Hope the mass change doesnt back fire.

Seems to be like we disregarding norwich (like a lower league cup game), unless we have lots of injuries or illness.

Half the teams ill.

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

8 changes but that's still a solid line up on paper, just hope it's not too early for Arblaster, don't want him picking up another injury

 

[Cappy]

 

[Thrice]

That's a lot of changes. I'm slightly worried to be honest. Team was on a roll and firing on all cylinders. Don't want to put a halt to that by making to many changes.

As stated, it's illness in the camp.

 

[Mad Mick]

Have faith, the bench is strong. Wilder is playing games.

 

[Belvedere Blade]

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

Gonna be a tough watch tonight, disjointed

 

[XADE]

Arblaster?! That seems insane given hes not even had minutes for us, and 4 days ago he was 'close'.

Edit: We've got the lurg

 

[Rufus Smalls]

That’s a bold move from Wilder.

Hope it doesn’t back fire.

 

[PaulPeschBlade]

To make 8 changes and put that side out shows how good a squad we have

 

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

Where have the reports of squad illness come from?

 

[radio]

Crikey that sounds a bad illness ,,, hope the players called in are well ,, suddenly a point might be a really good point ,COYRAWW

 

[Kenilworth]

Just for the record. It wasn’t me. I’ve missed the Stoke match and tonight through illness.
It all started after Leicester away

Where have the reports of squad illness come from?

Its on the social media post, assume other sources are available

 

[FTPE]

Where have the reports of squad illness come from?

Do you think Peck and co have just been stuck in traffic?

 

[MKY]

Ffs typical. Just when we were picking up steam as well.

Four missing from the match day squad would suggest illness and injury problems rather than taking Norwich lightly.

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

It says it above the team sheet post

 

[FriethBlade]

Peck and Jairo not even in the squad wh8ch means Matos is going to get minutes as there's no way Blaster and Soumsre will last 95 mins. Weakest front two we've put out for ages too so let's hope Norwich really are shite

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

That line up is asking for a big slap across the face.....with tears after.

 

[Snowflake]

8 changes but that's still a solid line up on paper, just hope it's not too early for Arblaster, don't want him picking up another injury

Who comes on when he and Chong get tired ? Brookes and Hamer ???

 

[VictoryBlade]

Not convinced there is any illness!

 

[Racing Blade]

Three games in six days, so little else that can be done to try and keep fresh legs. Quite a gamble with Norwich beginning to play a bit better than bare form suggests. That said, it will look like a masterstroke if we nick a win tonight then head to WBA at full strength.

 

[toledo]

This is where footballers earn their high salaries.

This is a game where you work 110% and leave everything on the field.

To some players, this is a glorious chance to get the shirt going forward.

And welcome back Blaster!!!

 

[Espania blade]

It just might be a long night hopefully players will step up and we will score another four

 

[Belvedere Blade]

 

[Pintor75]

Is this expecting the players who are out to have recovered in time for Friday

 

[RedandWhite]

We play Friday, so will definitely taking that into account today and resting some players, McGuiness got knocked last week on the ankle too.

 

[harrry1990s]

Some one needs to clarify when the Christmas Party was/is and get to the bottom of this illness
