ON THE GAME
Robert Page said:
"Norwich have started well, but I think they will be wanting to do better. I think they will be one of the teams there or thereabouts come the end of the season and it will be a tough test for us on Saturday.

"You look at the teams you think will be up there before the season starts and Norwich are certainly going to be one of them and it will be good to test ourselves against them."
