    We'd be far too open and McKenna would be extremely exposed

    Hopefully that could be solved though if we bring in another winger as it would allow Koren to move into the centre giving us another threat

    Well I personally think Cam and Aluko are spot on for our needs. We've got a slow team and we need to be represented by pace on the wings. Yes Cam is frustrating and had a bad spell last season but Ive no doubt he'll come good when he relaxes and gains some confidence. Once he has a blinding game / assist / goal I think we'll see a new player.

    How do we know if we dont try it? Some things that seem a strange idea on paper sometimes work out in reality. And Koren isnt a pure flair attacker, he will track back and play a simple ball when required.

    We just need at least another winger though. In an ideal world we'd sign Elmohamady/Hammill and King. Add a box to box midfielder i.e. Watson and then we can really challenge.

    Think we may sign a winger and a central midfielder before the end of the month

    Funnily enough I made a similar comment last night when I saw the size of Grant Holt, apparently he was well miffed when they turned up at the KC, he thought they were going to the KFC :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Ive got a sneaky feeling that once Hobbs is fit we might see Faye in centre mid. Not based on anything like, I just get the feeling Bruce thinks we lack presence in there.

    Dawson - Bruce jnr - Evans - Oli are all carrying knocks. Only Evans has a chance for the Rotherham game.

    Rochdale Won 3-1 in the end. Stoke were held 1-1 @ Torquay and Barnsley lost 1-0 at some lower league club.
    Pre-Season it just that. Pre-Season and a fitness excercise. Far too much is made of poor form and results.

    Cooper will be out for 3 weeks at least. Shame as i think he has been as good as any during pre-season.

    I agree. Looks good to me. Add in Amos in goal and a back 4 of Rosie - Chester - Faye - Dudgeon. Very solid. Having Rosie & Dudg overlapping the wingers as we need to start creating chances for starters. Options on the bench as well. I enjoyed the game even though goal mouth action was very rare. But the passing and movement showed great promise. imo

    Grant Holt looks to have taken in the Parkin diet. A few waistlines in the Norwich team look in need of a reduction. I bet Holt went for the super size bucket after the game.
