CLARK LOOKS TO BOUNCE BACK
CITY'S assistant manager Lee Clark sees this Saturday's game against West Brom as a perfect chance to put last weekend's derby at Ipswich behind them.
Speaking to the Norwich Evening News, Clark explained that the defeat Portman Road had been a hard one to take for everyone involved.
"It was very disappointing. The result is the important thing in derby matches and we lost the game, but we have to move on," he said. "Everyone connected with the Club was disappointed but we have to look forward to the West Brom game and get a result that will keep us in the league.
"The players have trained very well. There was a lot of disappointment around the place on Sunday, but we've had to come in for work and prepare for West Brom. We can't feel sorry for ourselves. We have got three huge games to play and we have to get the results we need to make sure we're in the right league at the end of the season."
As the season comes to an end in the Championship, it is still incredibly tight at both ends of the table where everyone has beaten each other. Five points divide the top five teams in the league, while up to eight teams continue to fight to avoid joining Scunthorpe and Colchester in League one next year.
"That's why it is going to be the lowest number of points to win the league, and the highest points to get relegated," said Clark.
"There are different results week in week out and there will probably be only 20 points between relegation and the team that wins the league. So that's how tight it is and why we need to make sure there is no need for us to look over our shoulders and look after ourselves.
"Take away the Ipswich game and I think we've deserved 15 points from 15, but we've only taken six. But training this week has been bright and hopefully the Ipswich performance was just a blip.
"It is results that matter at this stage of the season, but it would be good to get both the result and give a good performance on Saturday."
With the Canaries preparing to welcome the Championship leaders on Saturday, City's assitant manager is well aware of the part that a sell-out Crowd at Carrow Road could play during the game.
"The support at home and away from Carrow Road has been brilliant and we have got to give them a good performance and a positive result. I know the fans will get behind the players and give them a positive reaction."
