Welcoming bunch of lads on there, seem genuine football fans too; knowledge about other clubs, broader sense of whats going on in football too. Definitely no chip on their shoulder, unlike some others. I've personally got a soft spot for Norwich fans because of mates, and now the Hughton link. Consensus seems to be that we should be wary of Snodgrass. Holt hasn't scored this season so if he starts I'd be definitely be wary of the big man. However, unlike the last time we played Norwich during an injury crisis, the injuries aren't necessarily playing to their strengths. We were comprehensibly taken apart in aerial duels last time round. With Taylor and Williamson in the centre I think we should be confident of competing for headers on a much more even basis. It's still not clear which of our players are going to be available but given Pardiola isn't one to risk rushing back players I'd no be surprised to see a similar team that took to the field against Everton with Ba starting as a lone (but well supported) front man and Perch and Anita starting in their stronger positions.
If Tiote and Cisse are back I'd hope it'd be something like this:
I'm confident about this game, so I fully expect to draw and ruin a decent weekend's football yet.
