Andy Cook reviewed his side's recent impressive run of form in the league and spoke to the local media about what he had learnt from Johannes Hoff Thorup and the wider coaching staff at the club.
When asked about the reasons behind recent success, he said: "The clean sheets from Hope (Strauss) and the backline are the answer.
"In between the break we wanted to make sure we were focusing on us and what we do every day. We're in three evenings a week and a matchday, so we have a lot of time together.
"We had a successful period just before Christmas, we went far in all of the cup competitions which meant we were playing every single weekend from July.
"The players also all work full-time jobs or college through the week too, so that Christmas break came at a nice point.
"Liv Cook is a player before Christmas that didn't get a lot of minutes but she's an example that sometimes you have to wait. She took her opportunity and she's been fantastic."
With only one team earning promotion each season, Cook explained how fine the margins were in Division One South East.
"The room for error is so small. It's still going to be tough but if they (Real Bedford) drop points, it's down to them.
"With the backing that they have from the ownership, they are punching above their own weight.
"You look at the way that we work in the first six months, if we had continued that, the league table would look differently.
"We need to make sure that we compete better in certain areas.
"The pressure is a privilege, you work for Norwich City, you want to push yourselves to be the best you can.
"We have to make sure we alleviate the pressure from the players, though, and they just need to keep working.
"It's the reaction that counts; if they do that, more times than enough they will be on the end of a positive note in games like the one we have coming up this weekend.
"There's a lot of teams who want to upset Norwich City, because we are the biggest name in this league and a big club in this area.
"We've got the pressure that teams want to beat us, I had that at Newcastle United and Nottingham Forrest. For me, it's not a problem; it's part of the game."
With tickets now on sale for City's Carrow Road clash against QPR, Cook was asked about the support for his side's fixtures.
"There's a lot of teams in Tier 2 and 3 that don't get the same number of fans to watch as we do, even at The Nest.
"Against Chatham, it actually felt like we were at home, we had so many fans travel on the coaches; they were fantastic.
"When you hear the noise, it feels like these fans want us to do well.
"The fans have been great, I've loved working in front of them this season."
On his objectives at the start of the 2024/25 campaign, Cook said: "My objective was to get us promoted, which although possible, is now out of our hands.
"One other thing that I wanted to achieve was to make sure the staff enjoyed coming in and working, because as well as the players, they have jobs during the day.
"I just want them to come in and look forward to making this club even better than it already is."
On the topic of Johannes Hoff Thorup and the wider staff at the club, Cook said: "Having them has got to be the biggest credit I can give to Norwich City.
"I've worked at several football clubs but Norwich City is by far the most open.
"I was sat watching the players training this morning, I sit in on their team meetings.
"The way that the players and staff work together at this club is fantastic, the openness from Ben Knapper, Dean Rastrick, Joe Shulberg, Alan Nielson and all the rest of them has been great."
