Olsson: 'We've learned a lot'
NORWICH Cityâs 5-0 win over Huddersfield Town in their last outing at Carrow Road was a âturning pointâ with regards to their home form, according to defender Martin Olsson.Neil Adamsâ men romped to victory against the Terriers, scoring five second half goals, but it was only their second win in seven on familiar turf.
Ahead of the Boxing Day visit of Millwall, Olsson says the players have adapted well in the face of some challenges in the Sky Bet Championship.
âWe try to play attacking football but we know that other teams want to sit back and try to counter-attack us. Weâve learned a lot from the beginning of the season to now, so weâre a different team,â he said at Wednesdayâs press conference.
âIf Millwall come and sit back â well thatâs what weâve been practising in training, trying to break teams down. If they do that, hopefully weâll be ready for it and hopefully we can get three points.
âEven before I think we were playing some good football, but we were just a bit unlucky. As a team now, we look a lot stronger and more solid. Weâve shown that in the last couple of weeks and in the last couple of games, so itâs looking good.
âI think that was a turning point maybe, the 5-0 game.â
Olsson was philosophical about the Canariesâ position in the table â seventh with Fridayâs game marking the halfway stage â but insists their minds are solely on Millwall and then the trip to Reading, which comes two days later.
âWeâre just going to focus on these two games and hopefully weâll get away with six points,â he added.
âWeâve been working hard in training and we feel a lot fitter now than we did at the beginning of the season, so it shouldnât be any problem.
âWeâre not too many points behind, and there are many games left. If we go on a good run now and other teams start losing points, then weâre right up there. Weâve just got to think about ourselves but weâre not far off.â
