Nigel Worthington: 'Norwich City have momentum heading into playoffs'

Former Norwich City manager Nigel Worthington believes that the team are heading into Saturday's crucial Championship playoff semi-final against rivals Ipswich Town with "momentum".

Alex Neil's side drew and won their last two games in the regular season, but they finished three points adrift of automatic promotion.

"Neither club, manager, players or supporters will want to lose but at the end of the day, somebody will," Worthington told Norwich's official website. "From Norwich's point of view, they've had a terrific season and they've got momentum.

"They're scoring goals freely, and if they can do that over the next three games they've got a great chance of being in the Premier League again."

The other playoff semi-final is between Middlesbrough and Brentford.
