Norwich City v. West Bromwich Albion (9 April) [R]

[DevilDave]

I hope all Albion fans have had a blessed Easter today.

The Baggies will be in East Anglia on Easter Monday, and hopefully we might be able to "resurrect" our fading opportunity to earn an automatic promotion spot.

Norwich simply haven't been the same since they lost Earnshaw for the season. Still, with Darren Huckerby still leading their attack, it will be difficult to beat the mid-table Canaries at Carrow Road.

We cannot have any lapses like that deadly eight minutes of the first half that saw Stoke score three in quick succession.

Sam Sodje - our on-loan defender who was partially responsible for at least one (if not two) of Stoke's goals yesterday - will not get a chance to atone for his mistakes as he suffered a knee injury in the match.

Unfortunately, here in the States I haven't got tomorrow off from work, so I will only be able to hear the first half.

'Joe' Kamara - whom I am completely convinced will be playing elsewhere in 2007-08 whether we go up or not - was the hero for us at Norwich Monday afternoon, putting in an injury time winner to give us the three vital points.

We at least remain within sight of the top two. However, with eight points separating us and second-placed Derby and only twelve points available from our remaining matches, we will not only need to be perfect, but will also need those ahead of us to slip badly in their remaining matches.

At the very least, we've maintained that slim three-point buffer between ourselves and Stoke in seventh place in the table.

I only heard the first half of the match this morning (around 0700 PST), and it sounded like we were the better of the two teams, but were unlucky to score.

Norwich's Dickson Etuhu got the first of the match, but our loan defender Sam Sodje made amends for his Saturday gaffes by helping us draw level.
