Red button?
Main game on Sky I believe.  So no need for red button if you have NowTV

They're strong at set-pieces but nothing special in open-play. The key may be in not conceding silly free-kicks and corners and taking the chances that Deano will make sure we create.

Lost last two visits, can see us getting beat in this one. But then Steve Bruce isn't our boss anymore. Prove me wrong please, Deano. 2-1 Norwich.

I've got a feeling we'll win this even though it looks really tough

For some reason forgot we were playing tomorrow despite it being a full midweek round, was looking more at the QPR game on Friday.

Tough schedule and we've been poor there last two seasons (one of the few fixtures getting Lambert back would actually help as his record there was amazing).

Would take a point no question and then beat QPR. Norwich had a slow start and looked to be having another bottom half season but they've been in great form last 6 weeks and won at Forest at the weekend.

Can see us losing this 2-1.

Tough game.  I’d take the draw now, and of course the win on Friday...would set us up nicely

The past two performances we've not laid a glove on them.

So insipid and lifeless.

With the quality up top we have and if we can ensure we're as keen on the press, then we'll cause them problems.

Tough 0-0. If you are going by car don't  forget to go in the BP garage on the A11 at Thickthorn and ask about Alan Partridge.  It drives them mad and they are all Narch fans.

Or just go in and buy loads of windscreen washer fluid.

This one is going to be tough, they seem to be playing ok. I'll go for a 1-2 though. Abraham and Grealish with ours. Robert Fleck with theirs. Bolasie to have a poor game and is confronted in the Linton Travel Tavern after the game by an angry fan with a big plate.

I would start with Conor in place of McGinn but baring in mind we have QPR on Friday that's three games in six days so will he rest some players for the QPR game to keep them fresh but I reckon we will win 2-1 whatever team he puts out.

A draw wouldn't be a disaster tonight, hoping for the 3 points though.
