Under-23s coach David Wright was disappointed in his side’s second half performance as Norwich City fell to a 1-0 home defeat to Newcastle United.
Owen Bailey scored the only goal of the game for the Magpies in the final seconds of the match, but it was a game that opened up in terms of chances in the second half after Norwich had done well to control proceedings in the opening 45 minutes.
“We could have gone in 3-0 up in the first half but we missed some chances,” said Wright. “At half-time we spoke about continuing doing what we were doing and just sharpening up a few bits and pieces where we felt we could hurt them in possession and then out of possession to stop the transition, because we knew their front four could get them up the pitch very quickly.
