Best League Win:
9-0 v Barrow 11/10/1959 Division 4
Last meeting: Crystal Palace
1, Norwich City 1 (January 1, 2008):
There was a bright opening to the
contest at both ends, and by the ninth
minute the Canaries were ahead. Dublin
nodded on Jon Otsemobor's throw-in
to Jamie Cureton, took a return pass
and squared the ball across the six-yard
box for one of the simplest goals
Darel Russell will ever score. After
the break Palace took advantage of
a rare moment of indecision in the
City rearguard to draw level. Gary
Doherty was penalised for a shove,
Ben Watson floated the free-kick towards
the penalty spot and the unchallenged
Morrison judged his glancing header
to perfection to give Marshall no
chance. Full
Match Report
Last Norwich away win:
05/05/1996 Crystal Palace 0, Norwich
City 1 (Hopkin og)
Chances: Love him
or loathe him, manager Warnock almost
achieved the impossible by getting
Palace promoted, mostly off the back
of introducing a batch of the club’s
talented youngsters to the first team.
The likes of Sean Scannell and Lee
Hills remain at the club and with
a few canny additions by Warnock,
especially up front, they could be
pushing the promotion play-off spots
once more as he looks to improve his
already impressive record in this
division.
