Interesting profile of Elliot Myles, following in Jon Rowe's footsteps: https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/norwich-city-elliot-myles-the-new-jon-rowe/ They ignore the fact that we also have Abu Kamara returning from a successful season with Portsmouth.
Tzolis goals and assists this season, I know he’s put up good numbers but I’m not sure he will ever make it at Championship level. I hope to be proved wrong but the intensity and speed seems a little lower than Championship standard. I hope I’m wrong!
"Four Norwich City youngsters featured as England’s under-20s drew 2-2 with the Republic of Ireland’s under-21’s. Abu Kamara and Kellen Fisher started for the Young Lions for the second time in five days, while Brad Hills made his first start at centre-back after appearing from the bench in Friday’s 2-1 win over Sweden. Tony Springett started at right-wing for the Boys in Green, being replaced by Armstrong Oloflex after 78 minutes." "Kamara is expected to be part of the first-team group after shining on loan at Portsmouth last season, while Fisher will hope to add to the 14 first-team appearances he registered in a promising debut season at Carrow Road. Hills will have to fight for a place in the squad as one of four centre-backs returning from EFL loans, although he's highly rated having won Accrington Stanley's supporters' player of the season award while in Lancashire. Springett will hope he can impress new head coach Johannes Hoff Thorup after a mixed loan spell at Northampton Town, having been on the fringes of the senior setup for nearly three years." https://www.pinkun.com/sport/norwic...-hills-kamara-springett-fisher-international/
That's good news. He's still just 19. Only a three year contract, though. I wonder if it's because Aboh wouldn't sign a longer one.
3 years plus a one year extension option for the club. That's pretty normal for a 19 year old still unproven in the senior team other than 8 minutes in the 5-0 win against Rotherham.
A fairly large step up from League 2 (I see Scottish Premiership is sort of an average of lower Championship level on average)
A friend of mine originates from Dundee and came round to watch the Dundee derby on Sky. I was surprised at the quality on the pitch and it will be a test of our lads ability to compete. The only other thing I noticed was the performance of McCracken. You could see why we let him go - scared to come off his line and dithered and panicked if the ball was passed back to him.
Our u21s are currently winning 6-1 against West Brom despite being down to 10 men since the 6th minute. Ken Abou has scored 1 and got 4 assists, Myles has scored 2. Jaden Warner and Tomkinson started as the CB pairing so unlikely either will be involved tomorrow
Four home games at Carrow Road coming up for the U21s in an international competition I hadn't heard of -- The Premier League International Cup. Matches are against Sparta Prague, Nordsjaelland, Ajax and Werder Bremen, 7pm KOs. Fixtures and dates on the club website.
I thought it would be a revamp of an older competition like the senior men's comps are getting. I was wrong, here is some information about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premier_League_International_Cup
"Norwich City prospect Gabriel Forsyth made his debut for Scotland's under-19s as they beat Azerbaijan 2-0. The 18-year-old started in midfield for the young Tartan Army, trusted by new boss Neil MacFarlane in his first game in charge of the side. Goals from Rory Wilson and Rudi Allan-Molotnikov secured the comfortable friendly victory for Scotland, who return to action against the Faroe Islands on Friday. Forsyth has six caps to his name at under-17 level, but was promoted by MacFarlane after an impressive start to the season at Carrow Road." Eliot Myles also started for the Wales U18's in their 0-0 draw with the Czech Republic. https://www.pinkun.com/sport/norwic...-city-gabriel-forsyth-features-scotland-u19s/
