Norwich man getting his excuses in early:

Only pre-season of course and all that. But that's the 3rd time this half Godfrey has gone to meet the ball first and not made it.

Remembering City are most likely a week behind Brentford in their preparations. Certainly an attacking sharpness to them on today's evidence. #ncfc

Even better. Now 3-1 and he’s saying “Bit of a shocker, that one - to be honest. Starting to show that they had a training session this morning. Hopefully”

Marcondes and Watkins (2) - maybe the coaching to prepare for Maupay's departure is bearing fruit.

Twitter says that Pinnock scored our third; cakewalk in the park, bring on Brum a week Saturday!!

77’ | Thomas makes another substitution:

ON
Oksanen

OFF
Jensen

FT: 3-1 Bees. Only a friendly, but against a premiership side so I'll take it.

Is it worry that we don’t have any forwards? :pop:

:fishing:

I'm currently having fun on the GPG transfer thread 20-21 where everyone is gnashing their teeth, wailing and rending their garments after rumours that Watkins and Marcondes have £45m of offers after they scored 35 between them to take us up to the PL - "pull your finger out Bennam and stop screwing the fans, we've got to go for it and stay up and you can't do that by selling off your stars, where are we going to get goals from".
 

Norwich friendly

Looks like I'm the first one to say he's the first one back.
Reports suggest that the Bees gave a good account of themselves, dangerous on the break on several occasions in addition to the three goals. Two goals from Watkins, one for Marcondes, with an assist from Forss. Perhaps the alarm over Maupay's possible/probable departure is excessive. Encouraging to see the Norwich reporter's comment that it looked like Brentford had put in a shift in training earlier in the day, leaving the premier league side looking as if they weren't firing on all cylinders.
 

Norwich friendly

Almost as many away wins as last season and its only july :fishing:
 

Norwich friendly

Always worth remembering the PL starts later than us so they will be behind us in terms of fitness.

But good to see real goals/assists from Forss, Canos, Marcondes and Watkins especially as the futures of Maupay and Benrahma are up in the air.
 

Norwich friendly

Nice cameo from Forss it seems. But lots of good things going from that report.

really think he could kick on this season, has all the attributes. midfield pairing of DaSilva and Jensen was interesting. Not what you would call a defensive minded pair..

With 3 CB's they're not required to be so defensive.

Interesting to see where Norgaard fits then?

I don't think he's solely a defensive midfielder. He looked pretty useful going forward too against AFC Wimbledon and I think Frank originally played him further forward in Denmark..

And when we play 3-4-3, which I suspect will be the more often used formation?

I don't think we've paid big money for him not to start.

I think we paid big money to get a DHM (that we've never really had) to allow us the play 4-3-3 that we will use as a more attacking formation.

Just watched farkes interview from after the game. His voice really grates, perhaps one for the illogically dislikable people thread

Agreed. You’d also think he earns enough to wash and/or cut his hair.
Claims we only scored in the few minutes after each time he made multi-subs.
I know the reason that the game was BCD. Keith Stroud was the referee! (Well I’d have rioted! {not sure if that can be singular}).
Two perplexing thoughts 1) Mr Stroud actually practices. 2) In the light of this discovery, how come he doesn’t get any better?

Be careful with what you say, Keith has had a life long struggle with the malady that is small man syndrome and it is this that prevents him from getting any better

A full bingo card of manager defeat cliches. Friendly results don’t matter particularly so getting him to feel he had to trot out the excuses suggests he was actually quite disappointed even in that context. Or that he was using the interview as his own prep for rationalising defeats on MotD.

....so, we've had Daniel Farke's post match interview on here, any chance that someone might post a link to Thomas Frank's one now, please?....

don't see this either. he's very happy here, just had the season of his life. if we **** him about, then maybe he'll be upset - but all indications from recent years are that we wouldn't do that. if a transfer doesn't work out, i'm sure he'll buckle down :sorted:

Of course he will. He's that kind of bloke, and it's in his own interest if he wants to remain marketable. Look at Arnautovic at WHU. This time last summer all his toys were scattered around pavement. Next thing you know, he's performing heroics for his team, prior to a lucrative move the following summer.

Good to hear TF still wanting us to be more aggressive in the challenge.
I do feel more comfortable that we're addressing our traditional weak points under TF than DS.

Sounds like Hammar House of Horrors.

Franks body language and tone sounded quite pissed off when talking about maupay. It is getting abit silly now. We are left in a sh*tty situation where we are going into the season with a player whos been segregated and no minutes in pre seaaon, or not going into the season with him atall. Why cant players just get on with things until valuations are met and theyre signinf on the dotted line for someone else.... Ridiculous

.....IMHO, he's more pissed off with having to talk about the situation, rather than the situation itself - maybe he's been told not to play NM because the club wants to protect the potential income from his prospective transfer, in which case it's totally out of TF's control, and whilst that would be unacceptable interference during the season proper and likely to bring about TF's resignation, it's probable that he understands the club's position given that they're only friendlies - frustrating for him nonetheless.....

Thats not the reaaon thats being given though isit? The reason being given is that his head isnt in the right place given the speculation and even if that is the reason he doesnt even appear to be training with the guys. Ofcourse it sin our best interest he doesnt get crocked but that does feel like the case here
