Norwich finally look like they belong in the Premier League. In only two weeks, Dean Smith has instilled fighting spirit and a sense of mission in a group who have so often looked out of their depth in the top flight.
While former manager Daniel Farke wanted his side to illuminate the division with easy-on-the-eye football, calamity was usually around the corner. Smith is happy to emphasise the fundamentals — solid structure, hard graft and everyone knowing their jobs — and build from there.
He wants every opposition team at Carrow Road to depart knowing they've been in a battle.
