Last updated 24th Aug 2024
Two Norwich fans are telling us they've been impressed with their clubs recruitment this summer- but admit that there's still some defensive frailties for the new boss to overcome
The Canaries face recently relegated Sheffield United away from home today. With Johannes Hoff Thorrup's still looking for a win in the Championship, after two games.
"We have brought in some really exciting prospects, this season"
Rob Sainty is chair of the club's official supporters group:
"We're clearly playing a lot more progressively now. We no longer have to play twenty passes across the back-four to get the ball further forward. We are getting balls into the box earlier and we look a lot sharper and dangerous going forwards.
"Players that are coming in are all following a clear pattern. They're all very early twenties and already rated highly, but with plenty more development potential. They're all also very comfortable on the ball".
Lorraine Taylor has been a fan of the club for nearly half a century
"We're still very frail at the back, but we looked better with José Córdoba coming on in the second-half against Blackburn and Callum Doyle going to full-back. That being said- I would like to see a pairing of Córdoba and Brad Hills at the back.
"We have brought in some really exciting prospects, this season. Amankwah Forson has looked good and young Gabriel Forsyth has come from the academy and had a very good game vs Blackburn".
Kick-off is at 3pm. Norwich sit 19th in the Championship going into their third game of the season.
