Only two games into the season ...



.... but plenty of glowing reports about the football Norwich City have been playing.

The midfield trio of Safri,Etuhu and Robinson have been sensational, they carved Leeds apart at times last Saturday, but could not find the net, Robert Earnshaw missing chance after chance.

The striker finally got onto the score sheet in midweek in the
2-0 win over Preston. "Earnie" has scored in 8 of the 9 home games he has played for Norwich, including the last 5. He was quick to praise his team's performance saying that at times "we were brilliant" and "I just had to stand back and applaud".

City have made lots of behind the scenes changes, a new first team coach, Martin Hunter, has been brought in and boss Nigel wortington has been quick to sing his praises... “We have a new coach, new ideas and new thinking. It's been a magnificent appointment. We are all of the same mind in that we want to pass the ball and Martin is part of that. We didn't pass it well last season for different reasons, it just didn't happen but that's what we're going to do.”Worthington said mental strength, built up over a tough pre-season schedule, had also played its part in City's bright start to the season.

They have a positive thinking campaign in place at the training ground and under took a very thorough pre season conditioning, that is already paying dividends.There is a real belief within the club at present and this is light years away from the doom and gloom that surrounded Carrow Road for much of last season.

Today they face a Luton side that have started with two wins, but they were a little fortunate to beat Leicester and then met a injury hit, Sheffield Wednesday. Town admit they are coming to defend and will settle for the draw, think that this will play into City's hands and I feel we must stick with the Canaries. The form was boosted last night with Preston's 3-1 win at Wolverhampton.

4 points Norwich City -1/4 ball 1.74 asian line.

Good Luck.
