Quite incredibly, Watford are in a worse position than we are, lets hope this isn't an "along come Norwich" moment! Watford are truly dreadful away from home, so what could possibly go wrong?

Haven't seen the presser yet, so no idea who is fit, hopefully Kenny fully recovered, seeing as we can't win without him.

An important game this one I feel. A win will go some way towards lifting some of the (deserved) gloom around the place. Anything less will see the pressure rightly build again

I'm not sure if I feel gloomy or not, to be fair, working away a lot with limited time for social media means I maybe feel a bit distanced. I guess I feel like we have been here before, but I'm not despondent, as I know there is quality there, and I feel things will be okay in the end.

The pinkun tweeted an hour ago that they were going into the presser, and since then, nothing!

Nothing from Paddy either! Are they pushing to get people to subscribe?

Big Phil not giving much away! Mo is back in Oz, which I find a wee bit odd.

Philippe Clement shared updates on the squad's availability ahead of this weekend's Sky Bet Championship clash at home against Watford.

"There are still a few players with some smaller things that we need to judge for tomorrow if we can put them in a game or not.

"I will not say too much about names because I don't want to make the job of Watford easier.

"So we need to take a look at that this afternoon and tomorrow because it's not only Saturday game, we have Tuesday again and then Saturday again. So it's about making smart choices with the squad."

Philippe shared an update on Mo Touré's injury. Mo is currently recovering back home in Australia.

"We've been talking a lot. We have weekly contact with him, with the medical staff, myself also.

"There were also a few things that we demanded of him. when he stayed there, for example, about his weight and the exercises that he's doing, it's all coordinated by the medical staff from here.

"So there's daily contact around that and also about his wellness, you need to fill in the wellness questionnaire like everybody's doing every day. If he's not doing that, then he will take the first flight back to here.

"So it's a good moment in this first phase of his rehab. To have him there with his family, with everybody around him, because with the shoulder it's for him also difficult to do things outside of the rehab here.

"He needs help and his family is around him, so that helps and there are good people there that our medical staff know to help with the rehab in the first phase and later on he will come back to Norwich to do the next part of his rehab.

"It's working really well and he looks really fit. He showed off a few times, showing his body on video towards me how fit he is and how he is working, so it looks really good."

The head coach was asked if Elliot Myles would be in contention for the squad this week after his impressive performances for the under-21s.

"Yeah, Elliot is making really good progress and there were a few things there last season he had also a lot of injuries.

"His body is still coping with load and with intensive loads, so that's why one moment all of us together, so that's Ryan Gary who's the bridge with the Academy, myself, Ben and Elliot, we spoke about it, that it was best to get more consistency by being a longer time with the second team and training there all the time, playing more game minutes.

"He's shown good things in several under-21 games that I've watched, you still see that it's not consistently yet, but that's normal.

"He showed really good spells and he's much fitter than he was last season, so he's making really good steps and we're really happy with his progress."

I think they asked about Miles as there are dodgy rumours that he isn't too chuffed being in the U21's
