Birmingham v. Norwich in Soccer

James Kent
Norwich goes into a game against Birmingham knowing they have a decent record against the blues. Under Peter Grant Norwich won both games 1-0 and earlier in the season the sides drew 1-1.

Bryan Gunn has a few things to ponder. First of all Hoolahan is out for the rest of the season, and Darel Russell is suspended for the next two games. The other major factor is whetever or not to throw Alan Lee straight in.

I would expect Bryan Gunn to name a cautious line-up. The emphasis should be on keeping things tight. Later in the second half a player like Cody McDonald could really surprise Birmingham. I am hopeful that Norwich can get something from this game. If we play like we know we can, we can get a point.
