Reaction | Long: We didn't play our best stuff

Norwich City goalkeeper George Long feels that that the team can be pleased with a point after the 1-1 draw against Stoke City.

Ante Crnac scored his first goal for the club with Million Manhoef equalising at the bet365 Stadium.

After the game, Long pointed out the impact the hosts' late first-half equaliser would go on to have.

"I'd say mixed (reaction), really. There's a bit of frustration there because we played really good football first half and then didn't quite continue that into the second maybe," he said.

"The goal coming late for them in the first half threw us off a little bit, especially after scoring. I thought we could have, should have, seen it out but, all in all, a point, we can't grumble too much, especially with another away game coming up. Hopefully, that'll be a chance to take all three points."

Despite controlling the first 45 minutes, Norwich couldn't maintain their hold on the contest after the break.

"We probably weren't playing our best stuff. I think the manager said as well we'd like to play better football in the second half and create more chances. Sometimes, that's how it goes, especially away from home. Momentum can swing, so it's not an awful result to get a point," Long added.

The 30-year-old was making his first league start of the season, in place of the injured Angus Gunn.

He also played 45 minutes of the win against Hull City before the international break.

"I enjoyed being back out there, it's nice to be starting and back involved. I didn't have loads to do, a couple of saves, plenty of crosses from set-plays.

"Some of them were tricky when they were swung under the bar for me and the lads to deal with but I thought defensively we dealt with them really well."
