Saint_Ash Posted 26 November, 2012 Share Posted 26 November, 2012 What a positive little chap! Seems ruddy will be out. He's the difference between a draw or loss to them. The front four have to keep peppering the goal a la against Newcastle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SB Posted 26 November, 2012 Share Posted 26 November, 2012 As a Liverpool fan, Ricky will be looking ahead to Saturday I'm sure, Jay Rod to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokyo-Saint Posted 26 November, 2012 Share Posted 26 November, 2012 As a Liverpool fan, Ricky will be looking ahead to Saturday I'm sure, Jay Rod to start. Absolutely! I wouldn't be surprised if him and Nigel don't bother to turn up on Wednesday and just stay home and watch Bread box sets together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crab Lungs Posted 26 November, 2012 Share Posted 26 November, 2012 lets hope ruddy is out..he is a very good keeper Good keeper, but so is Bunn. Turner will be a big miss Sent from my HTC Desire S using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thefunkygibbons Posted 27 November, 2012 Share Posted 27 November, 2012 Got a quid riding on this with a Norwich fan in my office COYR Okay - it is only a token bet, but keeping the momentum is vital until we get to mid table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tokyo-Saint Posted 27 November, 2012 Share Posted 27 November, 2012 Nigel likes it but RL is too young. Sometimes they don't watch TV at all, just sit there listening to cast when games are on. Jay Rod has to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Without a Halo Posted 27 November, 2012 Share Posted 27 November, 2012 Dear god predicetd a 2-0 by both Lawro and a Croatian tennis star... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20486485 Only ManU Man C and us had two predicted wins with 2 goals difference in each! is this justified reward for our form or just poor tipsters? Norwich are on form too lets not forget with 3 clean sheets in their last 4 matches and have wins over Arsenal and Man U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Without a Halo Posted 27 November, 2012 Share Posted 27 November, 2012 The substitutions of Lambert and Ramirez tell me that Nigel Adkins wants to keep them as fresh as possible for mid-week. If we find ourselves in a good position v Norwich in the second half I would expect him to do the same. He as much as anyone will want to give it as good a go as possible at Anfield! Agreed though the Ramierez change was also influenced by the fact he was on a booking and getting a bit frustrated to say the least! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony F Posted 27 November, 2012 Share Posted 27 November, 2012 (edited) Personally, given Ricky's knock plus being pleased with JayRod's 20 minutes on Sunday and the Liverpool game being next up (and Ricky desperate to be in for it) , I not only expect JayRod to start tomorrow, but I would very much like to see him given a chance now we have a formation that everyone understands, with key players who are playing well. I think he could fill a subtley different role to Ricky - but I'd like to see him given the chance to show it. Ricky on the bench maybe.......

Leicestersaint Posted 27 November, 2012 Share Posted 27 November, 2012 Don't change the team and we will win 3 - 1. They are firing on all cylinders and have high levels of confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 27 November, 2012 Share Posted 27 November, 2012 Same team. Get in front, then bring Rickie off. They're a good side, will be well drilled and won't give us a lot of time on the ball. Will be a very tough match and probably just as tough as Liverpool will be on Saturday. Hoping we can use our attacking flair and get them worried. We're always going to be susceptible to the counter though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggles31 Posted 27 November, 2012 Share Posted 27 November, 2012 My Reading supporting mate said Norwich were horrendous when they played them a couple of weeks ago.

Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 27 November, 2012 Share Posted 27 November, 2012 I'm going for 3-0, if Ruddy and Turner are out. Bunn is a good stand in though. If both are fit then 1-1, mainly because we'll take the lead but don't trust us to hold on at the death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tajjuk Posted 27 November, 2012 Share Posted 27 November, 2012 Big games tonight and most likely we will be back in the bottom 3. Best results draw all round?
