Canary Wundaboy 1,349 Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) I’m sure a few of the senior players (Klose, Tettey etc) have made it clear to the youngsters that friendly or not, it’s Ipswich. Nothing less than a win will do. Edited August 27, 2020 by Canary Wundaboy Autocorrect 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,598 Posted August 27, 2020 I saw some binner bring a **** the other day as they ‘only’ lost 4-1 to a West Ham side on Tuesday - rather than 4-0 - so while an u23 friendly really doesn’t matter, It does to some! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No doubt, should they win, they'll claim the ten (eleven?) year run is over and someone will manage to put a clip up on You Tube. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christoph Stiepermann 1,120 Posted August 28, 2020 (edited) I think they beat us last time right? It goes without saying of course but incase anyone from TWTD is browsing this thread, all of our best young players are either on loan, or in the senior squad, you are playing our under 18's mixed in with a few lads who will never make it at any level there to make up the numbers. I can see two, maybe 3 players in our team who I recognise, most players in both teams wouldn't even get a game from Conference North/South sides.

Bit harsh on the Norwich team - there are 7 youth internationals in the starting XI - this is the strongest team for the U23s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe, but it's youth football and in all fairness we do have a very young team out, it could easily qualify as an U18's team. You just know if Ipswich beat us they would want to hold an open top bus parade and declare their youth team to be the best in the country and good enough to replace their first team. From our youth cup winning team about 5 players are playing league football, Morris in L1, the other 4, Murphy x2, Toffolo and McGeehan are unremarkable players at Championship level. Their u23's are much older than ours, they play at a very low level being below Category 1 status and don't have clubs around Europe queuing up around the block to take their young lads on loan like we do. I was just providing some context in case they get lucky today. Edited August 28, 2020 by Christoph Stiepermann Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd take pretty much all of the Norwich U23's at town and thats league 2 level now. The likes of Nizet and Hondermark are really promising players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really? By my reckoning our strongest U23s team would contain Aarons, Lewis, Cantwell, Godfrey, Buendia and Idah to name just a few. 😉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill 1,788 Posted August 28, 2020 And another binner team hauls its sorry Suffolk **** back over the boarder (pitchforks and all) And yet they were talked of in absolute awe by the farm hands...... the glorious youth, this sceptred youth who were to usher in a new era of European domination at poorman road whereas in reality they are no more than what Cat 1 clubs have not deemed up to it another season of impoverished failure beckons at poorman road 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
