Wish I had bought a ticket for this now, but am back to work maybe the day after, so didn't dare risk it.

On paper, I think we should expect a win, but football isn't played on paper...

Presser in a few hours, be interesting to see if Rowe is available.

Norwich City head coach David Wagner confirmed that Shane Duffy will miss Saturday's trip to face Queens Park Rangers.

The head coach also confirmed that Jonny Rowe is back in contention for the game at Loftus Road, before talking about new signing Sydney van Hooijdonk and the strikers at the club.
"Jonny Rowe trained today, without any issues." Wagner said.
"He looks like he's back in contention, same with Danny Batth. Shane Duffy will miss the game.
"He's had a first scan, and will have one in 10 days' time. We will know more after that.
"(Grant) Hanley is ready to go, and Danny is back in training too. You never like to have injured players. It's up to the other guys now to show they're capable of stepping up. He's desperate to play.
"Sydney was involved in all the sessions. He's a good guy, an open guy and has settled in as good as he can after a week. We'll continue to work with him, and he'll definitely be involved.
"The strikers all have different skills. All of them have good football understanding. They all work hard. We're trying not to put too much pressure on Sydney too early."
Wagner also highlighted QPR, and the dangers they'll pose in the Sky Bet Championship fixture.
"A tight pitch, a tight stadium. It's a difficult task, and we have to be on it. Have to be sharp, aggressive and hungry, like we have been in previous games.
"It's a team where I'm sure they'll survive. They have a good style, and have good individual players. We'll have to be at our very best. Challenges are part of this life."

Hmmmm, could have been better. QPR been in better form the last few games, but we surely had enough to beat them.

Looked poor in the first half without Nunez, they would have been better starting with him, and bringing Sargent on later, if they wanted to limit his gametime (He hadn't trained most of the week, which explains why he was taken off. Apparently Stacey was throwing up yesterday, which he was withdrawn early, but replacing him with Sorenson was definitely a strange one. As much as I praised Wagner for his game management in the last few games, and although I understand the reasoning behind the subs (mostly) I don't think he did very well today.

And Rowe pulling his hammy just about topped things off!

Well from my Romanian tv viewing point, that was not very good. Sure we got a point away from home, but I think we also threw two others away, that we could/ should have gained. Poor referee, poor peerformances from Fassnacht, Sara and Hanley. Two good goals from Kenny and the Sarge. Very weak defending from our last line.
