Bring On Bradford

Last updated : 05 January 2004 By Thomas Rooney

Bradford crashed out of the FA cup after ex canary Adrian Forbes scored two to send Luton to a 2-1 victory over the Bantams.

Bryan Robson has yet to set the World alight since taking over at Valley Parade and all I will say is that great players don't always make great managers do they Bryan?

Darren Huckerby will be making his full time Home Debut in what I like to call 'The Return Of The Hucks' and if Svensson does not recover from his knee injury, Huckerby looks likely to partner Leon McKenzie in attack for the Canaries.

Worthington insisted that Saturday's game is not a for gone conclusion and that the Canaries will have to focus if they are to achieve the right result.

"It's about us now," said City boss Nigel Worthington, as he turned everyone's thoughts to the first division promotion race ahead.

"It's about us focusing on what we have got to do and forgetting about what other teams might or might not do. There are 20 games to go – we'll be taking one game at a time and we've got Bradford next week."

Worthington was also disappointed with the referee’s display at Goodison Park. Norwich can rightly be annoyed at several decisions that were made. The free kick that led to Everton's first goal seemed harsh and the two penalty decisions could have easily not been given. Norwich also had a perfectly good goal disallowed for offside, which would have put Norwich 2-1 in front.

Everton came out of the blocks very quickly and it took us time to adjust to it," admitted Worthington, after watching Gravesen storm into battle with England wonder kid Wayne Rooney in eager support.

"Then they got the goal. Was it a free-kick? I'm not sure, but he's given it. We had the character to keep going, keep playing and we got one back. Then there was a penalty decision. Was it a penalty? I'm not sure – and then we were chasing the game again."

Norwich will still be full of confidence ahead of Saturday's game with Bradford and we all hope Huckerby can perform as he did in his last home game against Cardiff.

On the ball.......
