....Lucky me, but I have been discussing the match tonight with them. They are confident but to be fair they have every right to be at present. They respect Norwich as a team and see us as one of the best footballing teams in the Division. However they think that might work in their favour as the teams that come out to play they generally beat without too much difficulty whereas those that close them down can give them problems. They also think that the East Anglian Derby so recently may have taken a lot out of us. In centre midfield they concede it will be very close (they are concerned about Madders) but see there strengths as being in wider areas and that is the area they have taken other teams apart. They presume the same again, so our secret weapon may be Jamal Lewis whom they have not ever heard of. On Saturday they play Fulham away whom they generally rate as the best team in the league (after them). A couple have suggested they might only play at 90% tempo because of the Fulham game but others say they are way to professional to take it easy at all and I agree with that perspective. Generally they think they will win by 3-1 or 2-0 but to my mind the interesting point is that the biggest advantage they think they have in their favour is that our method of play will suit them.
