Norwich have taken off 4 of their best players, and we seem to be on top now.

by my count there's 9 out injured/with covid/otherwise missing, 8 of which are first teamers. Hopefully just short term or precautionary stuff. Campbell Pipa Bacuna Mbenza Aarons Grant Sarr Vallejo Rowe Edmonds-Green & Reece Brown are out aswell. Brown doesn't even register as a Town player in my head still! While the 11 we're playing isn't that strong on paper, considering that's 11 players unavailable it isn't so bad. The same players out last season would've probably seen a back 4 of Duhaney, Keogh, Stearman, and O'Brien! So definitely an improvement of sorts.

Decent watch is this, don't know how many youth players are in the Norwich 11 - but Town are ruling supremely. Colwill looks like he could be a great addition. Encouraging stuff from the boys in blue. Jordan Rhodes coming on for Danny Ward.

Norwich have taken off 4 of their best players, and we seem to be on top now. They’ve brought on a RB that’s been linked to Bayern, Barca, United etc.

Encouraging stuff from the boys in blue. Jordan Rhodes coming on for Danny Ward. Agreed, not been a bad watch at all and lets hope he has the same effect as Guehi did at Swansea. His positioning looks decent and seems to win a lot in the air from corners and set pieces as well

Norwich you tube far better to watch the game on. So it is, and could hear that convo between the ref and O’Brien then which was interesting.

Sorba Thomas has done well in the bits I've seen of him in pre season

Wouldn’t of thought Sorba would be in the first team this season from what we saw last season and felt a loan would benefit him but he’s clearly been putting the work in and has looked a real threat on the right hand side this pre season.

Nicholls has done enough for the no 1 shirt for me.
Sorba and JK should be on the wings 100%

Not deserved really that from the 2nd half, we’ve had chances but will need to put those away in the league or we’ll be punished, not a bad showing from the boys this though

2-0. Against run of play but they are much better where it counts.

For all the positives, we are still our own worst enemy; the first and second goals were so very sloppy and could have been easily avoided. We make it so easy.

Can not seriously go into the season with Campbell, Ward and Rhodes as our only strikers. Yes, yes, Koroma, but he's out wide.

Still, be nice to see us get a goal. Plenty of time yet, though
Edit: thought we were getting another 45 minutes!

In essence no different from a lot of last season. Decent approach play but no quality where it counts. How can such a clear deficiency be left unaddressed year after year?

On his performances In preseason there should be no possibility of Holmes starting on the right side. Holmes simply cannot play there.

Think this could be a big season for Sorba Thomas.
Colwill is a class act. If Chelsea have put a minimum percentage of games clause in the deal I'll be delighted.
