"How can I not be excited?": Norwich Boss Wagner looks forward to Valentines visit from Hull
City will look to bounce back from a 1 - 0 defeat to Bristol City at the weekend
Last updated 14th Feb 2023
Norwich City boss David Wagner says he's 'excited' for tonight's visit of Hull City and has reviewed his squad after the weekend's defeat to Bristol City.
The Canaries lost 1 - 0 at Ashton Gate after failing to answer a Mark Sykes goal in the first half.
Speaking to the media ahead of tonight's game, Wagner said: "It still doesn't feel good, we missed a chance to collect some points. But, it's done, over, we've spoken about it and analysed it."
"In our ball possession, we were not good enough, gave too many easy turnovers away. That can't happen tomorrow, that's one of Hull's strengths.
"We need to be clearer in our head, calmer, have more trust in ourselves. Performance shouldn't be influenced by when you score or concede.
"Our range of performance is too big. It's up to me and my backroom staff to work on this. This group gets affected by positive results and by negative moments. I understand it but the range is too big."
"Every game is a new chance. I'm aware of the home record even if I said leave the past in the past but we do want to turn it around. We need to create moments offensively to bring the crowd with us."
Wagner will be spending the evening of Valentines Day at work, but told jounalists: "How can I not be excited?"
"A big crowd at Carrow Road, on a Tuesday night, we need to make our opponents uncomfortable.
"There is a clear idea that we're all committed to and it's up to us to make sure they also understand it. The intensity in ball possession against Bristol was not what it should be."
