Wake-up call for Grant

Peter Grant admits his Norwich City players received a wake-up call during the 5-0 defeat at Stoke City.

Since being appointed as Canaries boss earlier this month, Grant had presided over Championship wins over high-flying Birmingham City and Cardiff City.

But the euphoria was ended at The Britannia Stadium on Saturday, with Grant feeling particular sympathy for the travelling support.

"The players let themselves down and we are all desperately disappointed, especially for the fans who came up here expecting us to put on a show," said Grant.

"I want us to be a team who are on the front foot at all times, but we committed far too many mistakes and made too many wrong choices, particularly in the first half.

"To say this was a wake-up call would be an understatement."

Stoke boss Tony Pulis was delighted with the effort put in by his players as goals from Lee Hendrie, Ricardo Fuller, Danny Higginbotham, Luke Chadwick and Darel Russell secured the emphatic success.

Pulis said: "The way they are all working for each other and the quality we now have shows we are moving quite quickly in the right direction.

"There was a lot of running off the ball out there which may have gone unnoticed by many people, but it certainly didn't go unnoticed by me."

[Mighty T.A.L.]

Norwich City fear Lee Croft will be sidelined for six weeks with an ankle injury.

The winger was hurt 15 minutes from the end of The Canaries' 5-0 defeat at Stoke City on Saturday.
