KIO's not606 Match Preview


After a turbulent week at Carrow Road which has seen manager Neil Adams resign and Alex Neil take over the City hot seat, the Canaries travel to the Goldsands Stadium to take on league leaders AFC Bournemouth in round 25 of the Sky Bet Championship season. The Cherries have had a remarkable campaign so far having accrued 48 points from their 24 league games. Last time out they thumped Rotherham by 5 goals to 1 at The Aesseal New York Stadium in the 3rd round of the FA Cup so go into tomorrow's fixture on a real high.

Cherries Boss Eddie Howe

The Canaries on the other hand have been inconsistent to say the least with two resounding home victories against 10 man Huddersfield and Millwall in December papering over the cracks of a disappointing season considering the wealth of talent at their disposal. In their last match they didn't even muster a single shot on target against League 1 Preston in their Cup tie at Deepdale and was evidently 'the straw that broke the camels back' leading City chief Adams to offer his resignation to the City board.

ALEX NEIL | Meet Norwich City's new manager


It is now 14 games and more than three months since Bournemouth last lost a league match, while they went through December without dropping a single point, picking up 15 from a possible 15.
Cherries boss Eddie Howe is expected to welcome most of his league regulars back despite such a resounding Cup victory, although Yann Kermorgant's brace may have earned him a starting role.
This will be Norwich's first away meeting with Bournemouth since a goalless draw back in 1960, new City manager Alex Neil will be watching from the stands with first team coach Micky Phelan sitting in the dugout having prepared the side for this game.

OTBC

 

Not as comprehesive this week guys, normal service should hopefully be resumed next week.

My prediction is a 1 -1 draw for this one

 

Be interesting to see what line up and formation Phelan goes for - may give a clue as to just how much input he had (or otherwise) while Adams was in charge.

 

Well if we don't win today, Alex Neil should be sacked and Delia should install herself as manager- it's the only way forward

 

Thanks KIO, once again. Found this on the prediction thread: http://www.footballstreamings.com/live-streams.html

 

We've got quite a good record playing at Bournemouth with only 8 losses out of 27 with 11 of them being wins.

I've got a good feeling today!

 

Well done again, KIO. This would be a great one to win, but a draw more likely. Thanks for the stream info China. I'll try it as feed2all doesn't have it listed.

 

Give us a point today and I will be well happy. Somehow just need to stop them scoring and with our defensive error record, that could be quite a job.

 

Go Chris Martin

 

Derby lead at the Portaloo, that won't impress the world record attendance they've no doubt got there.

 

This won't impress them either, though it made me smirk

 

You mean all those fans that are heavily disguised as blue seats?

On that subject - the Derby turnout is far from impressive. Barely 1000 of them by the looks of it.

 

I'd quite like Ipswich to draw so that we put them top of the table when we beat Bournemouth 0-11 later today...

 

#NCFC team v @afcbournemouth: Ruddy; Whittaker, Martin (c), Turner, Olsson; Redmond, Howson, Tettey, Johnson; Hooper, Jerome.

 

There's something vaguely poetic about Chris Martin scoring his 100th career goal at Ipswich.

 

#afcb XI to play @NorwichCityFC: Boruc, Francis, Elphick, Cook, Daniels, Ritchie, Arter, Surman, Pugh, Pitman, Wilson. #AFCBvNCFC

Surman lines up against us, he'll probably show us what we let go now.

Derby down to 10 men.

 

Yep, letting Surman go was a big mistake in my eyes.

 

result for Derby. win for us and we're in the P/Os with our dear friends

 

As long as Brentford lose at home to Rotherham (Unlikely)

 

Afternoon all, just been to visit the Binmen but there's no-one about. It's matchday and there haven't been any posts ? I suppose they must have all been at the Portaloo watching C Martin put them to the sword
