(The Guardian) Dean Smith says Norwich have quality to survive
Norwich and Dean Smith have gone nice and early with today’s press conference, too: in fact he was speaking to bleary-eyed journalists at 9am. He believes Norwich have the quality in the squad to avoid relegation from the Premier League.
“I must say I’ve been really pleased, myself and (assistant) Craig Shakespeare with the quality, the facilities, the people at the training ground but then the players as well,” Smith said. “The attitude in training yesterday was excellent and the quality hasn’t disappointed for sure.
“The reason I’m in this seat obviously is because somebody lost their job because results weren’t happening and the performances weren’t getting results,” Smith added, referring to Daniel Farke. “We all know this is a tough league to get points in but from what we’ve seen early doors on the training ground, there is enough quality to get enough points. Players just need to have that belief. I’m fortunate in that not many managers get to walk into a football club on the back of a win but this is what we’ve done. We beat Brentford in Daniel’s last game and now we need to build on that.”
