Norwich 0 - 0 Crystal Palace
Merry Christmas and a happy boxing day! Crystal Palace rode into town for some festive football. We got a couple bad presents in the form of van Wolkfswinkel being out for a month with a torn hamstring against West Ham. Leroy Fer took his place up front. Redmond also got injured against West Ham but should only miss this game, so Pilkington rejoins the starting eleven. Oh, and we also welcome back Luciano Becchio who hits the bench after a few months out. This game was a bore draw with very little chances for either side. Managed to give Becchio twenty minutes and that was the only plus

Aston Villa 0 - 1 Norwich
Fer 29
A tricky away tie against Villa. A few members of the team were tired with the hectic holiday schedule but I stuck with the same starting eleven, especially as Nathan Redmond is still recovering from the bruised ribs he suffered in the victory at West Ham. Leroy Fer scored his fourth goal of the season just before the thirty minute mark after capitalising on a error from Ciaran Clark and prodding the ball into the back of the net. Surprised but happy with this result. Bring on the January transfer window!

Arsenal 2 - 0 Norwich
Cazorla 50, 79
First game of the new year and a return to his former club for Norwich manager Freddie Ljungberg. Not a happy return it turned out as Santi Cazorla scored a second half double. The first finishing off a neat move from close range and the second applying the finish as he rebounded on a save from Ruddy. Gave the returning Redmond 20 minutes from the bench but nothing exciting to report. The transfer window has opened and I already have an enquiry. Everton are interested in Michael Turner. Not sure what I'll do yet, and not sure who I plan to bring in

Norwich 0 - 2 Swansea
Amat 3, Hernandez 51
It's FA Cup time! We meet Swansea for the second time of season at home after a 1-1 tie earlier in the campaign. Bradley Johnson suffered a slight injury against Arsenal and didn't recover in time for this game. David Fox took his place in the center of midfield, with Redmond replacing Pilkington on the left. And we crashed and burned our way out of another cup. Swansea were just too good on the day. Jordi Amat scored after three minutes from a mess of a corner that somehow scrambled into the back of the net and Pablo Hernandez scored early in the second half with a low driven shot from within the area. Only positive was Nathan Redmond's exciting play on the left of midfield

Norwich 0 - 1 Chelsea
Willian 24
Any easy game, then. We welcomed Chelsea who beat us 2-0 at the Bridge at the beginning of the season. We also welcomed back Ricky van Wolkfswinkel to the bench after three weeks out with a pulled hamstring. Pilkington and Johnson also regained their spots at the expense of Redmond and Fox respectively. Only goal of the game came after quarter of an hour after a deep cross from Eden Hazard was found by a creeping Willian at the back post. Third loss in a row but still sitting quite nicely in 12th position

Man City 2 - 0 Norwich
Navas 51, Negredo 86
I seem to get all the big boys at once. Sigh. Funny thing is that the first half we did pretty well and could have actually taken the lead if Gary Hooper had't fluffed his chance. We paid the price as two second half goals conquered us. Jesus Navas was quick to pounce on a spill from Ruddy to drive home, and then Alvaro Negredo headed home from five minutes before time after a Nasri cross. Dropped to 13th in the table as a result of this loss

Norwich 1 - 0 Newcastle
Fer 68
Time for revenge after a 2-1 loss at St James Park earlier in the season. After Hooper's abstinence against scoring I decided to bench him in favour of Ricky van Wolfswinkel. That trick worked as it was his delicious through ball that unleased his fellow Dutch man Fer to slot past Tim Krul. Nathan Redmond, getting his second start in a row, was again on fire producing an electric display on the left. Will be interesting over the next season or two to see if a big club swips for him
Leroy Fer

In a deal set to go ahead in the summer, Norwich have agreed to sign Swansea midfielder Ki Sung Yeung. The South Korean, currently on loan at Sunderland will join up with his new team in June and cost 4 million up front and 4 million in add-ons. I'm very happy with this signing and look forward to seeing the challenge for spots in midfield next sumer
Ki Sung Yeung

What a crazy day, in which we see three deals happen with the club. One in, two out. In something of a coup Jeffrey Bruma has joined on a three and a half year deal from PSV in a deal that could add up to 10 and a half million. He can play center back and right back and I have a feeling he will be a first teamer in no time. In the other direction, Scottish defender Whittaker joined Fulham for 800000 and winger Elliott Bennett joined West Ham for 1.4 million. Whittaker didn't play a minute of football this season and Bennett managed about thirty, so neither will be missed

Everton 1 - 0 Norwich
Lukaku 77
Not a great game at all. And the first after a hectic transfer deadline. The only goal of the game came fifteen minutes before time as a stupid mixup between Ruddy and Bassong gave Lukaku a chance he couldn't miss, slotting calmly into the back of the net. It happens, but it's still frustrating. More bad news as Leroy Fer went off injured in the first half, being replaced by Gary Hooper. New signing Jeffrey Bruma, taking the number 3 shirt, replaced Johnson in midfield for the last twenty minutes to get his first tate of Premiership football

Norwich 0 - 1 Stoke
Crouch 72
Second loss in a row. The game was very bad, perhaps one of the most boring I've witnessed this season. But then again, Stoke were involved so it's not hugely surprising. Fer will be out for a game or two after his injury against Everton so Hooper returned to the starting eleven. I thought it was going to be a bore draw but Peter Crouch slotted in from close range after good dribbling work and a great cross from Oussama Assaidi

Swansea 0 - 0 Norwich
Looking to avoid our third loss in a row, we traveled to Swansea. Not the best place to get out of a slump. Fer returned to the bench meaning that Hooper and van Wolfswinkel continue their partnership. Surprised we got anything from this game, they were clearly the favourites and it was almost constant pressure for ninety minutes. Happy with the draw and specifically Nathan Redmond. A few times he played incredible through balls which deserved better finishes. Bruma played his second game of the season, again replacing Johnson in midfield in the latter stages

West Brom 2 - 1 Norwich
Rosenberg 49, Long 59 - Hooper 67
14th versus 15th as went to the Hawthorns looking for points. Should be a close one. With an unchanged team, the first half was quiet if not unexciting. The second half was completely different however has West Brom scored two goals in ten minutes. Rosenberg scored his first of the season after capitalising on a loose ball in the box, and then Shane Long headed in from a basic corner. Bad defending for both goals. We got a consolation as Gary Hooper did well to drive hard and low after a neat ball from van Wolfswinkel. Still 15th after this game
