Henry Winter @ the telegraphy's match report

Recommended Posts

It needs posting in full -since when has Winter ever said anything like this about Norwich - tonight can''t get any better

These are the nights that Norwich

City
fans dream of, watching their terrific team take apart their

biggest rivals away from home. These are the nights that give substance and

further momentum to promotion campaigns. City are on the ball and on the

march.

If Norwich are to keep the second automatic promotion place, and Cardiff City

and Reading will have something to say about that, or rise via the play-offs

then Paul Lambert’s attractive side will be a delight to behold on the elite

stage.

Ipswich

Town
had been in good form but were blown away by the pace and

accuracy of Norwich moves, some engineered by the outstanding Wesley

Hoolahan, bringing goals for Andrew Surman, a Gareth McAuley own goal,

Simeon Jackson, Russell Martin and Dani Pacheco. Jimmy Bullard’s riposte was

fantastic, a 25-yarder, but will be forgotten amidst all the crowing from

those with Canaries on their chests.

Even before creating Norwich’s first, Hoolahan’s movement had troubled

Ipswich. Paul Jewell’s team simply could not track his runs, ostensibly

stationed at the tip of Norwich’s diamond but darting all over, such as

after 13 minutes.

When Marc Tierney collected possession down the left, Hoolahan made one of

those scampering little breaks. This was the type of move that makes

Lambert’s team so pleasing on the eye: a quick-thinking, quick-passing

progression into the danger area. It was all one and two-touch and Town were

at sixes and sevens.

have Scotland"Its a very, very good line.

[quote user="Roranicus"]It''s good to see such good things written about us in the national press. We''d be a good addition to the PL![/quote]

And it looked just as good from the City stand, pity I missed out on Portaloo ticket but I think there must have been 11000 at Carrow road last night and we all left very happy, Going UP UP UP.
