Hurrah! We've Scored a GOAL!

Paul Lambert has a major headache ahead of City’s trip to Stockport County after admitting that none of his three right backs are likely to be fit for the fixture. The manager is without Jon Otsemobor, Michael Spillane and George Francomb who are all sidelined by injury, and has no option but to find a short term alternative for tomorrow’s game at Edgeley Park.

However, the City boss is reluctant to switch Korey Smith, who filled in at right-back for most of the second half against Swindon, to the defensive role confirming he is too valuable in his preferred role in midfield.

Attempts to make a loan signing have failed, and the only other options available would include switching Russell, Doherty, Askou to right back, all of whom have played in the position before, with the most recent being Askou who finished the Swindon game in that position.

Midfielder Stephen Hughes is also a major doubt after failing to recover from the thigh strain that sidelined him last weekend, whilst Luke Daley is also doubtful after picking up a thigh strain

Any back four reshuffle will depend on whether Matthew Gill is ready to start the match, and the midfielder is making strides in his recovery, along with his fellow midfielder, Owain Tudur Jones.

Both men played the full 90 minutes at Portman Road during the week and Lambert admitted that Gill is ahead of Tudur Jones in getting minutes on the field under his belt.

Whilst problems abound on the right side of defence, Adam Drury is preparing to make his 300th senior appearance for the club this weekend and has yet to miss a league match this season.

The Canaries face Stockport, with whom they have never shared a goalless draw, in fifth place in the League One table, whilst County are fifth from bottom and have one just once in their last seven fixtures.

Gary Ablett’s side are set to welcome back winger Carl Baker for their match against City, after he missed County’s 2-0 defeat against Brentford with a calf injury, but the midfielder has now recovered and is set to return to the side.

Boss Gary Ablett has no other injury concerns apart from long-term injury absentee Matty Mainwaring, who has a broken leg and will not return this year.

Grant Holt

City captain Grant Holt has admitted the fear of the manager’s axe is driving every Norwich City player forward this season.

Despite having netted 10 goals already this season as City’s form increases, Holt has insisted that manager Paul Lambert would have no problems dropping him, or anybody else, if they do not do as commanded.

The talismanic front man says the vision of spending Saturday afternoons watching from the sidelines rather than playing continues to keep him on his toes as the team plot their way back to the Championship.

City’s captain has put some of the reasons for his own good form and that of the team down to the fear factor of being dropped by Lambert for not performing.

Holt, who has already achieved cult status among the fans in his short time at the club and has also been hailed as the club’s new Iwan Roberts for his all-action, no-nonsense style, has admitted he is happy to have the full backing of the City faithful.
