Best League Win:
9-0 v Bristol City 28/04/1934
Division 3 South
Last meeting: Coventry
City 1, Norwich City 0 (March
8, 2008): Norwich City were
reduced to nine men as they
were beaten by the only goal
at struggling Coventry. Gary
Doherty and Darel Russell were
each shown two yellow cards
at the Ricoh Arena as the Canaries
went down to an early goal by
Jay Tabb. Tabb struck after
just six minutes when Spanish
defender Juan Velasco was caught
out by a Michael Doyle through
ball. Full
Match Report
Last Norwich away win:
14/02/2004 Coventry 0, Norwich
2 (Holt, Brennan)
Chances: At
last the Sky Blues seem to have
got some sort of stability off
the field now Chris Coleman
will be hoping to provide some
stability on it too. They escaped
relegation and now will be hoping
to push up the table in the
right direction. A solid side,
Coleman will be looking to the
likes of Michael Mifsud and
Leon McKenzie to provide the
finishing touches up front while
Jay Tabb is the inspiration
in the centre of the park.
