He's on the bench which is fine.

Why fuck about, just go with the Norwich side.

Is anyone in any doubt about how this is going to pan out?

No, a solid win.

Would Davis, Green, and Hogan work?

Hogan playing off Davis, with Green and Hotlips lurking just behind would be fab.

The worry for me is that in a back 3, due to their lack of mobility, Terry and Samba both have to play centrally, and only one of them can

I think Samba is there to try and nullify the big fella upfront for them, We'll see if he's up to it .

Let's just hope Bristol City are really shit.

Elmo in at right back/wing back is a joke if we are under any pressure. The man can't defend but then Bruce would have known that having managed him at both Sunderland and Hull.
