    Norwich host Blackburn this Saturday Kick off at 3PM local time. Norwich came unstuck against Oxford in their first match and Blackburn beat Derby in their first match. In the cup both teams progressed, both games had seven goals, but Blackburn were the more comfortable team.

    Norwich's defence looks shaky, but they have some fluidity going forward. Will the best from of defence be attack in this game?

    I started to rewrite the Bryan Adams song Summer of 69 to fit our summer of 24, here is what I have got so far:

    "Summer Of '24"

    We got our first real take-over
    Bought out by Attanasio
    Free kicks 'til we could defend
    Was the summer of '24

    Delia and some guys from work
    Had a squad and we tried real hard.
    Rowe quit, Idah went AWOL
    I should've known we'd never get far

    Oh, when I look back now
    That summer seemed to last forever
    And if I had the choice
    Yeah, Norwich would always be there
    Those were the lost days of the window

    Warner starts for u21s tonight so I doubt he will be involved tomorrow. Ken Aboh also started and has 1 goal and 4 assists in the game so far!

    Rowe didnt make the squad

    Didn't Thorup say that it wouldn't be fair on U21 players looking to make a case for themselves, to have Rowe (or any first team squad member who happens to be available) taking up a team place? Obviously, there will be occasions when the primary need is to give a senior player minutes, but yesterday wasn't one of them.

    Forsyth in for want-away Rowe. The protracted transfer of Rowe is now getting to Idah proportions. What does the market quote for Rowe? Transfermarket quotes £9m. NCFC want £15m so perhaps £12m might seal a deal.Then we can get a winger in before the end of August.

    Elliot Myles on the bench despite having played for the U21s last night. Good messaging from Thorup.

    The Sarg puts one just wide and then hits the woodwork from a corner
