Evesham Canary 0 Posted July 13, 2011 Also they have added some much needed pace to the squad which was something we were almost totally devoid of - Barnett the only defender with pace and Jackson was quickish up front. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RichT - The Biscuit 0 Posted July 13, 2011 Sorry, generalising but historically we''ve always felt a little bit lightweight!Doesn''t feel that way for next season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary_on_the Trent 0 Posted July 13, 2011 As mentioned above Vaughan and Bennett aren''t 6ft. However I see your point and believe Lambert is toughening us up to a certain extent whilst adding pace in De Laet, Bennett, Pilkington and Vaughan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Europe_93 11 Posted July 14, 2011 Does anyone remember the 4-0 hammering we took at Chelsea in the cup. I just remember how every anyone of their 11 players was stronger and faster than any of our 11 players (I''m pretty sure the only one that could compete was Dickson Etuhu in the middle and he went off after 20 minutes. Don''t get me wrong, Chelsea were a fantastic side in 2007 and contain some of the world''s best. Whilst technically Norwich may struggle against some of the best opposition this season, we must ensure as a minimum that we compete physically and are well organised. I think we are well set up.
