They are on a very good run albeit not faced anyone in the top 6. Coming to the Turf on a Friday night when we’ve won 8 on the spin here is a completely different proposition for them.
However, like VK said, we’ll have to be at our best to get a win tonight, they have some genuine quality for this level. Looking forward to a good game.

It’s feels like this could be a game too far tonight, with Cork and THB missing. Still probably the best team we’ve faced this season. Hope I’m wrong.
A win tonight would be very impressive.

Also very much looking forward to this one, will allow for further measuring of progress against good opposition, followed by the two EPL club games.
Will finish early today for this one, and have a late lunch watching this

The enthusiasm shines through - something which dramatically enhances any article.

Tonight will be a big test and I'm not going to lie, I'm slightly worried but only because of their form. Looking at their squad and who is out (thanks to the great preview), I'm a bit more confident. I think we know Taylor is going to start but would it be worth starting Egan-Riley at CB? Gudmundsson in that 10 role was brilliant last week so he needs to start with Brownhill dropping back a bit. I think I'd start Barnes as well over Jay Rod. He'll rough their defenders up but his style of play has changed under VK (he's started playing the ball instead of the man). Jay Rod can be an impact sub with a bit more pace later on when they tire a bit.
Tonight should be a quality game but hopefully they don't score with the last touch of the ball again :/

Sad to read that Cork misses the Norwich game and not the Ipswich cup tie.
