Friendly v Norwich

No. Certainly not. But we do lack the necessary quality in certain areas to survive in the Premier League....at the moment. No doubt the club will be addressing this in the next 2-3 weeks.

Interesting to see that Bong has replaced Murphy and not Suttner so playing with 2 left backs presumably 1 is left midfield but I can understand CH logic for the trial.

you are right of course, but I mistakenly thought they might have a break today!

No, the new meta in football is to have two left backs on the pitch at the same time, in the exact same position. New technology means each player's atoms fuse together to form a new player.

That's funny, the Sky report I heard said it took a wicked deflection giving Stockdale no chance. Still keep blaiming him !
Pathetic Naismith, if Dunk had hit him he wouldn't have got up.

Suttner is a very attacking left back, I can see plenty of opportunities this season for Suttner left midfield and Rosenior right midfield. Defensive cover but also capable going forward. It might come across as defensive but in reality they're both such good players they can play either position comfortably.
The difference between Championship standard and Premier League is significant in my opinion, anyone who hasn't regularly watched Premier League football will be in for a surprise at the difference this season. I think we have a core of players good enough for the league. Dunk, Stephens, Kayal, Knockaert, Gross and Murray are the spine of the team and they're all unquestionably Premier League class. If any of them are out injured for a long period of time then we might have problems.
Ryan, Bruno, Rosenior, Duffy, Hünemeier, Goldson, Suttner and Skalak I'm not so sure about but I think will be competitive, the others I'm fairly sure are not good enough for the Premier League. Just not up to the level, but won't fail through any lack of effort (now that Elvis has gone!).

We played this before though on the right away from home in tougher games, Rosenior and Bruno.

Yep, that should have been comfortable for Ryan
If only he were a couple inches taller...
Club's Twitter feed said their goal hit the crossbar and deflected in.
So the last 3 goals Norwich have scored against us have all been off target.

Norwich bossed the 2nd half, we were a lot better with Gross on the pitch from what I could see off the poor quality live feed

Then tell the Sky reporter I was quoting. And wipe the bile off of your keyboard.
