Hay ready to shuffle his pack
September 5: Canaries manager Darran Hay will reshuffle his team following the departure of Mark Smith to Cambridge City this week. Hay looks set to bring Michael Cox into defence alongside Dean Gilbert for the game against Tiverton. “It’s a great chance for them to forge a partnership in defence. Michael’s an excellent footballer and can play all over the park. I think this will give us a new dimension in defence.”
