Defender positive about Canaries' outlook after Cherries draw
MICHAEL Turner says there is âmore to comeâ from Norwich City as they enter the two-week international break after a busy start to their 2014-15 season.Following Saturdayâs 1-1 draw with Bournemouth at Carrow Road, the Canaries are in fourth place in the Sky Bet Championship after collecting ten points from their opening five games.
Turner was given the Anglian Home Improvement Man of the Match award against the Cherries but knows the team didnât reach the heights of recent weeks.
âWe are disappointed that we didnât win the game,â he told Norwich City TV.
âIn the second half we plugged away but it just wasnât to be. We didnât play as well as we know we can, but we didnât get beaten today and weâll take that forward.
âI think thereâs more to come from us as a team, I think we can play even better than we have done so far in the season and hopefully we can prove that.
âFor me personally, Iâm happy with the position weâre in as a team and with the stuff weâre doing on the pitch. I feel confident we can carry that through. If we perform the way we can, we know we can beat a lot of teams in this league and we can be in a position where we want to find ourselves.â
The strong defender says the fortnight without a match coming up represents an important period of rest ahead of another relentless batch of fixtures.
âWeâve got a bit of time off to rest and recuperate, and then weâll be training for a couple of days,â he told reporters.
âItâs been hectic, it certainly gives the boys a chance to get a rest and look back on whatâs happened so far.
âWe know when weâre back in that there are games galore coming up, so itâs important that we get that now and get ourselves ready for whatâs ahead for us.â
