It was almost a question of back to square one here. But City managed to scrape a win here. I’m not sure how given the first eighty minutes of nonsense.
For most of the game, City looked terrible. Where was the repeat of Tuesday’s performance against Wolves? Ok, we all know Norwich pretty well and we realised that this probably wouldn’t happen. But this was bottom of the table strugglers Donacaster Rovers at Carrow Road today. We should have done better.
The away fans were really lively, singing their Yorkshire hearts out. And when they went one up with 15 minutes to go from yet another penalty given away by City, they were ecstatic. In fact they were getting right on my nerves. And I would have done almost anything to shut them up. And with five minutes to go, they were silenced by a lucky deflection off Antoine Siberski’s head. One all.
Up to the eightyth minute the football from both sides had been dire. But Norwich decided on 80 minutes that that was the time to start playing football. And with Sibierski’s goal it was no more than Norwich deserved. And with four minutes of added time, there was a chance that Norwich could get a late winner. And a late winner they duly got. Lita cooly slotting home for a lovely victory in stoppage time. And I did feel a slight twinge of sadness for the travelling Doncaster fans. But not the away fan sitting behind us who celebrated a little too much when Doncaster scored the first goal.
So all in all a good win. Much needed. But still not playing anywhere near consistently enough for me. There are difficult games coming up against Derby County and Burnley, both away, over the next week. I don’t fancy us to get any points from those two games so we’ll be up against it again when Preston make the trip to Carrow Road in two weeks.
