Norwich Defender Doyle: Plymouth Victory “Just What We Needed”

Norwich City defender Callum Doyle stated that the 6-1 triumph over Plymouth served as the ideal conclusion to a streak of seven matches without a victory. The Canaries decisively defeated Argyle at Carrow Road, ascending to ninth place in the Championship standings on Tuesday evening. Speaking to BBC Radio Norfolk, Doyle remarked, “The fans were buzzing with that one, as is the team as well.” He added that the result was “just what we needed going into the next few games with high confidence now.” Doyle further commented on the team’s performance, stating, “We had loads of chances – that’s what we said in the dressing room at half-time. But it was good coming out second half, putting them away and putting the game to bed.” Plymouth, the visiting side, managed to score a goal, narrowing the score to 2-1 just prior to half-time, following Norwich’s loss of possession in their own territory. However, Doyle acknowledged that their playing style inherently carries a risk of such errors occurring occasionally, but he expressed confidence that the team recovered effectively to secure the victory. The Manchester City loanee elaborated, “With how we play, there is always going to be a risk of losing the ball on the edge of our box.” He continued, “But I think after that goal, we sorted it out. We sussed out their press really well and came out in the second half and showed that. It’s risky business but it paid off.” Doyle also expressed his hope that this decisive victory would convey a strong message to other teams in the Championship. Norwich is scheduled to host Luton Town at Carrow Road on Saturday. According to Doyle, “I think other teams are going to look at that score now and for us, it’s that confidence boost going into next week against Luton, which is really good.”
