The mighty Lions V The Canaries- Match thread- Friday- 7.45pm KO.

[Peckham Lion]

Twentieth place plays twelfth. Both of us on ten defeats. Their away form isn't great but they score goals, two per away game on average. Only three away wins from twelve played, one clean sheet and scored in all but one of those games which was last time out at West Brom. Their top scorer on ten goals is centre forward Rowe who opened the scoring for them when we met at Carrow road back in August. Not a great record against this lot either home or away. Last victory over them at the Den came back in August 2017 when Gregory, Saville, Twinklebollox and Hutchinson were on target in a 4-0 win.

Home form has picked up a bit for us and now unbeaten in the last three. No new injuries picked up. De Norre is a certain non starter but have no other team news as i write this. Edwards may choose to shuffle the pack and freshen things up with this being our third game in six days.

Weather- dry but blowy. Not aware of any closure or engineering works that'll effect South Bermondsey. Ticket sales are good with limited seats remaining.

They'll bring down a good few which always helps the atmosphere. Lets hope we can end the year on the same note that we started which was a 3-0 home win against Rotherham on new years day.

All the very best to each and everyone of you on here regardless of our disagreements and a happy, healthy, peaceful and prosperous new year to you and your nearest and dearest

Darren Huckerby isn't starting. I would've had a nailed on red card bet for Muscat otherwise.

Sorry mate posted without seeing this.

Crazy how many games we sell out this season and last

 

[Wippa]

And Norwich will probably bring more than QPR so should be over 18k crowd

 

[Brickwall]

Can’t make it today because iam in Jamaica don’t get jealous because I’ve got COVID and have been layed up for five days feeling like shit so that’s hope we can finish the year with a win

And to think what it would be like if we had/we’re been playing entertaining football

Didn’t we try to buy Huckerby when he was on loan for us? We couldn’t afford the million pound fee if I remember correctly

 

[Budgies' Boy]

He Who Dares, Wins!

He came on loan to us, I think from Newcastle ?
Norwich bought him after that when we could not afford the fee.
I stand to be corrected on that.

Cheers mate. I have great memories of those days, being in my early 20’s. What a team that was.

What this actually means is:

There will be plenty of spaces free in the CBL and West upper, but the CBL lower will be rammed full of tourists that can't stay put for an entire half without several trips to the concourse.

That's the spirit, Arthur.
I see you have plenty of confidence in our defending capabilities...

I'm going for plenty of festive cock ups, fuck ups and defensive mistakes leading to embarrassing goals (from both teams) and an enjoyable 8-8 draw.

QPR was supposedly a sell out but there were free seats all over the shop.

I think he went to to the might of Coventry City for mill after his loan stint with us.

That’s because it was Boxing Day and a lot of ST holders didn’t bother.
