A VERY interesting article from MB today and I've picked out some of the more salient points - 'The palpable buzz of how City smashed Swindon going forward at the same stage last season has still stuck with me now. And yet of the 11 starters that night 12 months and one week ago, only Christoph Zimmermann repeated the trick on Tuesday. Indeed, seven of that Swindon 11 won’t feature at all in yellow this season: Angus Gunn, Marcel Franke, Harrison Reed, Wes Hoolahan, James Maddison, Josh Murphy and Cameron Jerome. So in turn it will be interesting to see come another 12 months on, how the XI that beat Stevenage matches up in terms of first team contention, sellable assets and those that were considered surplus to requirements. It’s hard not to be disappointed at Remi Matthews’s departure to Bolton. It was always going to be a case of Matthews needing to earn the trust of Daniel Farke during pre-season – and sadly his performances weren’t enough. Farke explained his thinking with his usual clarity – but the fact a permanent parting followed says a lot about how things went down, as well as the trust the club still has in its head coach.' http://www.edp24.co.uk/sport/norwic...academy-task-and-remi-matthews-exit-1-5656054
That defence was very raw. Zimmermann with 2 twenty year olds and an eighteen year old. Very Tomorrows World. And the only goal they conceded was a JM special type. Unstoppable.
