RVW showing good hold up play according to the bloke watching on Sky Sports News earlier.Very interested to see him play alongside the likes of Hooper in a two-man strikeforce before the season starts. Assuming Hughton gives this a go. I''m sure he will.

[AJ 1,218]

RVW has come very close in most games to scoring a few, he will find his shooting boots. The serious stuff starts at Everton, I''m sure he''s banging them in during training

1-1 Whoops

[ReadingCanary 0]

30 yard screamer

[King Klose 0]

Oh wow people getting doubts over RVW already. I thought it would be 20 mins into the Everton game before that would happen.

Following the pinkun match stream. Jeez, where do these people come from? Worse than Canary Call.

Pre-season results are meaningless. Barcelona just drew 2-2 to a Polish team and Neymar didn''t score. I bet they aren''t panicking.

Cardiff just lost 3-2 to Brentford, and that makes our result look good in comparison.

It''s unbelievable, they have literally just turned their computer on and gone on there to moan.

[ron obvious 1,502]

Just finished 1-1, Apparently Becchio missed a dead cert header right at the end.

Sounded like a good work out tonight, players still getting used to one another. Redmond sounded good, Brighton obviously well ahead in their season preparations, so I''m quite pleased with the result.

[Stig 0]

Haha, I''m not doubting the guy for the season ahead! I''m just looking forward to his first goal in a norwich shirt. Keep your wigs on :)

And I suppose we are trying to get injuries and are probably giving 100%. What a comment!

I know, Webbo, when I read that I did what you might call a "facedesk".

Prepared for the “binner alert” calls but genuinely worried for us this season. Last season our preseason was crap and looked at how we started, I don’t go with it’s all about fitness, winning is a mentality.

This is Houghton’s second season, so he should have the tactics nailed on by now, I don’t think we’ve learned the lessons from last year. It took two gung ho performances right at the death to save us, these left us in a flattering position by the end of the season. Our squad has improves significantly, but look at the stats, in our last 25 games including preseason, 3-4 wins?

I think Hughton will be sacked after this outlay within 15 games, simply because his tactics are too negative for the modern game.

Don''t fall into the "last xxx games" statistics trap, Bill. You could choose the number of games to go back any way you like in order to show how good/bad/indifferent our form is.

NCFC... unbeaten in 1!

Just seen the goals on SSNBright scored a brilliant brilliant goal.Becchio and Wolfswinkel should have scored. Wolfswinkel needed to life his shot. Becchio... needs to header better !

Absolutely not so. I''m afraid you are talking complete nonsense. Every team finishes in the position it deserves to finish. The season lasts for 38 games and you play every other team twice. Your position at the end of the season completely reflects the success, failure or otherwise of your season. To think anything other than this is simply ridiculous.

[Bill Car 0]

Fair point city first, but before the West Brom match we we’re far from safe after a disastrous run, our last two wins shot us up the table.

Webbo, frankly I disagree, in this context are you saying that if a team won all of its first half of matches and lost all of its second half of matches you shouldn’t be worried in the following season as the team earned a respectable league position? I know this is just an example but I do find our form worrying.

[Branston Pickle 3,653]

Surely last season''s form is irrelevant when a new season, with new players, starts. Our ''form'' as you call it, doesn''t yet exist.

[Olly 0]

I do find it amusing that people actually take pre-season games as serious indicators of what is to come, rather than just the run around and getting to know how each other play, which is what it is

[Bill 1,788]

The problem is Bill the table is over 38 games, The dates you play teams will always distort the picture but it evens itself out at the end.You might just as well claim that the inside lane runner in the 400 yards was only saved from being beaten by having a shorter distance in the last bit of the race.Likewise we were not in a false position because it reflected what the clubs around us did, failed to add to their points atlly over those two games ie their points total was over the whole season as well.
