NORWICH City assistant manager Lee Clark believes that his side can get a positive result against Bristol City this weekend and use a win as a springboard to achieve promotion.


Despite drafting on almost an entire new playing staff and being able to impose his own ideas on the team from the start of the season Glenn Roeder's team sit in 21st place and the manager has come under increasing supporter pressure to improve results to avoid Norwich having to fight a relegation battle for the second season in sucession.

Even though his side side in such a lowly position, Clark, who played under Roeder at Newcastle believes his side will improve and with a good result this weekend will soon start climbing the Championship table.

He told teamtalk.com: "The position we're in is not somewhere we wanted to be at this stage.

"But generally I think we're delighted that the squad and the players we've got now is far superior to the team we inherited last November.

Norwich's last game was against Paul Jewell's Derby County and despite losing to a sider with so little confidence in their team after a horrendous run of defeats, Clark believes his team are certainly on the right track,

"The fans may be a bit anxious that they haven't had much to cheer about over the last few years but if the players go into games with fear then we have no chance of winning.

"There is plenty of work going on at the training ground and we will put it right."
