Opinion on the Norwich Colchester match, one from my view, and the other on behalf of another fan following a quick telephone call. (Norwich Evening News - 1 November 2006)
It was far from a happy Halloween at Carrow road last night. Norwich, with Huckerby and Earnshaw back in their ranks and showing their class, could have ended this game by half time. Instead, the City faithful had to face a cute finish from their old favourite, Jamie Cureton, and the pain of the U’s supporters chanting “are you Ipswich in disguise?”
Dickson Etuhu stepped up to the plate to rescue City in the 72nd minute from long range but Norwich, despite bringing on Dion Dublin, failed to add a second and let two points slip away. The performance was much improved from the nightmare against Stoke City, but missed chances don’t count for anything come the final whistle.

Colchester came to do a job. They were workmanlike and bossed the game for long periods. Whilst City looked better once Dion Dublin came on, they relied too much on the long ball. Etuhu’s produced another fantastic strike which followed some good build-up play, now he just needs to supply the same in away games.
Sad to say it was a point gained rather than two lost. If City are going to challenge for the play-offs they need to put teams like Colchester to the sword. Simply not good enough.
