Two draws against Wolves and Palace

By: Edward | Comments 2 Comments

Well, a few months ago in the darkest, gloomiest days of Norwich football, with depressing shadows lent kindly by a certain Mr Grant, we would have shrieked and sobbed our optimism away from fixtures such as these. Yes, to a degree, draws aren’t much good to us but it is far better for confidence [...]

Norwich 1-1 Charlton

By: Edward | Comments No Comments

Norwich started the game very brightly, a hatful of missed chances…then, as is typical with that type of opening, the other team scores a goal from very little pressure. Norwich 0-1 Charlton thanks to their multi-million pound signing Zheng Zhi.
Having said that, Charlton’s Sodje made a string of important moves and blocks in defence [...]

Scunthorpe 0-1 Norwich

By: Edward | Comments No Comments

More points, three at that…and away! And the table shows we are now up to 18th! The game wasn’t pretty, like our previous fixture admitted Roeder, but then he rightly said he didn’t expect it to be. These games aren’t and never will be BUT they have to be won. And [...]

Colchester 1-1 Norwich

By: Edward | Comments 2 Comments

Jamie Cureton could barely disguise his delight - and frustration- regarding Norwich City’s late equaliser against Colchester last Saturday. Colchester’s McLeod scored in the 79th minute to make it look like a 1-0 defeat and I thought we were facing a relegation battle setback…swapping places with Colchester once more. But, ten minutes later [...]

Taylor leaves…

By: Edward | Comments 1 Comment

The great loan addition, Martin Taylor, with two goals to his name (and surely key to recent revivals) has left Norwich after his loan period was not extended and has returned to Birmingham City…even though new boss Alex McLeish has made it clear he ‘does not feature’ in his plans for the blues.
It’s a shame. [...]

Norwich 1-0 Sheffield United

By: Edward | Comments 1 Comment

Norwich score early again! Ched Evans scores early again! But, Norwich are now out of the bottom three!
Ched Evans scored from a superb Darren Huckerby cross on ten minutes. Huckerby more than making up for the hard time the crowd gave him on Tuesday night. He summoned his old sparkle and [...]

Norwich 2-1 Plymouth

By: Edward | Comments 1 Comment

The survival fight continues, three wins in four now. More cause for belief?
I think so. I went to the game on Tuesday night and it was refreshing to see Norwich take the lead in the opening minutes through a slicing pass from Jamie Cureton to new loanee Ched Evans to score on his [...]

Stoke 2-1 Norwich

By: Edward | Comments No Comments

The two-win run ends in a defeat at Stoke, four points adrift again but… I am still optimistic. We are fighting. And that will need to be a consistent trait.
I feel disappointed, but the team does look in far better shape now. I can see where goals can come from and creativity. [...]

Blackpool 1-3 Norwich

By: Edward | Comments No Comments

Well, that was a game of drama and spirit. Our first away win this season, and our second in as many games following a drought of a winless eleven! Hoorah! We are now only a point adrift at the bottom of the table. And that, importantly, is scarcely adrift.

Three points, at last!

By: Edward | Comments 2 Comments

On Saturday, after a run of eleven games without victory, Norwich notched up a vital win that I hope will spur them on this evening.
