Bit of an unfair matchup, Portsmouth used their senior squad and sent out a fresh XI for the second half, whilst that's very much an academy side for Norwich. Really only Thomas who has got anywhere near the first team.
From the Official Site: "Norwich City Under-23s produced a valiant display despite going down 2-0 against Portsmouth’s first-team in their first pre-season friendly on Saturday morning. Two first-half free-kicks from Lee Brown and Ronan Curtis gave Pompey the victory but City could be pleased with their performance, creating a host of opportunities in the second-half in particular." Interesting that Thomas was captain. Fitzpatrick was our other experienced player and could be moving towards the first team this season. https://www.canaries.co.uk/News/202...n-by-portsmouth-in-first-pre-season-friendly/
The new kit with a smaller Lotus logo on the front would be good. Don't like Dafabet as a sponsor. I didn't recognise many of the starting 11 today ,but after 11 straight losses and not many games I am really wanting to see a win at any level and a goal would be a welcome relief. Pretty sure a couple of over 23 year olds are allowed a run out . Has there been a pre season schedule worked out yet ?
Thomkinson, the 18 y.o. from Dallas, played the entire game. I wonder how he played. A 6 ft 3 in CB with a chance to be a home grown player, it would be nice to see him continue his development.
Is this Thomkinson? If so, he looks to possess the build as well as the height! please log in to view this image
The other picture could be Louis Lomas, a 5ft 10in (according to ESPN) CB who had his loan to Tampa Bay cut short last season. But don't hold me to that.
Sorry it’s not wiki, it’s Google. When you search his full name on google, it comes up with a stats panel at the top of the searches. Seems not really much more reliable tbh!
Lomas on Transfermarkt: https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/louis-lomas/profil/spieler/504197 No height or weight though.
Sounds like Gibson has his heart set on Boro. Shame, but if he's not convinced/not open to being convinced, then best for both parties if we move on.
