Norwich City (h) Pre-Season 13th July

[Ragdoll Cobbler]

If Wrexham want to pay silly money for Guthrie then they can have him imo...

Would be a nice big financial payday for him too, so wouldn't begrudge him that either.

Looks like Brough won't be fully fit for the start of the season & Koiki is prone to an injury so getting in that 47 could be a shrewd move...

Nice to see Magalore back on the pitch

[guest3687]

bro and Opus 2 is such a culture clash.

Especially if you’ve been misgendered and never, ever went inside Opus 2 😏

[west stand oap]

Who is this "Magalore" of whom you speak?
        We have a new player called Magalore
        His parents came over from Bangalore
        He's now a crock
        'cos he's taken a knock
        He can dance the fandango no more

McGowan off to Tranmere??
        Aaron our captain of vice
        Is said to be off in a trice
        He wears his heart on his sleeve
        But if he's going to leave
        Memories of him will be nice

Wrexham want Guthrie
        Wrexham are keen on our Jon
        I hope he won't soon be gone
        They may have big bucks
        But they can get f**ked
        We don't want our Jon moving on

Where is Evers
        What has happened to our friend Everbrite
        I am hoping that he is alright
        This board's not the same
        Without our member of fame
        Get on your keyboard and write

        Sorry, I've nothing to do
        And after downing quite a few
        I was feeling quite sick
        So wrote limericks
        But now I am off to the loo

With apologies to all of our great poets

Of all the trialists on show yesterday, the left back (47) would definitely be worth a punt. The centre back also looked strong, but not so much the strikers on show. The 2 youth players Dobson and Wyatt worth a place in the first team squad. Overall the second half performance much stronger than the first although probably more to do with the opposition.

So the concensus is that 47 is Liam McCarron, still a year left on his Stoke contract? Loaner perhaps?

[west stand oap]

Is the club "miffed" that we are working out the names of the trialists?

According to Wiki he signed a three year contract with Stoke on 29th June 2022 so would have a year left to run. He has hardly played a game anywhere, the most being 16 for Carlisle in 2018-19. I have to say I'm surprised at this as he looked a decent player to me. Wiki of course are not the most reliable of sources.

If its sourced (which it is) then its reliable. A lot of the time things just aren't up to date, thats all.

Unless somebody alters players pages...

Don't know what he's been doing these past few seasons.... his only senior action last season was a 16 minute substitute appearance for Stoke in their 4-2 home defeat to Brighton in the FA Cup 3rd round in January.
Going back to the 2022/23 season he was on loan at Port Vale from Stoke but only played in 4 matches, starting each one but being subbed off in each between the 55 and 62 minute point.
Going back to the 2021/22 season his only taste of senior action was a 9 minute sub appearance for Leeds in the Premier League as they lost 4-1 at home to Arsenal (December 2021) and two appearances for Leeds U21's in the Trophy in September and November of the same year.

Sounds like hes got a similar track record to the last winger we had on loan from Stoke.

Wright-Phillips was released by Stoke in May.

[the grumpy old man]

Has anyone managed to figure out who trialists 48 and 43 were? We seem to have the rest covered.

I thought 48 looked ok, but No 43 hardly saw the ball - sort of like Harry Kane last night.

[west stand oap]

I assume Admiral Muskwe didn't impress.

[Lizard68]

I assume Admiral Muskwe didn't impress.

He looked big and strong, could be a useful addition if he can stay fit. Norwich just wanted to foul him, he got 3 or 4 free-kicks in the first half. Played on the left but did drift in at times.

Someone said Muskwe was the first half player No 45, No 43 and 48 were both second half.

Anyone know who this is? Sure he played RW, #46 I believe. Sorry if it’s already been said
