Norwich must deliver in 'massive' games - Stacey

Jack Stacey returned to action at Birmingham following his second concussion of the season

Norwich City defender Jack Stacey admits they have two "massive games" coming up as they look for an escape route from the relegation places.

The Canaries remained next to bottom of the Championship after losing 4-1 at Birmingham City in head coach Philippe Clement's first game in charge.

They have lost every home game so far this season - but take on Oxford United at Carrow Road on Tuesday evening before hosting QPR on Saturday.

"It didn't really matter who they were against, they are two games to try and turn around the home form, get the fans onside with us and get a bit more belief around the club," Stacey told BBC Radio Norfolk.

"Everyone is 100% committed now to going forward with the manager - we've done a lot of work already, but we still have a lot of work to go.

"He said he's watched every game from this season and he can see bits of where we're going wrong, but he can also see a lot of potential within the group, which we talk about a lot, but potential doesn't win you games.

"He has big belief in the squad - he's told us a lot of times. It's going to take time to implement exactly what he wants, but we have to deliver that on the pitch.

Norwich have only managed two points from their last 11 league games and have five points to make up on Oxford, who are currently 21st, the place immediately above the bottom three.

And they were on the back foot early against Birmingham after conceding the opening goal in only the third minute.

"The goals we conceded were nothing to do with the manager, it's the players on the pitch and we know that's what we have to take responsibility for," said Stacey.

"It's difficult when you're on such a run that we're on - you're never completely confident running on to the pitch but we have to change it ourselves.

"Maybe it takes one game or two games to get a run going and it starts to come back. We have to build that within ourselves and create our own confidence."

"Every manager has different ways so you have to, as quickly as possible, try and grasp how that manager wants you to play and what kind of team he wants to put out on to the pitch.

"But every day as a footballer you are judged, and whether that's by a new manager or the same manager, whoever it is, you have to keep your standards high."
