Norwich City midfielder Anis Ben Slimane says work towards their aim of finishing in a top-six spot in the Championship next season "starts now".
A run of just two wins in the past 12 games (D5 L5) has seen the Canaries' hopes of reaching the play-offs in this campaign drift away.
A 2-1 defeat at Burnley on Friday left Johannes Hoff Thorup's side nine points off sixth with only 12 to play for, meaning it is now almost mathematically impossible.
"We met a team that was better than us and hopefully we can learn from them for the next four games and take that with us to finish off the season really well to be ready for next season because our ambition is definitely to be in the top six," Slimane told BBC Radio Norfolk.
