Norwich Match Preview


Let's be 'havin you!

Blackpool travel down to Norwich this Saturday to try and capitalise on their 5-3 win over Charlton last week and also to pick up their first 3 points away since the end of December. Norwich hold the record for the biggest score line to have happened at Bloomfield Road, when they won 3-1, and if Blackpool do what they did against Charlton on Saturday then this should be a great match.

Blackpool will be looking to make the 52-53 point mark ASAP and their away form will have to improve to achieve this. The team news looks not to change and the same starting XI that started against Charlton last week looks to be announced but with Keigan Parker, Michael Flynn and David Fox all playing well in the Reserves this may given Simon Grayson a puzzler to who he plays. One person who may not feature is new addition Stuart Green who pulled up in the Reserve warm up with a thigh strain. Dickov and Mcphee both look to pick up from where they left off on Saturday as Dickov will be looking for 6 in 6. Michael Flynn could be called back to the XI as GTF looked to have gained a knock last week. But as we know Larry is full of surprises.

Norwich bad luck has turned to good luck over the past few months as Glen “the king” Roeder as he is known to Norwich fans has dramatically turned the club around steering then away from relegation to battle for playoffs as they have only lost 1 in 15 games and find themselves 12th in the table 7 points off playoffs but if the lose against Blackpool then Blackpool could leapfrog Norwich. Dion Dublin and Mark Fotheringham return from their bans but with Darel Russell still banned on loan Kieran Gibbs and Matty Pattison both impressed Roeder and could be handed another Starting XI appearance.

Last time these two met was on Tuesday November 27th 2007 where Norwich won 3-1 at Bloomfield Road. On loan Bartosz Slusarski gave Blackpool the equaliser when Dion Dublin gave Norwich the lead from a free kick. Martin Taylor drilled a header in for 2-1 and toward the close Dion Dublin tapped home Blackpool’s biggest defeat at home.   

 My Prediction – Norwich 1-2 Blackpool
