Will Mannion reflects on Norwich City defeat

'

Will Mannion spoke to CharltonTV after the Addicks fell to a narrow defeat to Norwich City on Saturday afternoon.

"It is a disappointing result, I thought we were good in spells in the game. I thought we defended well, it was just that final thing with putting the ball in the goal, but we are disappointed to not take anything away," Mannion said.

"We know the level that [Norwich] are at, we know how their form has been in the last couple of months, so we knew it was going to be a tough game," he added. 

"I thought we defended brilliantly for a lot of the game, they were sharp on the counter which we knew."

"The goal was disappointing, especially with a shot from outside the box, it kills the momentum, I thought we started the game well, going behind it is always difficult."

"We have to remember we are in a good position, we are trying to focus on ourselves, we have had some good performances the last couple of weeks so we are trying to take that into the rest of the season."

The international break means that the Addicks return to The Valley next Friday.

"We can recharge and turn our focus on next Friday. We are focussing on ourselves.

"The goalkeeping dynamic has been great, I have just had to stay ready and be patient."

It's a fantastic group, what we did last season was amazing. The Valley is a great place to play when it is rocking."

The Addicks return to action on Friday, April 3rd when they host Bristol City at The Valley (KO 3pm GMT). Get your tickets now!
