Norwich City head coach Johannes Hoff Thorup is content for his team to be "a little bit boring" at times if it leads to the results they want next season.
The Dane was appointed at the end of May on a three-year contract following the departure of predecessor David Wagner in the wake of the Canaries' defeat by Leeds United in the Championship play-offs.
Wagner's tactical approach was criticised by some supporters during a disappointing run of only one win in nine league games from mid-September to early November last season.
But Thorup told a fans' forum: "If we look at some of the better teams in the world right now there are still these moments in the game where it can be a little bit boring to watch.
