Couple of quotes from last nights reserve game and a couple of questions/thoughts.. .

"The key to Norwich?s success was the fact that they got 9 or 10 men behind the ball as soon as Spurs broke into their half. The Spurs man on the ball would soon have three or four opponents buzzing around him, and creative life was very difficult at times"

The above is what I was asking yesterday, why can't the first team manage it?..

"Norwich nearly had a sensational winner when Robbie Savage look-alike Robert Eagle surprised and beat Burch with a fantastic 35 yard shot that hit the top of the bar and rebounded into play"

Not sure I like the thought of having a Savage look alike at Norwich, I may have to post a message to Munby asking him to sort it out...and once he's sorted, let's stick in on the bench too - a perfect 80min sub material...

Question 1: why not bring Caveman and Spillane thru to the 1st team bench? What have we got to lose exactly? Oh sorry, forgot, Fleming might not like it...

Question 2: also, does anyone know if Simon Davis is recovering from injury or he simply can't get in to the Spurs 1st team at the mo? If it is the latter, I'd like him to come to us on a season long loan...

Norwich (4-4-2):- Lewis; Cave-Brown, Spillane, Quaye, Drury (Capt.); McVeigh, Jarrett, Howlett (sub Fisk, 80), Eagle; El Ouargi (sub Martin, 33), Henderson

Subs not used: - Herbert; Muddel
