Saints have already won comprehensively at Carrow Road this season in the Carabao Cup and now they need to go and repeat that performance in the Championship to keep up the promotion push, don't forget it's a 12.30 kick off.

Tonda Eckert made it 6 wins out of 7 on Tuesday night against West Brom, but there were concerns about the manner in which it was achieved as Saints endured a second half battering where they were very much on the back foot and disarray and nearly threw away a 3-0 half time lead.

Now we will find out how the German manager will react and if he has learned any lessons and adapted to ensure that it doesn't happen again.

In the last 3 games Saints have scored 8 goals, to make themselves the top scorers in the league, but in this period they have also let in 5 goals and that is not a good goals conceded to games ratio.

Again I would not expect many changes to the starting line up from the win over the Baggies, perhaps the only one will be the restoration of Jack Stephens to the back line.

Our starting line up has not been a problem, what has been the issue is the substitutions, however I would also point out that this is perhaps only been in the last game and perhaps at Millwall.

One good feature of Tonda Eckert's managerial reign has been game management, I have often said that once he gets a game won, he prefers to make sure it stays won, rather than keep the free flowing game going and seeking to score more goals.

At Millwall we threw away a one goal lead and then having pulled back to 2-2, conceded a soft goal at the end, so tight is it at the top, if we had hung on for the draw in that game we would now be in the play off positions and just 3 points off second.

Against Birmingham we did the same,, but kept it tight and saw out the game, but against West Brom 3-0 up with 62 minutes gone and in control, we had two subs ready to come on and then bang the Baggies scored, if Tonda Eckert has made an error in this 7 game run and lets be fair he hasn't made many, then this was one of them.

At this point he should have held fire with the changes for 5 minutes and just kept our composure, but he took off both Tom Fellows & Leo Scienza and our balance was interrupted and West Brom took full advantage and took advantage of the situation and changed the flow of the game.

It worsened when under the cosh and under fire we took off the only attacking player who could hold the ball up and relieve the pressure, Jay Robinson is a promising talent, but this was not the moment to bring him on.

So hopefully Tonda will have learnt a lesson and learnt it well going forward.

But apart from this, identifying what did go wrong on Tuesday and it should be remembered that we did win the game, it is hard to pick fault with our manager's handling of the team since taking charge.

But we still go to Carrow Road with confidence, the Canaries are not singing at the moment, they sit second from bottom with just 3 wins and 5 draws to their name and 12 defeats which has seen them score 22 goals, but concede 33, only Hull & bottom club Sheffield Wednesday have let in more.

After a reasonable start to the season, 2 wins out of their first 4 games, albeit the two wins were against Pompey & Blackburn, they have collapsed spectacularly, since that win at the tail end of August, they have won just once in 16 games, with 5 draws and 10 defeats.

Of those draws, they have all been against sides around them at the bottom, Oxford United and both Sheffield clubs, most of their points have been against clubs in the bottom half of the division, however it should be noted that their solitary win in the last 3 1/2 months was against Queens Park Rangers who themselves like Saints have risen up the table in recent weeks.

So on paper there should be only one result for this game and we have to make sure that is the case when we stop playing the game on paper and start on grass, we have to blow them away in the first half and then make sure that we don't give them a sniff of the game at any time in the 90 minutes let alone around the middle of the second half when we have proved most vulnerable of late.

All the plaudits since Tonda Eckert took over have been about the attacking players, Scienza, Fellows, Armstrong & Azaz and how they have flourished under Eckert, but spare a thought for Gavin Bazunu.

The Irish International, is still only 23, a young age for a first team keeper, in the first part of the season he was not great but he was Ok, in truth he did not deserve to be dropped, his axing was due to behind the scenes issues on the training ground, not his performances.

Since his return he has been improving in every game, he has not been perfect, but he has not been responsible for as many goals as some would have you believe, in the last 3 games he made several vital saves that have made sure that we did win two of them and not lose all three.

He is benefitting from having a defence in front of him that is not changing drastically week in week out and itself is a work in progress, both the players in the defence and Bazunu are improving under Tonda Eckert and will continue to do so.

But at Norwich we need to avoid the complacency that set in against West Brom, we went from a team that was confident in it's own abilities to see out games, into one that thought it was their right to do so and we got caught out.

Norwich are not West Brom, Millwall or Birmingham, all promotion chasing sides, but they are fighting for their lives, a win would see them get back within sight of safety, defeat could leave them, if other results go against them, be 8 points off 4th from bottom.

This will not be an easy game, but it is one that we are well capable of winning and given our form should win well.

Can we make it 7 wind out of 8, if we do then we will find ourselves in the play off positions, whether we are still there after the rest of the division has played their fixtures is another matter, but we will have made a statement that we are now true contenders for promotion.
