On Saturday, the Canaries travel to Blackburn Rovers in an early Championship kick off (12:30 GMT) having returned to winning ways in style last weekend with victory over Stoke.
Ahead of the match at Ewood Park, Canaries head coach Johannes Hoff Thorup spoke to the media and here are some of the key points from his press conference:
Midfielder Kenny McLean remains out of the squad with an illness. They are targeting the following game against Oxford for his return.
Forward Lewis Dobbin will be part of the squad despite coming off at half-time on Saturday.
Reflecting on thee three points against Stoke, Thorup said he remains frustrated by some of the decision-making, despite the win. "We were just too loose at times."
"What we have to get rid of is our inconsistency and the unforced errors," said Thorup.
On striker Josh Sargent: "He can be out of the game for periods and we want him to push a bit more to always be involved. When he is involved, he's such a big threat."
On Blackburn and new manager Valerien Ismael. "I'm sorry to my analysis department as we needed to watch lots of his games. If we play to our best it should be about us."
"Everything is an opportunity for us at the moment. Saturday is another game in the league and we have to do our best. No games are more important than others - our approach should remain the same."
