You Missed a Bit

Giilingham 0-1 Norwich City

Norwich City's Johnstone's Paint Trophy adventure continues thanks to Cody McDonald's second half winner.

That's all I can tell you because I wasn't there. It was the first Norwich game I had missed since March 2007 due to my new commitment presenting BBC Radio Norfolk's breakfast show. Midweek away games are going to be a step too far for me.

I had always been a little uncomfortable with covering games in the JPT. Not because of any lofty opinions of following a team too good to be playing in such a twee competition, mainly my lack of DIY abilities means I break out into a cold sweat at the sheer mention of any product you might find in B&Q.

I did listen to BBC Radio Norfolk's coverage, with the excellent Phil Parry standing in for me. It was actually quite refreshing to take on the roll of supporter for the night once again with my ear pressed up against the nearest radio willing City to score.
