“I’m not going to put the club in the trouble that it’s been in before,” said the City chief. “Because of those 17 lads that came in – and I don’t know whether they were any better than the 17 lads that were already here, but I can bet you anything you want, they didn’t give a jot about Norwich. So I’m not going down that type of road…”
“It’s brilliant to win and if you can do it with a bit of finesse – great,” said Lambert, clearly not one to get carried away. But if you can’t just win the game. I’ve been in the game long enough to know that you can play brilliant all you want, but unless you win the game it doesn’t really matter. The game’s all about winning. All about winning.”
“I put my head down and smashed it across goal. It’s the only real way I’d have scored so I was happy to see it creep into the corner,” said the Canary forward. “And I’ve been winding Michael Spillane up about getting his first goal for Norwich. It was nice to see him get on the scoresheet as well.” TOM HAYLETT reports.
“We know the challenge that is in front of us and that it will be a tough game,” said the Rovers chief. “Holt is a threat and Hoolahan is on fire at the moment and producing some very good displays.” TOM HAYLETT reports.
“The concern you have is that it will only happen for the first couple of games and they’ll go back into their old habits. But we’ve been here a fair while now and they’ve got better and better.” TOM HAYLETT reports.
“I thought it looked like it was going to be one of those days again where we just battered them but didn’t get a goal,” said goal hero Michael Spillane. “But in the end it came for us and we got four.” TOM HAYLETT reports.
“He [Gary Doherty] has given me a problem, of course. Everybody does when they play well – they give the manager a problem and the manager has to pick a team to win games.” TOM HAYLETT reports.
“I didn’t get much of an opportunity there, so maybe there is a little point to prove. But it’s not about myself – the main thing is that the team’s got to go there, put in a performance and get the three points.” TOM HAYLETT reports.
“They battled really well, especially as we were down to 10 men for most of it, and I felt they definitely deserved something out of the game,” said the City boss. “They never wilted and kept on going – which is really pleasing.” TOM HAYLETT reports.
“You’re a name, you’re a scalp and they’ll want to take us, not the other way around,” Paul Lambert said this morning. “But we’re not thinking ‘oh we’re only going to Gillingham where they only get 8,000’. TOM HAYLETT reports.
