'The goal came a little bit too late'

Norwich City boss Johannes Hoff Thorup spoke to BBC Radio Norfolk after their 2-1 defeat at Bristol City.

"We are in a difficult place in the moment and it takes a lot from us to get something out of the good stuff that we do, and we get punished really hard on the one or two mistakes we made in the game.

"The first passing mistake we made in the final third and they punished us – a brilliant finish but a situation we should deal with better.

"Our response to that was really, really good – to create one or two big, big chances that we normally score. But after they scored the second we were a little bit all over the place and frustration was about to take over.

"It was a good time for half-time and we made an okay plan for the second half but mostly praise for the players for not letting frustration take over.

"The goal came a little bit too late but we gave it a push, we tried – even though the circumstances were not in our favour.

"It's not the same mood as after the game on Tuesday [the 3-2 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday]. All of us were completely down and frustrated.

"I took some time to talk to the players, especially the ones who need the team, and the feeling that were in there were different because we were close to 3.0 expected goals away from home, we have 20 shots on goal and in the second half we missed three big chances.

"If we can consistently can deliver that then simple logic tells me it will change at some point."
