“If we win the games we know we have to then we’ll win the league,” said the Norwich skipper after netting his 25th goal of a very fruitful season. “That was our aim from the start of the season and thankfully we’ve turned it around and we’re there now. We have a big March coming up and if we can go through that and come out the other side then we won’t be far off.”
“Yes, we were aware [of the Leeds result] but we can’t influence what happens anywhere else,” said Canary chief Paul Lambert after the 1-0 success. “We can only try and win our own games and it was another big three points.”
“It will be a hard game,” said the highly-rated goalkeeper. “We have just got to go there and do our job and pick up the three points however we do that.”
“All we can do is win our games and hopefully we won’t be far from doing something. We will be focused to do our own job and win as many games as we can. But you have to be able to handle it – that’s the pressure of the game. Never read your own press because somewhere along the line it bites you.”
“If I keep scoring goals and making an impact then it’s going to be hard for the manager to ignore my claims to get a start. But that’s the manager’s decision and there are two top class strikers in front of me in Holty [Grant Holt] and Chrissy Martin.”
“As everybody knows, he [McNamee] puts in terrific deliveries. We played him on the right to try and get at their full-back and he gives you something different than anybody else.”
“He’s got a terrific willingness to learn and after his two goals, his confidence will be sky high. He’s not long out of non-league football but Oli’s been terrific.”
“Blues could well be facing a bit of a backlash against a team who will now be even more fired up and who I think are certain to go on and win promotion this season,” said former Canary Spencer Prior ahead of tonight’s crucial encounter at Carrow Road.
“We might look to freshen things up to give lads an opportunity to come in and do equally as well as the other lads,” said Norwich boss Paul Lambert. “We’ll see.”
Millwall look a racing certainly for the play-offs at least and as many predicted, they are having an extremely strong second half of the season, so there is no shame in losing at the New Den.
