A few days rest and we go again.
top 10 and a bit of a cup run, building for next season would be a good year imho. Getting some money in from a cup run will certainly help.
Not a glam tie and Norwich big favourites, but if we give it a go - no reason we cant get through. Wont be a Wycombe style test for sure!
With that in mind, and the injuries we have. I'd go for a 4-2-3-1
Ward (we brought him back, he needs a game or two, why not in the cup?)
Hoole Taylor Crama Vale
Ward Finley
Thomas McCormick Brown
Marquis
(little rest for Azza and Evans and give Brown another chance he needs to grab hold of. McCormick could fit very well into the MT team ethos)

Agreed! you never know , Canaries will be thinking they will make playoffs at least and the side they put out may reflect there real priority and will give us a chance, i sense a cup upset , about time to!

Looking forward to this one, new ground, and who knows? We tend to play better against the teams that try and play football!
Oh for a solid left back!
Vale for me would be best further up the pitch, his crosses are superb
Is hunt definitely out?
Is flash ever going to return?
I’m happy with Percy line up, although Hunt at RB if fit
If MT decides to stick with 5-3-2, I’d go
COX/WARD
HOOLE/HUNT
TAYLOR
CRAMA
THOMAS
WARD
FINLEY
VALE
MCCORMICK
COLLINS
MARQUIS
Azza still holds that ability to run at players, and we can bring on Evo and Martin and Brown after 60 to liven it up
Hope the rocket they got after Wycscum gets them up for this one
Long drive and we deserve a performance!!

Expecting lots of changes from both sides with fringe players battling it out . Theirs will be a lot better than ours and a 3-0 defeat.

Rovers have a chance because all the Norwich left-backs and central midfielders struggle to defend... like Rovers.

Would expect Norwich to make a lot of changes but would expect Rovers to field what MT believes to be strongest side, why wouldn't we?

It’s as I tell others, I’ve done 20+ seasons and a lot of away, I have tenure. |

Off topic but has Jamie McAllister been confirmed yet? Assume he was in the dugout at Wycombe?
We are very odd with our comms at times!
