NORWICH City are ready to start again when they resume their Sky Bet Championship campaign at home to Leeds United on Saturday (3pm), according to Cameron Jerome.

The Canaries endured a torrid time of things last time out, sliding to a emphatic 5-0 defeat at Brighton & Hove Albion less then seven days ago.

Speaking to the media at Colney Training Centre on Friday, Jerome said: "We've had a discussion and put the game to bed now so we can focus on Saturday and trying to get a positive result.

"It's never nice losing any game of football. Everyone was gutted to lose to a promotion rival in that manner. The performance wasn't good enough and we fully accept that.

"After the game the manager did a debrief and asked us for our thoughts on it, as he always does. From there, it's done, like every game is - win or lose.

"We've had a full week of training. That's given us a spring in our step and we're ready to go again."

The frontman also emphasised a need for collective calm, amid the fallout of such a heavy defeat.

"It's not alarm bells and panic stations all of a sudden, he added.

"Judge us where we are in May, not now. We're more than capable of putting a run together, it's just about rolling your sleeves up and having that hunger and desire.

"If you don't have that as a team collectively, you'll come up short. We're well aware of the task ahead because the Championship is vigorous; it's a marathon, not a sprint.

"It's about where we are in May. We're just focusing on picking up points as soon as possible."
