Match Day Thread Pre-Season Friendly: Norwich vs Brentford

[ColkOfTheBarclay]

Only the pre season friendlies thread has mentioned the Brentford match, so I'll throw up a match thread.

Norwich XI:

Ruddy; Whittaker, Martin (c), Bassong, Brady; Howson, Mulumbu, Dorrans, Johnson; Hoolahan; Grabban.

Brentford XI:

Button, Yennaris, Bidwell, Kerschbaumer, Barbet, Dean, Vibe, Diagouraga, Gray, Judge, Gogia.

No RvW in the match day squad.

Interesting

Been trying to find a live stream, found this one http://www.stream2utv.eu/watch/29747/1/Friendly-Match-Norwich-vs-Brentford.html But don't know if or when they will put the stream on.

Stupid defensive error

We need to improve in defence

 

[ColkOfTheBarclay]

Great finish by Wes followed by a horrendous mistake from Martin and a great finish from the Brentford player! Shocking defending.

 

[K E M P]

I can't believe we are going to start this season with Martin as our first choice centre back.

 

[goldeneadie]

Can you elaborate please Colk. It sounds as though both have scored.

 

[K E M P]

Yes 1-1.

Horror show from Martin

 

[goldeneadie]

Just as against the binners in the playoffs. He is a decent defender at best, and they tend to play at a lower level than we are now at.

Defence has been my main concern for the new season and that goal exemplifies it perfectly. There are times when they dawdle and that will be fatal in the EPL. They gave us enough kittens in the Championship! I'd be interested in how Wisdom fits in but I'd still really like to see the acquisition of a solid CB.

 

[K E M P]

Brentford have had some good chances. Just then ruddy made a decent save from a 1 on 1

 

[K E M P]

We are having more chances but brentfords chances are better quality.

Lucky it wasn't RvW - it would not have counted as a save!

 

[ColkOfTheBarclay]

Still wondering what it is that Dorrans is bringing to this team?

 

[K E M P]

Have to say brentfords number 9, Andre Grey it think looks better than Grabban

 

[goldeneadie]

The old saying "you can't make silk purses out of sows ears" seems apt for our defence. We have too many sows ears.

I know, it's late evening for me and I have had 1 or 3, or more.
