Match Day Thread Barnet v Norwich U23 cup thing that we are probably going to win

Kick off 8pm
Great chance for our yoot and fringe players to show what they are capable of again.
I'm going for an 8-1 City win.

 

I might go for a slightly more ngative prediction of 4-2 to our yoof

Bah!

 

Our side from the last game: Norwich City: Ben Killip, Louis Ramsay, Ben Godfrey, Michee Efete, Harry Toffolo, Tony Andreu, Louis Thompson, Ray Grant (sub Todd Cantwell, 77 mins), Josh Murphy, James Maddison, Carlton Morris.
Unused substitutes: Aston Oxborough, Benny Ashley-Seal, Joe Crowe, Glenn Middleton, Dialling Jaiyesimi, Ebou Adams.

Andreu, Toffolo and Maddison no longer available, so room for some other senior players. I think we're allowed 5 over 21's in the starting eleven? I wouldn't be surprised to see Whittaker at LB and Naismith in the side. Lafferty, Turner, Canos (who I'd forgotten even existed) and possibly others could be in line to be involved too, depending on how much of a chance we want to give the youngsters.

 

Is Pritchard fit ?

 

I watch a lot of the youth games, we have some really good youngsters. Ben Killip is a fantastic prospect.

 

I went to the under 23 V Wet Sham and he kept the score reasonable, including a saved penalty, but couldn't do much about the rebound.

 

Seen him twice, most recently at the Posh game - I really rate him and consider him a real prospect - moreso, sadly, than either Matthews or Dekkers....

Our man @davefreezer will have live coverage from 7pm atpinkun.com/live

 

I was at that game B/H. It was ruined for me by the behaviour of a group of young girls sitting a few seats away, they were completely out of control and were only there because it was free and to let off steam, they weren't even watching the game most of the time, just shouting and screaming. Put me off going to the free ticket games I'm afraid!

 

I was fairly lucky where I was sitting and will certainly try to get to some of the other fixtures next month especially.

Under 23 fixtures at Carrow Road –
EFL TROPHY
MK Dons - Tuesday, November 8 (7pm)
Premier League International Cup
Celtic - Wednesday, November 16 (7pm)
Aston Villa on Monday, December 5 (7pm

 

Good question Duncan.
I hope our marquee signing starts getting some games.

Dunc's all over it!

 

Have to say, it's good to see some first team fringe players in the starting line up. May have to give it a look (so to speak).

 

As well as Pink'un text updates, there's live coverage on BBC radio Norfolk.
[Sorry all you ex-pats who can't get access to that! ]

 

Hey it's a norwich match in the international break. I'm ok with that.

 

Barnet just had a guy (harshly) sent off.
Still goalless.

 

Odd - and by their normal standards, excellent choice of music on radio Norfolk tonight.
Echo & the Bunnymen and Small Faces before kick off, Blur just now at half time?!
Makes a change from Cliff Richard and Celine Dion
