Tomkins explains Norwich problems

James Tomkins has given a pretty  good explanation of the Irons performance against yesterday reminding fans that following the Manchester City epic, the team  had played 120 minutes in  hard fought Capital One Cup clash at Leicester.

The big defender was again very impressing yesterday and said:  “They put us under a lot of pressure towards the end of the second half.

He told www.whufc.com: “They started a lot brighter than us too and got their goals, so we’re quite happy to come away with a point even though we obviously wanted three points at the start of the game.

“A lot of us were quite heavy-legged having played extra time in the game in midweek. That took it’s toll on us and we didn’t start the game well. The crowd got behind us and things got easier for us.

“We put pressure on them in the second part of the first half and wanted to go out in the second half as we ended the first. I think we did that but didn’t get the goal.

“They’ve then scored with a great finish from Redmond and we showed a lot of team spirit to come back with a last-minute goal.”
