There is a remarkable symmetry to the early stages of Norwich City’s two seasons under head coach Daniel Farke.
What happens next is the big question for Canaries fans now, as league form improves and another Carabao Cup fourth round tie sits on the back-burner.
Last season that competition took City to Arsenal for a glamorous trip to the 60,000 capacity Emirates Stadium, taking Premier League opposition to extra-time in a valiant display – which proved rather costly.
Both campaigns began with spirited draws away from home, 1-1 at Fulham last year and 2-2 at Birmingham this season.
Victory in the first round of the League Cup against lower-level opposition followed, in amongst a win and a defeat at Carrow Road and an away defeat, losing 4-2 at Villa in 2017 and 2-1 at Sheffield United last month. So far, so similar.
It was the fifth league game of both seasons which proved the turning point though, with that horrible 4-0 defeat at Millwall last year matched by a chastening 3-0 home loss to Leeds.
From there a nine-game unbeaten run unfolded which breathed belief into the new regime being led by Farke and sporting director Stuart Webber.
Progress to the second round of the cup had been wrapped up with a 4-1 home win over League One side Charlton ahead of the Millwall game and a 1-0 Carrow Road victory over Birmingham following the first international break began an upturn in form.
This season the timings were slightly different, with a more impressive defeat of Premier League opposition in round two of the League Cup kick-starting things, thanks to a fine 3-1 success away to Cardiff. Then a disappointing draw at bitter rivals Ipswich at least held on to some potential momentum heading into the international break.
What has unfolded since has not only kept the comparisons running but overtaken the rapid progress that kicked the last campaign into life.
Four successive victories have stoked the Carrow Road coals, bringing supporters together in appreciation of renewed spirit and determination being added to the quality within the City squad.
So far it’s a six-game unbeaten run and with another six league games to follow before the fourth round of the Carabao Cup, in the week beginning October 29, it’s going to be quite an ask to remain unbeaten through until cup action returns.
The big difference will be that this season’s fourth round tie won’t arrive just two days after the East Anglian derby.
It’s quite ridiculous when looking back on it but the Canaries won 1-0 at Ipswich on a Sunday afternoon and then went to Arsenal on a Tuesday night, making four changes to the starting line-up.
The heartbreak which followed at the Emirates, when youngster Eddie Nketiah salvaged extra-time in the 85th minute and then disappointed the 9,000 away fans with a winner, had a big effect.
A 10-game nosedive of one win in Championship games followed that draining evening, shredding any hopes of a successful first campaign for Farke.
So whoever the Canaries learn they will face in Saturday night’s fourth round draw, it’s safe to assume it’s unlikely we’ll be seeing a first-choice XI this time around – although City’s second string have progressed well so far that doesn’t necessarily mean an end to the fun.
The timing will be slightly more kind, following a home game against Brentford on Saturday, October 27 and preceding a trip to Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday, November 3. However, City’s German coach is now well aware of the intensity of Championship demands, so even if it is another glamour tie league form will surely be the priority.
U.S.-backed forces proclaimed the capture of Islamic State's last territory in Syria last month, eliminating its rule over a caliphate which it had proclaimed in Iraq and Syria in 2014.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) appealed on Sunday for information on the whereabouts of three employees abducted in Syria more than five years ago and last known to have been held by Islamic State.
Breaking its silence on the case, the independent aid agency identified the three as Louisa Akavi, a nurse from New Zealand, and Syrian drivers Alaa Rajab and Nabil Bakdounes.
US-backed forces proclaimed the capture of Islamic State's last territory in Syria last month, eliminating its rule over a caliphate which it had proclaimed in Iraq and Syria in 2014.
"We call on anyone with information to please come forward. If our colleagues are still being held, we call for their immediate and unconditional release," the ICRC said in a statement.
"Our latest credible information indicates that Louisa was alive in late 2018. The ICRC has never been able to learn more details about Alaa and Nabil, and their fate is not known."
The three were traveling in a Red Cross convoy delivering supplies to medical facilities in Idlib, northwestern Syria, when it was stopped by armed men on Oct. 13, 2013. Four other people abducted with them were released the next day.
