Norwich City will take of Newcastle United at St James' Park on Wednesday full of confidence following thier game against Manchester United at the weekend. They lost the game 2-1 but are up for Wednesday nights game - and Adam Drury can't wait.

Norwich Skipper Adam Drury said:

"We won't go to Newcastle with any fear – we'll go up there full of confidence. We can't afford to fear anyone in this league because you are up against good teams every week. You've got to stay positive – and we will. People were writing us off before the season but I think we've made a good start. Yes, we've only got one point from two matches but I think we've done well in both games.

"We were solid against Crystal Palace and could easily have take all three points and we gave another good account of ourselves against a very good side. There was a feeling of disappointment in the dressing room afterwards because we feel we could have got something out of the game. 

"Perhaps we didn't really start playing until we went 2-0 down but we certainly didn't disgrace ourselves out there. I think we showed we're in this league for a good reason. Overall, it was brilliant experience. Leading the side out at Old Trafford is something I'll always remember – and I enjoyed the game as well, even though we lost. It was hard work but you were playing against world-class players – and that's what you want to do as a professional footballer."
