Norwich v Wolverhampton Wanderers Tuesday 21 October 2008

Now you’re talkin ....

Norwich 5 Wolverhampton Wanderers 2

A good win, coming hard on the heels of a disappointing away loss at Bristol City on Saturday.

I was in two minds whether to go to this game. I wasn’t feeling fantastic and had an early start to consider for the following day. But struggle along to Carrow Road I did and was grateful for the result. A good win with a hattrick from Leroy Lita with Sammy Clingan and Lee Croft adding others.

Goals are a bit like busses I suppose. We’ve not looked like scoring for so many matches now. So when five do come along you wonder why there have been problems in other games. But then again, if you look at the goals again, at least three were total gifts from the visitors. The first bundled into the back of his own net by the keeper, the second was almost certainly an own goal, and the third a gift to Lita.

And why is it, Norwich can up their game for the table toppers - Wolves today, Birmingham last month. It really shows what this team is capable of given the right attitude.

Norwich went into the break two one in front. This in itself was disappointing with Wolves getting a late goal. But it was shortly 3-1 after the break but City gave yet another penalty away - the second at home this season and 6 all told. This can’t be all bad luck. But City took their chances well. And to be the table toppers 5-2 is no mean effort.

Let’s try and keep this up with the visit of Doncaster on Saturday.
