Dean Smith Manager
Dean Smith will take charge of his second game as Norwich City head coach when Wolverhampton Wanderers travel to Carrow Road on Saturday. Speaking Smith said there is a “growing belief” among the club that they will be able to move out of the relegation zone.
Dean Smith said: “There is a growing belief in the group, but we know, under myself, it is only one game and one result. We know we have got a tough task ahead of us with the start that we have had but if the attitude is anything to go by then we have got a really good chance [of survival].”
Smith has already been in the dugout opposite Wolves boss Bruno Lage this season, where a late comeback sealed a 3-2 victory against Villa at Villa Park, so he knows all too well that their visitors will not make it easy for them.
Dean Smith said: “It is back-to-back wins in the Premier League [for Norwich], which is very hard to come by but we are playing against a very good team now in Wolves, who are in good form and have won five of their last seven games. Bruno [Lage] has gone in there and adapted their style and it will be a tough game for us, but we are at home again and if the second half atmosphere [against Southampton] is anything to go by, if we can get supporters behind us, then it will be a tough place to come.”
