Norwich City boss Alex Neil has declared himself happy with his side's pre-season showing to date.
The Canaries fell to their second defeat of the summer on Tuesday evening, having been edged out by West Ham United at Carrow Road.
Despite the narrow loss, Neil remained in a positive frame of mind after the match, claiming that the newly-promoted Premier League side find themselves in a "good place" at this moment in time.
"It was a good test," he told reporters. "In terms of fitness and being put under pressure, it was a good game for us.
"When they changed shape we didn't respond as well as I'd have liked. Fitness and confidence-wise, though, we're in a good place."
Next up for City is a meeting with Brentford at the weekend, before their league opener against Crystal Palace seven days later.
