Norwich defender Michael Turner admits the players decided to block out the home fans’ frustration at half-time in the Swansea game.
The Carrow Road faithful vented their anger at boss Chris Hughton after the Canaries nearly went two goals down before the interval, but Turner says the players did not pay any attention to the “sort it out” chants.
“We could sense the fans’ frustration but we were saying to each other, ‘Don’t listen to the crowd, stick to the game plan and we will be fine’,” Turner said.
Winger Elliott Bennett, who crossed for Robert Snodgrass’ goal and then set up Turner for the second, paid tribute to the side’s unshakeable belief – even when things appear to be going wrong.
“We always believe in every game and we will try to pick up points wherever we go and whoever we face.”
The former Brighton star admitted he did not know if a point at home would be good enough to keep the Canaries up at the end of the Premier League season.
“I don’t have a clue how many points we will need,” he added. “This league is so weird.
“Wigan have games in hand on us and everyone knows what they are like. They are notorious for getting out of trouble.
“We have the points on the board so if we take care of our own business we won’t be relying on anyone else.”
