The Fan Zone

Graham Falk (What The Falk Podcast - Sunlun AFC): Saturday's gritty 1-0 win at West Brom was our fourth win in the last six - are we hitting form at the right time? There's been a lot of talk about momentum and how to build it up ahead of an almost certain playoff battle for Sunderland in these last few weeks, and while the performances haven't been brilliant, we've not conceded and beaten two pretty well drilled teams without a great deal of fuss.

Norwich are a different kettle of fish yet again. Embroiled in a halfway house sort of season, where they are trying to build something fresh with a new head coach and invest more so in the youth - they don't look like they'll trouble the playoffs this year. It's a tricky game for us, but once we maybe should consider placing less pressure on.

We've already lost another player until the end of the season in the shape of Romaine Mundle, and we really can't afford too many more injuries. We've already done without Dan Ballard, Dennis Cirkin and Enzo Le Fee in recent weeks, so we don't need any more. Perhaps it is time to freshen it up a little, worry less about momentum and worry more about ensure our players are all as fit as possible heading into those crucial playoff games.

Prediction: 1-1
