MATCH REPORT

More minutes under the belt and a handy little 2-0 win for City over Huddersfield

24th July 2021 By Samuel Seaman 6 Comments

Lacking in rhythm and without their full complement, City got the job done against Huddersfield.  There were shades of their clash with the Terriers in September 2019, when the Canaries dragged themselves over the line as they slowly shook off their relegation hangover. On that day, when Adam Idah’s first league goal won it late, […]

MATCH REPORT: Another toughie at Oakwell but a point and the Championship trophy!

9th May 2021 By James Colman 3 Comments

End of season games tend to have a narrative that is separated from the action on the pitch. When the team sheet dropped, it was clear that this was going to be just such a game. When Alex Tettey first came to Carrow Road nine seasons ago, few could imagine the influence that he would have […]

Classy and emphatic. The Canaries seal the title in style with a win over the Royals

1st May 2021 By James Colman 10 Comments

Not so much of a match report today – at best half a report! The weekend that football chose to have a social media blackout was also the day that iFollow chose to deny access to many Canaries fans, myself included, for much of the first half. When I finally got on with 10 minutes […]

MATCH REPORT: City’s Unders-23s slide to defeat against a strong Wolves side

26th April 2021 By Samuel Seaman 5 Comments

City’s Under-23s were routinely beaten by a strong Wolves side, goals from Luke Cundle, Owen Hasketh and Jack Scott securing a 3-0 win for James Collins’ side. David Wright chose a young City development side, under-18s Sean Stewart, Saxon Early and Sam Blair selected as the much heralded Colney production line continues to produce. After […]

MATCH REPORT: Joy in Shepherd’s Bush for City and the title is one point away

24th April 2021 By James Colman 4 Comments

The question today in bright sunshine at the stadium formerly know as Loftus Road was whether there would be a hangover from the lets face it, hangover performance against Watford. The game started with a bang – Todd Cantwell, sold short with a pass out of defence, conceded possession and Kakay whipped a ball across […]

MATCH REPORT: Watford close the gap to five as City’s rhythm is again ‘hornetted’

21st April 2021 By James Colman 4 Comments

After the Boxing Day match against Watford, I remember penning my concerns that City were outdone by exactly the sort of physical, technical, and pacey side that had proven their undoing in the Premier League. Last night’s match at Carrow Road has done nothing to ease my fears. Watford started the game impressively. They pressurized City […]

MATCH REPORT: A promotion party spoiled (only briefly) by Woodgate’s Cherries

18th April 2021 By James Colman 5 Comments

As promotion parties go, it’s fair to say that it didn’t quite go according to plan at Carrow Road. Swansea and Brentford had played their part earlier in the day by failing to land three points, end even Watford stumbled. City set off at a pace. The speed of movement and the precision were reminiscent of the […]

MATCH REPORT: Burnley Under-23s 2, Norwich City Under-23s 2

12th April 2021 By Samuel Seaman 4 Comments

Late goals from Burnley’s Lewis Richardson and Dara Costelloe denied Norwich City’s Under-23s a valuable three points, after goals from Abu Kamara and Matt Dennis had given the Canaries a 2-0 lead in Curzon Ashton. The match started in hectic fashion, Burnley striker Richardson smashing a volley over the bar with the Clarets’ first attack. […]

MATCH REPORT: Norwich City Under-23s 0, Leeds United Under-23s 2

19th February 2021 By Samuel Seaman 6 Comments

City’s Under-23s fought valiantly against a strong Leeds United side, losing 2-0 as three players were sent off. Leeds’ Nohan Kenneh’s red card was sandwiched by two for the young Canaries, midfield duo Reece McAlear and Melvin Sitti also the recipients of pairs of yellow cards. The game was won by strikes from Max Dean […]

MATCH REPORT: City make light of a St Andrew’s quagmire to collect another three

17th February 2021 By James Colman 1 Comment

If Brian Moore had opened tonight’s iFollow coverage from St Andrews, no one would have batted an eyelid, the pitch looking like something rarely seen since the days of Midweek Sport Special.  The rain teemed down and the opening minutes of the game were like the first weeks of Dancing on Ice. City’s players began […]

