The thing I never ever understand is why teams in a higher division always have better fitness...why???? Why can't lower teams have the same fitness?

Ghadzev good at spraying passes wide. Finds DKE who twists and turns his man but his final cross is blocked for a corner

It's not fitness its athletism.

I wouldn't always say it's fitness, it's about the type of work you put in on the pitch. Better players use their physical capability better.

Mowbray appears to be missing from the dug out again tonight

Can't see him in the stand either. Any other local friendlies he may be viewing? Birmingham playing? Since he went to watch them when we played Rugby?

Chipfat · Jul 26, 2016

I'm not sure it's fitness so much just better athlete's. So they cover more ground at a quicker pace that with the ability of being able to do that all day.

sw88 · Jul 26, 2016

We've found him. Like where's wally this game having had to play it the last two games

sw88 · Jul 26, 2016

Vlad hits the bar with an almost perfect direct free kick.

Better or more physio's, club doctors, nutritionists, sports scientists.

And as others have said it isn't necessarily just fitness, our players can probably cover the same amount of grass in kM as a lot of top players in the top flight. But the top players are generally sharper, stronger, change direction faster and have quicker reactions.

speedie87 · Jul 26, 2016

I always say athleticism is how quick or graceful you can do something and fitness how many times you can repeat it, I'm athletic but not fit these days!

stevefloyd · Jul 26, 2016

We need to look for better athletes then.... simples

sw88 · Jul 26, 2016

Ghadzev takes a foul for the team to stop Norwich going forward. Clear shirt pulling. Normal game, yellow card. Friendly, polite talking to from the ref, although he probably didn't understand a word

stevefloyd · Jul 26, 2016

Good lad... or should i say ghad lad

Well we kept the score down to 1-0 first half. I'd take a clean sheet for the second even without scoring ourselves.

Whilst we've got forward at times, apart from the keeper we were lucky to get, we seem in able of testing the keeper.

Hadji10 · Jul 26, 2016

Gadzhev is a really good footballer. We're more than holding our own here.

Not quite the tanking the CT seemed to be hoping for then.

Good updates mate
Vlad seeing a lot of the ball?

stevefloyd · Jul 26, 2016

Ive liked the look of Vlad in pre season.. he can quite clearly pass and is very comfortable on the ball

stevefloyd · Jul 26, 2016

He looks vladdy good

skybluedan · Jul 26, 2016

What's the word on sordell, he look any good

Maddison on for them second half

He's looking useful. Always looking to play a pass out wide. Perhaps that's the reason for our chance in formation for this season?

Don't think it suits us mind, but he certainly fits it well. He and Rose are seeing a lot of the ball but mainly in defensive positions

I'm Vlad to hear that

robbiekeane · Jul 26, 2016

How many city fans there

sw88 · Jul 26, 2016

Good counter by us. Haynes cross finds Thomas who chests it but shot deflected

Corner comes in and Willis reaches it but heads it sky high rather than at goal then keeper catches unchallenged

King of the Lesbians · Jul 26, 2016

"I'm feeling…Vlad all over
Yes I'm…Vlad all over…"
Actually, that sounds a bit weird but he sounds like he might do well.

Think we agree it looks about 300ish

No service to work with, makes good runs. Looks a huge confidence player. Hopefully he can get a good start to the season.

skybluedan · Jul 26, 2016

I went to Norwich once , the first time the away bit on top was open to away fans a cup game mid week as the Saturday game was postponed an hour into the journey we lost

sw88 · Jul 26, 2016

Robert on for Spence
