Norwich manager Liam Manning says his side need to stop giving away soft goals, after Swansea condemned the Canaries to their eighth defeat of the season on Saturday.
He told BBC Radio Norfolk: "Back to where we've been, it just hurts with the type of goals we give away and it's something we've been saying all season.
"It's cost us all season and it's something I'm working extremely hard to change, but it's proving quite a challenge in terms of just the softness and the manner of the goals.
"I spoke to the lads a lot that if you don't respect and take enough care of doing the simple things well enough, the little bits, then at this level you'll get punished - and that's what happened today.
"We have to change it and we're chasing that, it's a bit frustrating. I thought we responded well to going a goal behind, got back into the game.
"But forget formations, systems, structures, if you turn it over in such an easy manner and such an open way you're going to get punished... and we keep doing it."