MATCH REPORT: Soto limps off as City’s Under-23s come unstuck in the Potteries

16th February 2021 By Samuel Seaman 1 Comment

Norwich City’s Under-23s were left frustrated on Monday night, as a strong Stoke City side came from behind to beat them 2-1. Josh Martin was the most recognizable face in a side that featured three players with first-team experience, Reece McAlear and Andrew Omobamidele also making the starting eleven. Sebastian Soto also made an appearance […]

MATCH REPORT: City hit a 2018-19 vibe with blunders offset by some swashbuckling

13th February 2021 By James Colman 7 Comments

The critics have been out in force this week, the full range of doom and gloom which, if to be believed, would convince you Daniel Farke has lost it, Teemu Pukki is passed it and Todd Cantwell just falls over all game. And bring on Seb Soto for good measure. And somehow, despite an emphatic […]

MATCH REPORT: Another unbeaten run comes to an end as City misfire again

6th February 2021 By James Colman 7 Comments

The omens didn’t look good.  The portly sight of Simon Hooper leading the teams out onto the pitch and an opposition containing Conor ‘always scores against Norwich’ Hourihane did nothing to ease the pre-match nerves. Daniel Farke restored Jacob Sorensen to left-back and brought Kenny Mclean back in for Mario Vrancic. I hesitate to say […]

MATCH REPORT: Tricky one at The Den as City fire more blanks but a point gained

3rd February 2021 By James Colman Leave a Comment

The traditional measure of any foreign signing is ‘looks good but can he do it on a cold Tuesday night at Millwall’, or words to that effect.  This question was asked of the entire Norwich squad and for the third game running, they were found to be wanting. City started brightly and had several attempts […]

MATCH REPORT: Off-colour City outsmarted by Colin’s recently wounded Teessiders

30th January 2021 By James Colman 7 Comments

After a break for FA Cup action it was back to Carrow Road for the serious business of the league once again.  After some gloomy injury forecasts, there was a relatively familiar look to the City line up – a debut for Dimitris Giannoulous the main point for discussion.  But the brooding figure of City […]

MATCH REPORT: Canaries = a boa constrictor… an irresistible force… remorseless

21st January 2021 By James Colman 3 Comments

A return to a blustery Carrow Road. For me, completely alien, sitting as I am in Dubai watching the game on beIN Sports with Arabic commentary replacing the usual dulcet tones of Chris Goreham. From the start, it looked like Bristol came to play a game of football, rather than the 10 men behind the […]

MATCH REPORT: City overcome a lively Barnsley with Emi the match-winner

2nd January 2021 By James Colman 3 Comments

A New Year, and an entertaining contest at Carrow Road topped by a wonderful Emi Buendia goal. Long may it continue.  Tim Krul made his long-anticipated return from injury after Michael McGovern was effectively ruled out for the rest of the season. Ben Gibson replaced Christoph Zimmermann in defence.  Barnsley started in an aggressive and energetic manner. A […]

MATCH REPORT: Two points dropped as City stumble against Warburton’s battlers

30th December 2020 By James Colman 6 Comments

It was almost as if City were trying to distill a whole 12 months of football into a single 90 minutes at Carrow Road tonight.  Dominant in possession, an injury to a crucial player, marginal decisions going against them, and a frustrating concession out of nothing. Daniel Farke made just the one change, preferring Mario […]

MATCH REPORT: Watford’s latest new manager succeeds with the age-old 4-4-2

27th December 2020 By James Colman 1 Comment

Christmas is a time of great traditions. The Queen’s speech, turkey and all the trimmings, and a Boxing Day defeat for Norwich City.  And this year it never felt as though it was going to be any different.  Watford, with another new manager, began the game in the unfashionable 4-4-2 formation, Troy Deeney and Andre […]

MATCH REPORT: City stay top at Christmas thanks to Cantwell/Buendia masterclass

19th December 2020 By James Colman 2 Comments

It gets difficult to write about this current Norwich side. For opposition managers, they present an almost unplayable proposition. That is not to say that they will blow any team away, more that whatever tactics are employed against them, they possess the nous to find a way to win.  In the first half, Cardiff stood off […]

So sad to see the passing of the great man, Roger Harris. Synonymous with @NorwichCityFC as club photographer for >30yrs, he took some of our families’ most prized photos. Patriarch of a gr8 family who were all a huge part of #ncfc life.

Was delighted to call Roger a friend RIP

Trent’s first ever football game. He seemed to really enjoy himself but that’s only because he didn’t understand what was going on 🤣💛💚 #ncfc
