Attitude earns results - Norwich City captain Holt
by Adam D Tue 15 Feb 2011, 3:18 pm
Norwich City captain Grant Holt says the team's attitude is what earns them so many late results.
The 29-year-old scored the winner in the fourth minute of stoppage time in the 2-1 win over Reading.
And the Canaries have now claimed points in the dying minutes in each of their last three home games.
"We're fit and strong, but we've got a team that wants to score goals, we play with a tempo and a purpose - we want to win games," he told BBC Radio Norfolk.
"You saw last week against Burnley, we never go to away grounds and sit-in, too many draws are no good, you need to win games," he added.
City had similar comebacks against Cardiff and Millwall, with Russell Martin scoring a 90th minute goal to earn a draw against the Welsh side and Henri Lansbury netting a last-kick winner against the Lions.
Holt's dramatic winner against Reading sealed a move that begun when chief executive David McNally hastily threw a loose ball back from the director's box for a Norwich throw-in.
Holt says it showed that the urgency for victory goes beyond the first-team squad.
"It's passion, you can see that from Michael Foulger [deputy chairman] putting his £2m in this week, as well as Delia [Smith] and how long they've supported the club.
"When you see that you can see the passion is from top-to-bottom, we've got a squad and a board who want to achieve things."

what that article fails to point out holts goal saturday was also norwich's 8th last minute goal of the season.
But it doesn't matter when you win as long as you do!
A few years ago under Roeder being 1-0 down heads would drop with 45 minutes to go let alone a minute or so. Lambert really has created a big change here since being here.
