Match Thread Norwich City v Leicester - FA Cup 5th round

[Jeff]

Schmeichel, Peltier, St. Ledger, Morgan, Kennedy, Marshall, Danns, Wellens, Dyer, Nugent, Beckford

I like the look of that. Glad to see Marshall getting a start. Hope he lives up to your hype, Jeff

Mills, Konchesky and Gally injured, suspended or just left out?
I'm assuming Gally is injured and the other two just dropped.

 

[Jeff]

Subs: Konchesky, Mills, Howard, Moussa, Delfouneso, Hopper, Smith.

That answers my question then

Moussa could get a chance today then.

 

[Profondo Rosso]

Pleasantly surprised to see Konchesky and Mills dropped. Hope it pays off.

 

[Miles Away]

Dyer still playing? Oh dear.

 

[atlantafox]

Brave move by NP to drop Mills and Konchesky - based on last few games we are stronger in defence.

 

[The Old Fox]

This should be good news, because whenever I feel negative, the team usually pull something out of the hat BUT, I can see that side getting a real hiding from Norwich! (Hope my inability to spot a winning team continues!) :icon_lol:

 

[MerseyFox]

Comfortable victory for Leicester today! Feeling very lucky.

I'm surprised Peltier starts to be honest.

Good work dpj, we were waiting for that.

Bamba is not included for obvious reasons but it does put pressure on Morgan and St Ledger to prove they are worth their place. The yellow card for dissent may have played a part in Nigel dropping him; if so it might help him mature.

Remembering the situation with St Ledger in early January most people would not have expected him to be in the team and Mills out. From what I have seen recently - home games only - it is the right decision.

Assuming the idiots at the BBC remember it's an FA cup match and leave the stream on.

The Norwich team:

Jed Steer
Russell Martin
Leon Barnett
Elliott Ward
Adam Drury
David Fox
Elliott Bennett
Anthony Pilkington
Wesley Hoolahan

We can beat them.

I don't want to see any questions about streams today. OK?

Don't read the pre-match thread then.

Don't think they have for any of the games so far

5 - The last time Norwich progressed beyond the FA Cup fifth round was in 1992, when they reached the semi-final. Vicennial?
