Dean Smith has spoken about the importance of silencing the Newcastle United fans when his team travel to Newcastle for tomorrow's Premier League fixture.
The new Norwich City boss has admitted that his players may feel anxious because of the home crowd.
“Players can feel the anxiety from the supporters,” he said.
Smith then added.
“Any mistake or misplaced ball - there can be a deep breath within the stadium - so we have to go and force those mistakes. If we quiet the crowd down, it shows that our performance levels are there.
“We’re going to a team who have got a new manager in Eddie, who I’ve got so much respect for, and it’s going to be a tough place to go because they’ve got a real partisan crowd there and we have to quieten them down.
“Sticking to our principles is the main thing, to keep playing the way we have done with really good performance levels. Our physical stats have been excellent since I’ve been here so we know we’re a match for anyone fitness-wise.
“We’re looking forward to it. It’s a challenge, but it’s an opportunity.”
“We want to go there and be tough to beat first and foremost, making sure that we don’t give big chances away. They’ve got players who can create, but we’ve got an attacking flair and good footballers who can keep possession.
