Norwich captain Mark Fotheringham is confident his side will be raring to go when the new Championship campaign kicks off next month.The Canaries struggled for large parts of last season but Glenn Roeder led them to safety after replacing Peter Grant.

And now Fotheringham has set his sights on the opening game of the season away to Coventry on Saturday August 9.

The midfielder told the club's official website: "The first game against Coventry is going to be great, and it's very exciting.

"It's going to be a very tough league this year with teams who have come down and also those which have come up, with the likes of Swansea and Nottingham Forest it's going to be hard but we're all looking forward to it."
