Exeter Game

Why is everone moaning about yesterday's game?

Look at the team...

Norwich City:
Lewis (Gallacher, 45 mins);
Hughes,
Dublin (Safri, 45 mins),
Shackell (Halliday, 83 mins),
Eagle (Drury, 45 mins);
Croft (Smart, 79 mins),
Doherty,
Spillane (Rossi Jarvis, 45 mins),
Chadwick (Martin, 45 mins);
Strihavka (Ryan Jarvis, 61 mins),
Cureton (Brown, 45 mins).

How many of the starting eleven will be in the team come August?

Goal? ...Not Lewis
Defence? Shackell
Midfield? Chadwick
Attack? OK maybe both these guys but who was creating chances for them yesterday? These two need time to form a partnership too. You can't expect them to gel straight off...

Second half team...

Gallacher
Hughes,
Doherty
Shackell/Halliday
Drury
Croft/Smart
Safri
Rossi Jarvis
Martin
Strihavka /Ryan Jarvis
Brown

Again ONLY 2 or 3 players will be in the team come August...how can you read ANYTHING into yesterday's game?

It was purely a fitness exercise, a marketing stunt for Flybe, a chance for PG to see some youngsters, a chance for Cureton and Dave to forge an understanding. IT MEANT NOTHING.

I am optimistic about the forthcoming season. Our team will be...

Marshall
Otsemabor
Shackell
New CB
Drury
Chadwick
Brellier
Etuhu/Safri
Huckerby
Cureton
Dave Striker

Now if that team failed to beat Exter come August them I would be concerned but I am not worried at all after only one friendly.
