Finding Out The Lowdown On Our Hosts From Norwich

Last updated : 07 August 2006 By @pnemad

So after relegation to the Championship most outside of Norwich tipped you to bounce straight back up last season. How well did last season go in your opinion?

Last season was very disappointing for most Norwich fans- we also expected to be promoted, but injuries and team selection at times let us down.

What are the expectations for this season?

We would expect Norwich to be at least in a play off position at the end of the season.

How have the fans taken to ex Preston player Etuhu?

I think Dickson would be the first to agree he struggled with level of fitness required at Norwich, but has shown pre-season that he could be a very important player this year.

Nigel Worthington seems to be under pressure, will he last the season?

Nigel came under a lot of pressure last season as the expectations of the fans was that we would return to top flight football – the Norwich board are backing Nigel again this season and he will have to work hard to keep his job.

Who should we look out for at in the Norwich side this Tuesday night?

Darren Huckerby is one of the influential players and is often double marked by the opposition.

What are the strengths and weaknesses of Norwich at the start of this season?

Our strengths are the levels of fitness our players have gained during pre-season training. On the negative side Robert Green is out injured following his injury whilst playing for England.

Any new players brought in during pre season who have impressed?

We have purchased Lee Croft during pre-season who is expected to perform well.

Finally a prediction for the match.

Norwich win – 2-1
