A midfield three of Mclean, Schwartau, and Marcondes with Hernandez and Dobbin on either side of striker Sargent.<\/p>\n The big scoreline last time out for Norwich against Swansea was mainly due to the implosion of Swansea’s defence. However, the return of striker Sargent and the performances of other attacking players like Lewis Dobbin and Oscar Schwartau will be key for their game against Watford and the rest of the season.
