WORTHINGTON'S VIEW
|
Norwich boss Nigel Worthington hailed his side for going down fighting after their 4-0 defeat at Chelsea.
Worthington said: "We came in at half-time wondering how we were 3-0 down as we'd had so much possession.
"But I've got to give my lads credit because they stuck to their task, kept working and passed the ball very well.
"We showed great character and I'm pleased because at 3-0 the heads can go down and you can finish up with a hammering, but that didn't happen."
Worthington was quick to praise Chelsea for their display and admitted the Canaries will be in a relegation scrap for the rest of the season.
He added: "We're in the big league against the big boys and it's not easy. They've got a quality side all round and when you see their bench you have to scratch your head.
"We're not going to be too far away from those bottom three places all season - most of the teams who come up have had that in the last few years and we're not different.
"It'll be a fight but we've got that at our club and we'll keep going until the last whistle to try and maintain our Premiership status."
