Prior to the home game against Southampton it was brilliant to hear 'Thin Lizzy' announcing over the PA system that "The Boys Are Back In Town" - and not just because it happens to be one of my all-time favourite songs!
Former Canary skipper, Ian Butterworth has subsequently joined up with the new Carrow Road management team of Gunny, Crooky and Dixie, to complete a dream team that looks more than capable of developing into the real deal before the current season is over!
No side earns a point at the home of the top club in the Championship without having the fighting spirit and confidence inspired by a management team that knows a thing or two about how to succeed at Championship level and above.
The fact that Norwich had to come from behind twice to draw 3-3 with Wolves is even greater testimony to the transformation brought about by the influence of the old boys in the new set-up.
It is equally apparent that Bryan Gunn's experience on the recruitment side of the game is also paying dividends. Not only has he strengthened his squad in the short-term, by bringing in some experienced and talented loan players; he is also looking further ahead than the fight against relegation with the acquisition of promising 22 year-old, Cody McDonald, a prolific goal scorer with non-league Dartford.
It is, of course, still early days, but if the 'boys' from yesteryear can keep Gunny's unbeaten run going with a home win at the expense of Bristol City, they are likely to be in town - or in this case - Norwich City - for a lot longer than their current short-term contracts might suggest...
