NATHAN Redmond is expecting a fervent atmosphere at Carrow Road on Tuesday night when Norwich City welcome Leeds United.The 20-year-old winger is looking forward to a āgreat opportunityā for the Canaries, who are seeking to end a run of three matches without a win.
āI think thatās the beauty of the Championship, thereās always another game around the corner,ā said the England Under-21 regular.
āThere are a lot of games and we donāt really have time to dwell on recent ones that weāve come across. Weāve another one now and itās a great opportunity for us.

āOf course the atmosphere will be intense, itās a Tuesday night game and Iām sure it will be a packed out Carrow Road. Itās set to be a really good match and I think that most of the lads, including myself, are excited for it.ā
Redmond has started in every league match for City so far this season and has generally been happy with his form, even though heās keen to get on the scoresheet sometime soon.
āI feel like Iāve done quite well, getting assists. Iām a little bit disappointed that I havenāt scored yet but it can happen whenever,ā he added during his press conference at Colney.
āIām always working hard on the training pitch and trying to rectify what Iām doing wrong. As the seasonās gone on, I feel like Iāve grown into games a bit more.
āIām thankful to the gaffer for playing me on my strongest side, and Iām just going to continue to try and develop, learn and hopefully help the team to win the league this year.ā

Neil Adams' team havenāt scored a first half goal since Bournemouth were the visitors on August 30, yet Redmond is of the opinion that if they can manage to nudge ahead of the opposition, then victories will follow.
āWe just need to be on the front foot a lot quicker. Against Fulham for the first ten, 15 minutes we were doing that ā I was putting ball into the box, Wes (Hoolahan) was getting onto the ball, Grabbs (Lewis Grabban) was getting past people and Cammy (Cameron Jerome) was making himself a physical presence,ā he commented.
āOne thing we didnāt do in that half was move the ball quickly enough. If we do that, weāll be getting up the pitch quicker, weāll be creating more chances and weāll be putting them under pressure.
āWe havenāt scored a goal in the first half for a long time, and thatās one of the things that needs to be rectified. Itās only going to take one little thing to spark that in a game, and I think once we do that weāll be back rolling and on a winning run.ā
