Brief match report:
http://www.canaries.co.uk/news/article/2016-17/under-23s-report-norwich-city-valencia-3293885.aspx
4 overage players were allowed to feature, hence Turner Bassong & Dorrans, who, let's face it all need some minutes under their belts as squad members.
One swallow doesn't make a summer, but it sounds like Pritchard was a live wire during his 45 minute run out <ok>

Totally agree Cromer, but what does AN have to lose by giving him an hour or so on Saturday???
 
Just read that next Tuesdays game against Wigan is general sale £28.
Seriously considering going after work I like evening games
 
Strong team. Stretching it a bit to say they are under 23.

You'd really only say Morris and Efete aren't part of the senior squad, with Godfrey and Thompson a little more out of the picture than the others. Swap those and Jones out and fans of other clubs probably wouldn't blink if we fielded that side in the league. Pleasing to see we've such strong U23 players, with a good result to boot!
 
Good chance of Pirchard coming off the bench for either Naismith or Wes, but my guess is that 20-30 minutes is more likely.
I'd be inclined to start with AP and if he fades or tires, consider a change.
The less I see of Naismith and Whittaker in a yellow shirt, the more confident I'll feel of us getting a result <ok>

I think Efete has a bright future - he looked very strong to me when I saw him at Posh last week.

He's suppose to be very decent prospect. Where did he play last night. He use to be a right Wing-back, but then he went of a run of games playing LB. Not totally sure where his strongest position is.
 
Was that a friendly last night?

In the U23 league, what are the rules on age? How many players above 23 are you allowed?
 
I believe 4 senior players plus goalkeeper are allowed in this competition as overage competitors.

Edit :- 3 senior players plus goal keeper allowed in these matches.
