Joanna Grey 0 Posted July 15, 2011 Can''t remember from previous pre-seasons but will we get a list of players who go to Germany? Pilkington tweeted that he is going so that''s one definite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted July 15, 2011 If the club don''t give an official list, the players who get an appreance at the friendly over there will be the best clue. Also I think a Norwich City XI are playing a game locally while the first team are in Germany. Surprised Pilkington is going considering his previous injury, must be closer to full fitness than some people suspected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

More than likely that he could be going over there but will only partake in light training and work with the physio team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ABC (A Basingstoke Canary) 26 Posted July 18, 2011 According to Sky Sports today "The Canaries have headed out to Germany for a training camp". If that be the case, does anyone have any ideas as to who went out there and who''s stayed behind? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aurelius 0 Posted July 18, 2011 Is it me or we don''t have any info about the training camp agenda? Where the team is, where the training sessions are held,etc.We only know the dates of two friendly games, whose two will be played between close doors. How could we program a trip to Germany if we don''t have any info? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruce Eats Walkers! 0 Posted July 18, 2011 I''m sure I read that Adam Drury missed the Gorleston game through A slight knee injury and that Simon Lappin had just become a father, that would suggest to me that they have a place for the season. I wouldn''t be so optimistic for Steven Smith, Steven Hughes, Oli Johnson, Anthony MacNamee, Owain Tudur Jones and, dare i suggest it, Cody Macdonald who''s absence remained unexplained. I didn''t see any of them at Gorleston. Adam Drury was there sitting with Elliot Ward first half and Simon Lappin has a pretty good reason for his absence. Not looking good for the rest though!

Bill 1,788 Posted July 18, 2011 "Is it me or we don''t have any info about the training camp agenda? Where the team is, where the training sessions are held,etc."I thought it had been made plain to everyone that the training is to be carried out in private, not sure how you missed that. As to where the games are -''The first game on Wednesday, July 20 will see the Canaries take on two teams in one match - Sparta Göttingen for the first 45 minutes, RSV Göttingen for the second 45 (kick-off at 6.30pm, local German time) at the Göttingen Stadium. This fixture will be open to the public.Two further days of training will follow before City face FSV Wacker 90 Nordhausen. This game will be played behind closed doors and will not be open to the public.''pics from last season training camp can be seen here -http://www.canaries.co.uk/page/Gallery/0,,10355~2090313,00.htmlps it was to be a get together where the players could concentrate on the forthcoming season - but the club thought that it would be better to refer to it as a training camp, rather than a ........

ABC (A Basingstoke Canary) 26 Posted July 19, 2011 Whilst thanking City 1st for reiterating that this is a team bonding and private training exercise, (for those that, for some inexplicable reason, might have forgotten) it is only the training and 2 "matches" that are private - not the names of the team members that are going to the event. SOOooooooo, based on the answers given so far, I guess nobody knows then........ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlyBlyBabes 0 Posted July 19, 2011 I reckon the main aim is to quietly inject a little German football philosophy and knowhow into the squad. Hence the low key PR. Better than having to sweat and show off for sponsors in Thailand or Dubai or somewhere similar! When we become a successful prem club with eastern sponsors within the next few years it will be interesting to see the approach that Lambert takes to pre-season.....................................
