CITY boss Glenn Roeder says City have set the standard to which they need to play in their win over Wolves, and must put in a repeat performance against Doncaster Rovers when they meet at Carrow Road tomorrow (3pm).

After Norwich's 5-2 victory over then league leaders Wolves on Tuesday, the Canaries manager told First News the visitors would be ready to give as good as they got.

"There's no such thing as a walkover in football and they are certainly not one of those," Roeder commented. "Doncaster will not want to fall further behind and we have got to meet them head on, and make sure they don't string passes together and keep us away from the ball. The only game that counts is Doncaster, we know it's going to be a tough game.

"We have got to lift our game again against Doncaster, the benchmark has been set by the game the other night. That is not the first time we could have scored five goals, we've really let teams off the hook badly and let ourselves down by not taking brilliant chances and winning matches. It all came together the other night and there were probably three or four other golden opportunities which we didn't take."

As the Canaries prepare to play host to Doncaster, the City boss added he wanted to witness celebrations similar to those of Tuesday evening. He said: "It was a hell of a performance against Wolves but I want to be saying that after tomorrow's game, that this was also a hell of performance and we've picked up another three points against a team that pass the ball for fun.

"I know it seems strange when they're near the bottom of the table but it's a fact that they've been unlucky at St Andrew's this year, and they've taken Reading right to the wire. We need to be very decisive with passing and create opportunities in the manner that we did on Tuesday night. We've had two cracking games against teams that have arrived at Carrow Road at the top of the league, although we didn't put Birmingham away for a defeat, we were by far the better team and we should have beaten them."

He continued: "There was no fluke about the other night, even if one or two of the goals were questioned, don't anyone dare say to me that we were lucky because we've not had the breaks at all. We've had so many things go against us, but life doesn't stand still, it's a revolving door. It's forever turning and hopefully fortune will start to favour us now over a long period of time."

Lee Croft scored the fifth goal in the 74th minute during City's match with Wolves and Roeder told press he was delighted with Croft's efforts so far this season, adding: "Croft scoring that goal pleased me greatly, but what pleased me the most was how last year, he would not have followed in Leroy's shot. He would have stood out admiring what would have been a simple pass instead of following in the shot.

"I was really pleased because it's nice when you work with a player at the training ground and you see it come into fruition in matches, there's lots of things that we've worked with him on in training and we've seen them in games. That's not just coincedence, we make sure Crofty does extra crossing every single day. He had a bad habit of stabbing at the ball with no follow through, and his crossing has improved immensely which goes to prove that practise makes better.

"I couldn't be more pleased with Lee Croft at the moment, his fitness levels have improved and he's coping with 90 minutes now. He's highly respected in the dressing room and it's nice when good people do well, it's not usually the good people that do."
