3rd November 2007
Result:
Norwich 3 - 1 Ipswich David Ashcroft had his first game in charge in front of the TV cameras, and his team did very little wrong. Ashcroft set them up to play with a fast tempo and Ipswich couldn’t handle them. This win moves Norwich further up the table and is there momentum beginning to build?
“I’m delighted with my second win in a row, and I’m even more delighted to get the victory in front of the TV cameras. I made a few tactical changes since we were playing at home, set up with a quick tempo and to get the ball wide, and I’m delighted with the results of the tactic.” Norwich Manager, David Ashcroft.
7th November 2007
Result:
Preston 3 - 3 Norwich A very even game between two very good sides did produce a lot of goals today. The point a piece was a fair result on the day and both managers will not be disappointed.
“A point is better than a defeat is it not? It means we do not lose the momentum that we have built up over the last two games. Happy with the work rate from the players and I have noticed already since I joined here that the fitness of the players has improved greatly and they can put a shift in for 90 minutes now.” Norwich Manger, David Ashcroft.
10th November 2007
Result:
Norwich 1 - 1 West Brom Norwich produced a solid display against the team sitting second in the table before the game. Norwich will be happy with the draw, but West Brom will be disappointed not to have won the game after having plenty of chances in the last 25 minutes to do so.
“Another point, every little helps. We played well in the first half against a very strong team, but they’re quality showed in the second half and I feel that my players just stood back and admire them which I am not happy about and will be telling the players that in training on Monday. We have a bit of a break before our next game so this will give me an opportunity to work on a few things such as set pieces and shooting. On an unrelated note, I am rather disappointed that no one player has stood out for me as a key player in the team, but its early yet, I hope someone will begin to shine soon.” Norwich manager, David Ashcroft.
24th November 2007
Result:
Burnley 2 - 3 Norwich A very entertaining game here with Norwich just shading it with a late goal. Manager David Ashcroft is beginning to mould a good team out of what he inherited, so lets keep an eye on how they go in the near future.
“I’m delighted with three points, and even more delighted with out six game unbeaten run. I had a break in fixtures in which I worked on fitness and set pieces, fitness was outstanding today and we worked hard right to the final whistle. I just hope that we can keep up our unbeaten run and keep climbing the table.” Norwich manager, David Ashcroft.
27th November 2007
Result:
Leicester 2 - 1 Norwich A cruel blow for Norwich as they lose a goal in the 95th minute. They played well, but that late goal has crushed them in an unbeaten month, until now.
Norwich manager, David Ashcroft was not available for comment.
Month Conclusion I’m happy with the month, we were unbeaten right up until the last game of the season and I feel that my team are beginning to play well together under my guidance. I hope I can have another month similar month in December.