"Following the fall of the last territory held by Islamic State group, we fear there is an extra risk of losing track of Louisa, though we remain hopeful this period will instead open new opportunities for us to learn more about her whereabouts and well-being," the ICRC said.
New Zealand's government said it was searching for Akavi, who successive administrations had previously asked media not to name as they feared it would put her at greater risk. Foreign Minister Winston Peters said the government had deployed a non-combat team based in Iraq of around twelve people that included special operations personnel.
"This non-combat team was specifically focused on locating Louisa and identifying opportunities to recover her," Peters said in an emailed statement.
"Unfortunately the current whereabouts of Louisa is unknown. However, the New Zealand Government continues to work tirelessly to locate her and bring her to safety."
After being moved by IS forces to Raqqa in 2017, Akavi was seen in Al-Bukamal in late 2018, close to the Syrian-Iraqi border near the Euphrates River, the last concrete information on her whereabouts, he said.
"What we actually know is that Louisa has been working as a nurse during her abduction which shows her dedication and commitment to the mission and mandate of the Red Cross - caring for people affected by conflict," he said.
SACRAMENTO � Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger blinked, and the freshman assemblywoman who grew up in Stockton came out on top.
The governor on Tuesday backed down from his pledge to veto all bills to come across his desk until legislators pass a budget. A spokesman said Schwarzenegger now intends to sign four bills related to the November election, one of which would modify a $9.9 billion high-speed rail bond scheduled to go before voters.
That bill � authored by Assemblywoman Cathleen Galgiani, a Stockton native who now lives in Livingston � would make the Altamont Pass corridor eligible for at least some funding to improve existing passenger train service there.
Schwarzenegger spokesman Aaron McLear said legislators have sent roughly 800 bills to the governor for his signature; he will act on only four.
�The governor believes that despite the fact that the Legislature has failed to do its job, Californians should be able to consider these measures,� McLear said.

Catch the guitar legend at Hoyt Sherman Place July 15.
USA TODAY's Jefferson Graham talks to Peter Frampton about what made him take a fan's phone at a recent concert.
I hung up on Peter Frampton. Twice.
It wasn’t on purpose, I promise. But that doesn’t make it any less embarrassing. We’re talking about a rock ‘n’ roll icon here. My phone quit working sporadically (twice) on the Thursday morning Frampton called in to discuss his upcoming tour stop in Des Moines and new acoustic record, causing me to, well, hang up on him.
Have you ever hung up (twice) on Peter Frampton? It’s a weird feeling. Do you call him back? Does he call you back? Do you turn on “Frampton Comes Alive!” and throw your good intentions toward the rock gods? You don't exactly take a course on Frampton limbo in college.
He called me back. The conversation that followed was nothing short of cordial, informative and entertaining.
Frampton, who turned 66 in April, plays Hoyt Sherman Place on July 15. The show comes squashed between two legs of a longer tour, the first half of which was with Lynyrd Skynyrd and the second half with Gregg Allman.
The best part about Des Moines’ show? Neither Lynyrd Skynyrd or Gregg Allman appear on the bill, meaning the show is all Frampton.
Touring and playing professionally since the 1960s, Frampton says playing live is part of his DNA. He notes he doesn’t enjoy traveling, but counters with saying he has the means to travel in comfort.
“It’s phenomenal for me because I don’t know what else I’d do because it’s what I love to do. As long as people want to see it and come to the shows I’ll be doing it,” he said.
His latest album, “Acoustic Classics,” came out in February. The record provides stripped-down and riveting tracks Frampton fans have come to adore (such as “Show Me The Way” and “Lines On My Face").
When first transitioning to perform acoustic in a live setting, Frampton said he was petrified to perform without his Les Paul and 10,000 watts of Marshall amps backing him up. Even in the beginning of his "twilight years," the record shows Frampton’s passion to keep playing.
This year marks 40 years of the aforementioned “Frampton Comes Alive!,” a historic live rock record that remains one of the best selling live albums in the history of music.
Frampton said he wouldn’t be performing the record groove-for-groove the way he did when celebrating the 35th anniversary of the record, but the track’s cuts would find their way into the set list.
