Standards and hard work in training are key to Norwich City eradicating the costly individual errors from their game, according to Andrew Omobamidele.

The Canaries made countless errors in possession that put them under constant pressure throughout Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Bristol City. 

No Championship team has made more errors leading to shots than City this season - with a costly turnover of possession from Kieran Dowell on halfway and a mistake from Angus Gunn punished by Mark Sykes as he scored the decisive goal at Ashton Gate. 

City boss David Wagner was left bemoaning a lack of care in possession post-match. Omobamidele shares those concerns and accepts the players' need to accept responsibility for the flurry of individual errors. 

“I don’t think there is a solid answer as to why we're making mistakes," Omobamidele said. "It could be a number of things in football – it could be a confidence thing.

“We need to hit the reset button. It all comes down to training and standards. You need to train hard for the whole week hard, and then the match will be the easier part. We need to get back to the standards that we know we can hit.  

“The boys are buying into what the boss wants. At the moment, us as players need to hold our hands up and take responsibility for some of the mistakes and errors we are making leading to goals. 

"I have full faith in our players. If you look at all of our squad, our midfield, our attackers, it is probably the best squad in the Championship on paper. We just need to get it right.

"As you’ve seen with the last two away games, we scored eight goals and everyone has seen the quality of the boys. We just need to get back on that level.” 

Those individual errors have been littered throughout Norwich's performances consistently all season. Saturday's defeat has left them four points behind the play-off places.

At present, it does feel like City are the victims of their own downfall, and Omobamidele feels they need to scrutinise the frequency of mistakes leading to goals. 

“For me personally, I’m a centre back so I feel like every goal we concede frustrates me. Sometimes it is a comedy of errors, sometimes it is just one  – you can always find out the reason why and fix it. It’s just a case of that," he reflected.

"I have full faith in the boys. We need to get our concentration back and make sure we’re fully focused on Tuesday.”
