Another draw, and another poor cup result

By: Edward | January 8th, 2008

Norwich, Norwich, Norwich. Why can we never drive a stake into the heart of lower league teams, especially when they come to Carrow Road on a cup visit? It just seems a superstition must lurk in the changing rooms, or on the training ground. Thats more likey. Managment doesn’t seem to make much difference. Under Worthington we always had difficulty getting past our first stage of the cup, and under Grant we got dumped out early on penalties in his breif but hideous tenure. So it continues with Roeder, however we were spared some unpleasant headlines. Just.

Norwich created chances, indeed Roeder said he feared what the result might be as early chances were squandered one after the other. Gradually, as is natural, the visiting team take comfort from this and march on with confidence and Bury stole a goal late in the game thanks to Andy Bishop. Thankfully, Gary Doherty spared the Canaries yet more rubbish headlines, especially with regards to cup performances, by equalising shortly after… ending his year and half goal drought! After the game Doherty said he found scoring in the Championship much harder than in the Premier League where he did have a much better record.

Oh well, another game we scarcely need in our precarious desire to avoid relegation. Norwich must make a journey to Bury for a game that isn’t desirable nor important (sadly) given our league position.

The only good news recently is that Mo Camara’s loan was extended to the end of the season and Matthew Pattison signed permenantly for an undisclosed fee. Also, we can wait and see what Chelsea’s Ryan Bertrand will be like.

Please, please may Norwich get a few wins under their belt again. Its too precarious I tell you!! Too precarious!!
