on crossing and coming off his line so if he plays today we need to be peppering him. They certainly have a premier league team though, depth and quality wise. Think they will start with: Ruddy Pinto Martin Klose Dijks Howson Tettey Wildschut Hoolahan Pritchard Jerome

Have called the last three matches correctly with the Derby and Wigan wins funding the purchase of a case of quality red and white respectively! Tough one to call today. Can't see a Rovers' win, even a draw might be a stretch - if pushed, would go for a Norwich win by a couple of goals. No surprise by what's happening at Norwich. Think Ed Balls is an intellectual buffoon, even gave Neil a new contract in the summer, and let's just be thankful that he never got his hands on the nation's purse strings.

Who needs Ed Balls in No 11 when Osborne and Hammond have been doing the job for him ? They've adopted many of Labour policies since 2010 and some of the stuff in recent Budgets could been written by Ed himself. Can't see why you wouldn't want an well known British figure as chairman - perhaps you're happy with our Indian owners and their managerial decisions over the past 6 years.
