And so to Norwich.
I did all the prep work yesterday, but it's currently upstairs, so please excuse me while I go and get it. Meanwhile, have some old time music that doesn't currently promote fish fingers.
The Specials. From Coventry. Fate.
Right...confusingly, Sky is reporting that City are attempting to beat Norwich for the third straight time which apparently means the third time in the league since May 1999. Errr...we've only played them once in the league since then, when we won at Carrow Road earlier in the season. Not much of a stat.
Norwich have won two of their last six aways but the last win was against the Huns on 9th February. Since then they've lost three (they drew at Watford but 'Watford' and 'draw' feature in a lot in sentences in this blog) and have scored a massive one goal in their last four, a late equaliser by former Gashead Jamie Cureton. He's not the goalscoring threat: Ched Evans (on loan from Manchester City and it's short for 'Chedwyn'...UPDATE: he's riding the pine this afternoon) has scored three of their last four away goals. Another stat for you: half of those four goals came in the last ten minutes.
We need an early goal or at least one in the first half, which is where three of the seven goals we've scored in the last six homes have come. Specifically, Dele Adebola needs an early one, followed by a goal by Defender To Be Named Later: defensively, in the last two games we've conceded just before half time and this needs to STOP RIGHT NOW.
Wild guess time: a similar game to the Sheffield Wednesday one. We get a two goal lead, then either Cureton or Evans scores late and it's squeeky bum time with three quarters of an hour of injury time. As it's a Saturday afternoon game and I'll be sitting in my traditional spot, this is a case of normal service.
Mind you, it's blowing a gale and pissing down outside. 0-0.
Keep repeating the mantra...Coventry...Coventry...Coventry....
