    They seem able to hear what is said and of course view it too.

    For some reason the powers that be including the clubs themselves don’t want the live audio heard to help fans understand why a decision has been made .

    They were supposed to bring in semi automated offsides but that seems to have been delayed ..

    Well the Leeds game went as expected and now we have Blackburn tonight. Oh joy.

    We are a bit of a bogey team to them but the bookies giving them odds of 12/5, I'm tempted.

    We've been meh. Some good performances, always look a threat going forward, but a bit of a car crash at the back and we've received a couple spankings against Derby and Blackburn.

    Done well second half but feels like we need to create a shedload of chances to score 2 at the moment, which we always need to do as we always concede

    Leeds at home in what should be a good yardstick sort of game for us. Win this and they might as well carve our name into the trophy now.

    Gunn
    Fisher - Duffy - Cordoba - Doyle
    Nunez - McLean
    Crnac - Schwartau - Sainz
    Sargent
    Injuries aside it's probably same again, only unforced change I could see is Slimane coming in for Schwartau.

    Hopefully there's a bit of extra fuel in this one for those that were involved in the Playoff embarrassment.

    Tough game for us, although we did get a win and a draw at yours last season. Either of those results would be decent tonight.

    We've quite a few injuries with James, Solomon, Ampadu, Wober and Schmidt all out injured. Hopefully we see Tanaka from the start, seems to be decent on the ball.

    Across the 4 games last season you beat us both tactically as well as player for player. Thankfully I don't really think that'll play into this game much though considering how much the squads have changed and the fact we actually have a manager now.

    I'm really looking forward to seeing Thorup go up against Farke tbh. They're similar in what they want to see at a high level but go about it in very different ways so it should be interesting. Thorup is probably less idealistic and more likely to change for an opposition, although maybe Farke has changed in that regard over the years.

    Tough game tonight against boro

    We need to find room for mikey Johnston to come in. We are more than capable of scoring every game. Defence looked very good till the weekend

    Luton away tonight. For the first time in years everything is new and I go into most games half anticipating a hammering... But out of nowhere we seem to over perform under Des Buckingham (who if he continues won't be with us for the long-term sadly). So far we have picked up some cracking results.

    I've WhatsApp'd my Luton supporting mate and he doesn't think Luton are up to much and isn't hopeful. Still, I'm worrying!

    Cardiff away tonight. The way both sides are playing this should be a routine win for Wall, but we have form for ballsing these sorts of games up.

    Wallace in for fellows is a big call.

    Wallace not had a look in so far. Surprised to see him instead of Johnston.

    37 minutes gone at Carrow Road. Four yellow cards, a penalty and tons of injury time coming up at the end of the first half

    Norwich 1-0 Leeds

    I think most would have gone for a draw..

    Unfortunately you were right.

    We're bound to lose against Preston tomorrow.

    Have Coventry kick started their season?

    well that was shit. thought we were unlucky to be 1-0 down at ht but they definitely deserved it overall. We were dreadful second half, looked out of our feet.

    We're definitely improving, although still giving up too many chances, however last 3 have been 3-1, 4-1, 3-1 so can't complain. Even after giving the QPR midfield the freedom of the pitch for the first hour, and gifting them a daft penalty, we still cruised to an easy victory. Some better finishing and it could easily have finished 6-4 to us.

    That was a relatively poor game tonight, but I can’t begin to tell you just how dross Derby looked. The sheer amount of space we were allowed for Mundle to waltz in to the penalty area and square to Isidor for the second was unbelievable.

    Not a great performance but a decent result.

    Thought we controlled the game without the ball in the first half and countered well. Cordoba coming off at half time and the subsequent reshuffle in our back line meant we struggled to play out in the second half.

    Kellen Fisher has always looked talented but he's had a hell of a break out in last few games. Decent shout for man of the match in all 3.

    Come onnnnnn. I thought we were worth our win. Could have gone either way first half but we managed an early goal. Second half there was a clear difference.

    A win! I'm going to savour this tonight.

    Poor result.

    Time to drop ajayi grant and swift.

    Wallace very shit. Time to move him on in January.

    Still in a good position for this stage

    Need to get back to winning ways.

    Think a draw was probably a fair result, although if we hadn't taken off Gnonto and Ramazani when we were on top we could have sneaked it. Farke always seems to make poor subs when chasing a result (but usually good ones when we're in the lead). Is that a trend he did at you too?

    I assume that the ref didn't give us a penalty in the first half for the foul on Gnonto as we got a shot off, so he played advantage?
