Norwich City vs Birmingham City (Home) Wednesday 9th September.

Not actually much between the two teams in the form table, but I think I would be expecting a win here. We have shown that we have it takes to win games, but we need to settle down to a bit of consistency now, as that is what brings you success in this league, stringing results together.

Hard to see what big Phil would change from the last game, but with 3 games a week he is likley to shuffle the pack a bit, I wonder if it is time for a Maghoma return? That said, Slimane was decent at number 10 last time out, so who knows? I'm going to assume that Brum will come here with a low block, so will be interesting how we break that down.

2-0 to the City.

Good that you've some confidence. I've no idea what might happen.
You could be right in that we will see Maghoma at some point. Slimane just appears to have something unpredictable about him and how many times have we seen one of his touches set up an assist? A few. Won't be an easy game you'd imagine. We haven't drawn a game yet so that's my take.

You can't take out Toure but I still want to see Kvist start (and in my ideal a 442 with both he and Mo up top) ...or even a 433. Yet PC doesn't seem to do that (certainly from the off). You tend to get the latter formation when you know you're really good and solid in the middle. And I'm unconvinced still that we are.

Interesting game though. A win at home will be welcome and possibly start something of a run perhaps.
