Wrexham travel to Norwich for another Saturday game where two American owners pit their two teams against each other. Wrexham are 21st and will be looking to climb away from the relegation zone, whilst 10 placed Norwich will want to look upward and try to close in on a playoff place

Form:

Norwich:LWLWD
Wrexham: LLDWL

In total the teams have played each other only 10 times in their history with the last game back in 1982 where Norwich won 4-0 (how we would love a repeat of that score in the Canary's favour!) 8 wins for Norwich and only one for Wrexham in the FA Cup in 1970.

After escaping Coventry with a point Norwich will hope that their signings are bedding in nicely and they are able to push forward, however as so often is the case injuries can derail a team and Manning will be hoping that both Kvistgaarden and Chrisene are not out for long and that this game will be a story of another American in Josh Sargent making headlines again for the right reasons.

What with Hollywood Bowl on Riverside and the success of the county in attracting an ever-increasing number of major film and TV productions, I'm hoping Wrexham consider the upcoming fixture a home game for them. The more away games we have the better, on current showing!

Wrexham have let in ten goals so far, but seem quite decent in attack. If we set up in a negative formation at home against them and invite them to come on to us rather than put pressure on their defensive weaknesses, we may as well abandon all hope.

reminds me of the old DeliaDome match day threads - can't remember who did those (scratches head)

I think it was/may have been a poster called CanariesSoccer. Here is a quote from a post of his on the Norwich v Derby match thread, April 2011:
"End of the Second Quarter @ The DeliaDome and it's Canaries One, Ramz Nothing. An S. Jackon upper-body-score-attempt separating the two Franchises."
He had an American eagle on his avatar but gave his location as West Norfolk. Last heard from 2018.

I remember his excellent US oriented posts but he disappeared in my recognition without notice. Unlike another annoying anti poster who has recently re-emerged.

I can't see us doing that, but I could see Wrexham doing that with a low block defence and hoofball up to Kieffer Moore.

Nice to see an early injury crisis, no season would be complete without one

West Norfolk?... probably Liz Truss then, but she started getting too busy during the last few years. She might start posting now since she was ousted.

They were certainly creative. I seem to remember some of the forum posters taking a dislike to his Americanisms and he packed his bags...shame really.

Could he have been a US serviceman based at Lakenheath? He wasn't just an NBA fan. He posted that he'd once kicked a basketball from one end of the court through the hoop at the other end. Resurgam, who I recall enjoyed the match threads, will probably remember him.
