Preston V Norwich

James Kent
Bryan Gunn goes into this tough away trip still looking for his first win as Norwich City manager in an away match. Gunn has enjoyed two very good away draws and maybe this time it will be all three points. It will be a tough game with Preston chasing a place in the play-offs. Preston also managed to beat Norwich to the loan signing of Andrew Davies. However, Norwich has managed to add to their defensive options by signing former player Jason Shackell on loan for the rest of the season.

The game will also see another former Canary Chris Brown play against his former employers if selected. Norwich may decide to keep things simple and play 4-4-2 with two out and out wingers and two central strikers. With Carl Cort in such good form it makes sense to get crosses into the box. Jamie Cureton can expect to find himself back on the bench following some wasteful finishing of late. Norwich will have to do without the services of both Bertrand and Clinghan.

My Team:

Marshall

Drury

Shackell

Doherty

Otsemobor

Carney

Fozzy

Russell

Croft

Cort

Gow

Subs:

Nelson (GK)

Grounds

Hoolahan

Killen

Cureton

Match Prediction

There is no doubt this will be a tough game for Norwich City, but I have a sneaky feeling this will be an away win for City. I think it will be a quite even match with City just nicking the result with another goal from Cort.

    Jim, you asked for comments, I would suggest using an enlarged vocabulary rather than repeating words and phrases in the article.
