Not sure what time team news is released for FA cup games, it'll be either 2pm or 1:45pm I guess
Will try to post team on here later if the board allows as its playing up a lot this morning

Yes please post stargazer as away at the moment. The board gone like a rocket for me but using an iPhone.

I really hope he gives the youngsters some time today and maybe start Maja and Griffiths. I would also keep Taylor in the same position and start Gilchrist.

Credit to Ramsey for this! I hope those new incoming players do us proud. Interesting to see how Mustapha does too!

[Omegstrat6]

Fair dues, don't see much wrong with the starting selection given the circumstances and the fact that it's a cup game. Hope our younger players can prove themselves!

[Omegstrat6]

May be very early in the game but sounds like we are sitting too deep and inviting pressure from Norwich who will surely capitalise on it if we continue like this.

[Bombers right foot]

One thing that is certain, Whitwell isn?t ready, Imray is a complete disaster of a footballer

[Bombers right foot]

1-0 down, what a shambles of a club we are, sitting deep asking for trouble, no attacking threat, Eric Ramsey your football is sh1t

[Omegstrat6]

Whitwell did well out on loan but the Championship is another level again and sounds like his inexperience is showing.

After a bright start it sounds like we are making it far too easy for Norwich to break through our lines and dominate the game. Now 1-0 down which is hardly a surprise but we need to start to push forward ourselves more and get the ball out to Bostock and Mikey. Mustapha unlucky again but we need to do much more in terms of attack and far far better defensively.

[Bombers right foot]

We can?t string more than two passes together, this 3,4 or 5-0 written all over it

[Bombers right foot]

Well played Josh Griffiths, should be 3-4 nil down

[stargazer_1962]

A very one sided first half
Hopefully makes changes to at least put us in the game 2nd half

[Omegstrat6]

Currently riding our luck and fortunate that Norwich aren't more than 1-0 up. There are a few players out there today who either haven't got a lot of Championship experience or had a lot of game time so not entirely unexpected against a decent Norwich side but wonder if the second half will see Mowatt and Molumby on to put some strength into midfield and help prevent us being so easily over-run?

Let's hope so!
