Norwich promise not to wave 'white
flag' at Chelsea
Norwich manager Peter Grant insists his side will not be 'waving
the white flag' when they meet Chelsea in the FA Cup on Saturday
after coming through a tricky fourth round replay against
Blackpool.
Two superb goals from Darren Huckerby helped the Canaries overcome
a brave challenge from the Seasiders, though efforts from Michael
Jackson and Shaun Barker appeared to be sending the tie to
penalties before Chris Martin struck to earn the Canaries a 3-2 win
and a dream tie at Stamford Bridge.
Grant said: 'There's no way we will just go there and defend - we
haven't got the players to do that.
'We've got a lot of good attacking players in this squad and we'll
go there and give it a right good go. There will be no waving of
the white flag and we're certainly not just going there for a big
party. Whenever I go into a game I'm always looking to try and win
it and this one will be no different.
'Obviously there's a huge gulf between the two sides - I've got
good players and wherever you look Chelsea have got world-class
players, but upsets have always happened in this competition and so
far this season there hasn't really been one.
'Hopefully we can change all that. If we play as well as we can I
think we can cause them a problem but having said that I'm under no
illusions about the size of the task. I played them twice last
season when I was with West Ham and we lost both times so I know
exactly what to expect.'
