"But we will batter teams once we can play to our full potential, I'm sure of that." TOM HAYLETT reports ahead of City's trip to South Wales this weekend. Thu, 21 Aug 2008 17:22:14 GMT http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=3977 http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=3977 "Andrew has been an outstanding contributor to creating a unified community club with a track record of commercial success that is very highly regarded in the footballing world," said club chairman Roger Munby, as the Canaries began their own search for a replacement.

"I think it was a big weight lifted off everybody's shoulders and we all started to relax and do what we are good at and that is moving the ball around the pitch and getting chances. Thu, 21 Aug 2008 11:55:36 GMT http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=3971 http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=3971 "I always thought I could be close to the first-team at Man City and I've always believed in myself, especially after coming off a loan period at Norwich knowing I could score goals," the youngster told the South Wales Echo, as he prepares to step back onto centre stage with the Wales Under-21s this evening. Wed, 20 Aug 2008 16:59:04 GMT http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=3966 http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=3966 "Everyone keeps saying we're all about Andy Bishop but we're not, and we showed that," said the Shakers boss on Saturday - a statement that will get the conspiracy theorists working over-time. "A fit Andy Bishop makes us a better team but without him on Saturday I think we put down a marker to everybody that we've got a decent squad that's going the right way... Tue, 19 Aug 2008 23:36:36 GMT http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=3964 http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=3964 I am not advocating hoof-ball. I love the way Roeder obviously wants to play, but a big striker gives a team more than a foil for a little striker. He gives harassed defenders an "out". He gives them an option other than passing sideways... Tue, 19 Aug 2008 16:56:39 GMT http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=3961 http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=3961 "We have agreed a fee with Newcastle for Shola and he spent yesterday at the club having a medical," Town boss Jim Magilton told his official website this morning, who has been on the trail of Lee Clark's Toon pal all summer. "We've had a good chat and things are moving on. He will be with us again today and hopefully we can get it all tied up."

"He agreed in a meeting with Dave Jones and I to waive a particular clause in his contract... I did put that in writing and asked him to return a signed copy, but Jimmy said he felt his word was enough... I did not force the issue and that was a mistake... Mon, 18 Aug 2008 23:43:24 GMT http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=3956 http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=3956 This year, until a striker joins us and Bell gets fit, just where - S[a]tan pondered - were the goals and the points to come from? Looking at the fixture list, Stan began to fear the worst and all manner of dark forms and apocalyptic scenarios began to flow... Mon, 18 Aug 2008 22:35:37 GMT http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=3952 http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=3952 "I think they're an excellent back four in the Champiomnship," said the City boss, speaking straight ater Saturday's opening home draw. "And I think those two full-backs will prove me right - that there won't be two better full-backs in the Championship than those two young lads. They're still both teenagers; both Premiership players." Mon, 18 Aug 2008 10:46:33 GMT http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=3950 http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=3950 Talk about barn doors and banjos. Norwich would struggle to hit the gates of Buckingham Palace with a hot-air balloon at the minute. There's little else to say, really... Mon, 18 Aug 2008 09:35:47 GMT http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=3948 http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=3948 "If I had to start [there], it's not a problem for me," said City's stand-in striker, now boasting three goals from his last four Norwich appearances. "I think I can do a job, but I don't want to be judged as a forward. I'm trying to stake a claim for my position - or the position I favour... Sun, 17 Aug 2008 21:50:09 GMT http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=3944 http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=3944 "I do the players who are in form - and I'll pick the strongest team that's available to me on a Friday afternoon. So for Cardiff next week - if we don't sign that striker I want; that physical striker that we badly need - it's possible that Darel has put himself very much in the position of starting. But not in central midfield, but as one of the two strikers... Sun, 17 Aug 2008 09:31:32 GMT http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=3942 http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=3942 "I am very shocked and disappointed at the current situation," were the Dutchman's carefully-chosen words last month when he was shown the door at the start of pre-season training. "Following discussions with my legal team, I'm unable to comment further at this time." Sat, 16 Aug 2008 19:59:31 GMT http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=3940 http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=3940 City's usual failings come back to haunt them in all-too frightening fashion before the break as first Hoolahan and then Lupoli fire either high or wide of open goals. After the break and the nightmare continued as Burgess calmly converted a 55th minute penalty, only for City's new stand-in striker to ride to the rescue. Sat, 16 Aug 2008 16:11:53 GMT http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=3935 http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=3935 In the on-going absence of that elusive target man, Roeder decided to keep 18-year-old Omar Koroma up his sleeve; it was time to go back to the Coventry pairing of Jamie Cureton and Arturo Lupoli - the hope with the latter was that with a week's extra training under his belt, his sharpness in front of goal would return in timely fashion. Sat, 16 Aug 2008 14:37:51 GMT http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=3933 http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=3933 "I'm fine," he said, explaining his Tuesday night absence. "It was just a bit of tiredness and I think the manager just thought it would be better to leave me for that game so that I was fit for Blackpool. So I'm fine - fit and well. And looking forward to the game." Fri, 15 Aug 2008 17:32:09 GMT http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=3930 http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=3930 If this initial trend of results was to show no sign of changing course and continue not just for a couple of months but even just a couple more games, then it will indeed be quite difficult to continue to bang on about how it'll all be alright soon enough... Fri, 15 Aug 2008 12:22:59 GMT http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=3929 http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/full_article.asp?i=3929 "It doesn't mean that the few that we've got in mind have gone away completely either - it's just proving difficult," admitted the City chief. He didn't have all his eggs in one basket; it wasn't Iversen or bust. "We have two or three options - and we're trying to land one of those two or three options. They will all bring the same kind of qualities to the team...

"It is obviously something that we've got to eradicate because if we are making simple mistakes like that then it puts extra pressure on the strikers when they do miss chances." TOM HAYLETT reports.
