Yeah, I wondered about a change of formation but the 3 centre backs option seems to be set in stone right now.

Seen a video of him where he pings lots of superb long balls which are inch perfect. Makes plenty of decent saves helped by getting his angles right. Looks to have hands like flypaper rather than crisp packets as he catches quite a few balls that were hit hard which is quite unusual in modern day keepers who tend to parry everything.

Not expecting Fellows to play in this one. He'll be a big loss and we have no natural replacement so we'll likely be less potent as an attacking force. I'm predicting a 1-1 draw which would not be a bad result in my view.

Agree with this but don't think it will happen.

Not sure whether you're suggesting Bazunu is good enough so correct not to sell or illustrating the point that SR do sell players who haven't lived up to expectations. If the former I have no problem with that as the game is all about opinions. If the latter my point stands.

He's got a better record for us than Tonda 🙂

I'm not expecting Fellows to play but Tonda didn't rule him out. Probably trying to keep Norwich guessing.

I think SR spent a lot of money on him and they continue to hope he'll come good which is clouding their judgement. Time they admitted to themselves we were stitched up by Man City, cut their losses and sort out the goalkeeping problem. They've given Bazunu a good run but he just doesn't have it at this level.

If it is a groin strain, depending on the severity, he could be out for a month or two. Hope it's something that'll heal in a couple of weeks but even then he'll have to get up to speed again. This has come at a bad time for us because he's crucial to how we play.

Even if he's training I'd be amazed if Tonda puts him in the starting line-up as he won't be match fit.

Wonder if they'd take Bazunu. Imagine the slating he'd get from the Geordies.

Tonda has deservedly been nominated for Manager of the Month.

Fellows is a doubt for this game and we don't have a ready made replacement. Be interesting to see how Tonda lines us up if he's not fit. Hope he doesn't opt for Wee Man.

If he's not being helped and he thinks he needs to be it's up to Bazunu to make it known - he is allowed to open his mouth.
