'Stopping run of losses important' - Manning

Norwich head coach Liam Manning welcomed an end to a run of six successive defeats as they drew 1-1 with Championship bottom club Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough.

The Canaries again looked short of creativity in the first half after Josh Sargent missed a chance but he later redeemed himself with the pass for Mathias Kvistgaardens's equaliser.

"We've stopped the run of losses which is important and we deserved a point I think," Manning told BBC Radio Norfolk.

"We should have gone ahead really early on and then we concede a fantastic finish but we just didn't respond again and that's the issue. We get anxious, we get nervous, we get passive, we lose intent, but showed a response second half that we need to show from the start to the end - that fight, intent and purpose.

"We had numerous good opportunities but where we're at at the moment it's about having real intent and purpose with your actions."

There was an apparent angry exchange of words between Manning, skipper Kenny Mclean and defender Shane Duffy during a first-half injury delay.

"It was heat of the moment - Kenny was fine, me and Kenny were chatting. I think it was frustration more than anything, we spoke about it, dealt with it and that's it," the Norwich boss added.

They are next in action with a home game against Leicester City on Saturday.
