Match Report – Norwich City 3 – 0 Yeovil Town

March 7, 2010 in Match Report, Norwich City FC by Nelson's Revenge

Yeovil TownNorwich’s relentless march towards automatic promotion from League One continued as they strolled to their 12th win in 14 matches with a 3-0 victory over Yeovil.

Leading scorers Wes Hoolahan, Grant Holt and Chris Martin all hit the target to take their cumulative total of goals up to 60 as Norwich dismissed the challenge of the visitors with a minimum of fuss.

With Darel Russell completing a three-match ban, Lambert named an unchanged side from last week’s 1-0 win at Oldham. However, there were two changes on the bench, with loan signing Stephen Elliott, included at the expense of Tom Adeyemi.

Declan Rudd returned as substitute goalkeeper in place of Jed Steer after missing two matches with a back strain, whilst defenders Adam Drury and Zak Whitbread and striker Cody McDonald were still sidelined by injury.

The Canaries took less than two minutes to grab the initiative as Hoolahan opened the scoring with his 14th goal of the season after Holt’s header from Anthony McNamee’s corner had struck the post.

Lambert’s side went on to dominate the remainder of the game and should have doubled their advantage just before half time when Holt played a one two with Chris Martin and rounded keeper Alex McCarthy, only to hit the side netting.

City duly wrapped up the points 20 minutes from the end with another scrappy goal, after McNamee’s cross from the right was headed high up into the air by Terrell Forbes and Holt was on hand to convert from inside the six yard box, when McCarthy missed his punch.

The win was made safe six minutes later when Holt set up Martin for his 20th goal of the season, with the striker’s shot trickling into the back of the net after being only half stopped by the keeper.

It was a comfortable win for Lambert’s side, with Yeovil seldom threatening, and Terry Skiverton’s side have now conceded 10 goals in three meetings with City this season.

Match Preview – Norwich City v Yeovil Town

March 5, 2010 in Match Preview, Norwich City FC by Nelson's Revenge

Yeovil TownNew signing Stephen Elliott is likely to straight into Paul Lamber’s squad ahead of tomorrows visit of Yeovil Town to Carrow Road.

The Republic of Ireland striker has signed on loan from Preston for the remainder of the season, as the Canaries increase their bid for promotion, although he is likely to have to settle for a place on the bench

Lambert could be tempted to rest Chris Martin, who has looked out of sorts in recent games, and should that be the case then Oli Johnson is likely to start alongside leading goalscorer Grant Holt.

Midfielder Darel Russell completes his three game suspension, while Zak Whitbread and Adam Drury remain sidelined through injury, although the latter did return to training this week.

Cody McDonald, who had his contract extended until the summer of 2012 this week, is also absent with a thigh strain.

Yeovil manager Terry Skiverton will be hoping to name an unchanged side after back to back wins, which have lifted the Glovers to 12th place, nine points clear of fourth from bottom Oldham.

Skiverton will be keen to keep faith with his players, although he is sweating on the fitness of striker Dean Bowditch, who was substituted in the second half of last Saturday’s 1-0 home win over MK Dons as a precaution.

Ryan Mason was introduced from the bench as Bowditch’s replacement and could be handed a start should the former Ipswich man not make it.

On loan Brighton attacking midfielder Arron Davies is expected to keep his place in midfield after replacing Owain Tudur Jones, who was on loan at Yeovil from the Canaries before returning to Carrow Road.
