Best League
Win: 9-2 v Tranmere Rovers
03/12/1960 Division 3
 Last
meeting: Norwich City 3, QPR 0
(April 26, 2008): Rangers went down
to 10 men after just four minutes
when defender Damion Stewart was dismissed
for a shove on Evans, although it
appeared goalkeeper Lee Camp may have
committed the worse foul. Evans gave
City the lead after six minutes when
he volleyed in after Jamie Cureton
had turned back a cross from Darren
Huckerby. Fotheringham made it 2-0
10 minutes into the second half when
his shot, through a crowd of players,
took a deflection off defender Zesh
Rehman. Russell wrapped up the victory
when he floated a shot in from long
range after Camp had dribbled out
of his area and lost possession. Full
Match Report
Last Norwich away win:
26/12/2000 QPR 2 (Carlisle, Wardley),
Norwich City 3 (Roberts 2, Marshall)
Chances: Some bookmakers
have QPR as the favourites for promotion,
which seems odd as while they have
lots of money, with one of the world’s
richest men on the board, no-one is
really sure what to expect on the
playing field. Dowie has already made
a couple of astute defensive signings
with the likes of Peter Ramage and
they will help provide a backbone
for the likes of Akos Buzsaky and
Patrick Agyemang to express themselves
further up the pitch.
