The 26-year-old was once again an[unused substitute in the Tractor Boys’ 0-0 draw at home to Doncaster](https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1381966/Live/England-League-One-2019-2020-Ipswich-Doncaster) on Saturday, the [seventh successive League One game in which he has sat on the bench throughout](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/will-norris/leistungsdaten/spieler/285033). His only two appearances to date were in the 3-1 defeat to Luton in the Carabao Cup last month and the 2-1 win over Tottenham’s under-23 side in the EFL Trophy a couple of weeks ago. \[[via TransferMarkt.co.uk](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/will-norris/leistungsdaten/spieler/285033)\] Tomas Holy has been Paul Lambert’s [first choice between the sticks in Ipswich’s league games](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tomas-holy/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/123672/wettbewerb/GB3/saison/2019), which has left Norris largely redundant so far during his loan spell in East Anglia. **Ivan Cavaleiro** Ivan Cavaleiro [joined Fulham on loan for the season in July, with an option for the move to become permanent](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48964155), and he can be pleased with his displays so far at Craven Cottage. The 25-year-old winger had [three goals and two assists from six games](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ivan-cavaleiro/leistungsdaten/spieler/149716) prior to Saturday’s match against West Brom and he added another assist to his tally by [setting up Anthony Knockaert for the opening goal against the Baggies in a 1-1 draw](https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1381452/Live/England-Championship-2019-2020-Fulham-West-Bromwich-Albion). Cavaleiro has now set up goals in his last two matches, having also [registered an assist in the 1-1 draw at Cardiff](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ivan-cavaleiro/leistungsdaten/spieler/149716) prior to the international break, and on Saturday he recorded two shots, 68 touches, three key passes and an 80% passing success rate, as per [WhoScored.com](https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1381452/Live/England-Championship-2019-2020-Fulham-West-Bromwich-Albion). He has started all seven of Fulham’s Championship matches this season and got the full 90 minutes on Saturday, just the second time he’s played from first to final whistle. \[[via TransferMarkt.co.uk](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ivan-cavaleiro/leistungsdaten/spieler/149716)\] **Rafa Mir** Rafa Mir [signed for Nottingham Forest on loan from Wolves](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rafa_Mir#cite_note-Forest_loan-14) in July but, after [seven goals in 30 games on loan at Las Palmas last year](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/rafa-mir/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/361254), the striker has had a frustrating start to life at the City Ground. After beginning the Championship season with [four substitute appearances totalling 71 minutes](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/rafa-mir/leistungsdaten/spieler/361254), he [failed to make it off the bench in the following two games](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/rafa-mir/leistungsdaten/spieler/361254) and was [not even in the matchday squad for Saturday’s 1-0 win at Swansea](https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1381423/Live/England-Championship-2019-2020-Swansea-Nottingham-Forest). His only starts this season have [both come in the Carabao Cup](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/rafa-mir/leistungsdaten/spieler/361254), [assisting one of the goals in the 3-0 win over Derby](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/rafa-mir/leistungsdaten/spieler/361254), but with Nottingham Forest still involved in the competition, he may get a chance to feature again. Their [third-round clash is away to Arsenal](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/efl-cup/startseite/pokalwettbewerb/CGB), which would give Mir an opportunity to prove himself against Premier League opposition if he is selected on the night.
