The chair of Norwich City supporters group is telling us he's feeling optimistic ahead of the new season

The Canaries face the Tigers from 3pm today- and both won and lost against the East Yorkshire side when they played them in the last campaign

"We all want entertaining football"

Robin Sainty is the chairman of the Canaries Trust- a supporters group who are the clubs sixth largest shareholder.

"We will build from the back, but I don't think you'll see 20 passes in midfield before the ball goes into a forward. It's going to take time for fans to adjust to how the team are going to play. But at the end of the day, we all want entertaining football.

"Clearly Ashely Barnes is an interesting signing. He's a guy who could start a fight in an empty room, he will certainly be the focal point in terms of us getting into other team's faces".

"2-0 to Norwich"

"I think we have a got a squad that's more adapted to what the championship is all about, compared to last season. Last season it was more of a squad that was based on attractive football. This season we've got one that can grind results out.

He thinks the score will be:

"2-0 to Norwich. I think Hull are going to competitive this year because Liam Rosenior has done a good job there. They will be a good test for us as they are a very physical side and it will put the new team to the test".
