Coleman out to sink Norwich

Coleman out to sink Norwich

Published Dec. 14, 2011 7:15 p.m. ET

Last season Blackpool frequently adopted a gung-ho approach during their one-term stay in the Premier League, which was exciting to watch but left them vulnerable at the back. That was certainly in evidence when they travelled to Everton, where they ended up losing 5-3. The Merseyside outfit could do with another high-scoring performance this weekend, having failed to net in three of their last four home matches in the league. And Coleman is optimistic there might be defensive gaps for David Moyes' side to exploit in the clash with newly-promoted Norwich. "A couple of teams may look at the way Blackpool approached the Premier League and take inspiration from that," Coleman told evertontv. "They took a view that if the other teams score two we will try and score three. "The teams that have come up this season haven't really sat back, they have gone for the wins. And maybe Blackpool have given them the inspiration to do that. "I've seen a bit of Norwich and I think they've done great since they came up. They've taken it in their stride and are playing the way they did last season, which is good to see. It definitely won't be an easy game, it will be tough but we will be hoping to win."
