NEIL Lennon got a glimpse of the task at hand at Wanderers as he left Carrow Road knowing his side had been “second best.”
The desperately disappointed Whites boss saw Cameron Jerome score twice to ensure his side remained in the bottom three over the weekend.
Chung-Yong Lee scored a consolation four minutes from time but the Northern Irishman was under no illusion that his side had deserved nothing.
“We were second best. Norwich deserved to win the game,” he said.
“We had a spell about 10 minutes towards the end but it was nowhere near enough. The better team won.
“We didn’t do anything the way we planned things. Our set piece delivery was atrocious.
“We lacked a bit of legs in midfield, a bit of physicality, and our two centre halves struggled against their strikers.
“Going forward we looked okay, Max (Clayton) should have scored. But there wasn’t enough, we didn’t work their keeper anything like enough.
“That’s the benchmark and that’s where we strive to be, where Norwich are.”
