Kellen Fisher has backed struggling Norwich City to rediscover their mojo after a week of tough knocks culminating in a third successive defeat to Bristol City. 

Norwich are hit by a spate of first-team injuries that has asked real questions of their squad depth and pushed players to the limit. 

Johannes Hoff Thorup has been left searching for solutions, but performances and results have deteriorated after a positive end to the block of matches prior to the October international break. 

That momentum has been punctured significantly over the last three matches, but Fisher is confident City can wrestle it back once injured bodies return after the pause for internationals over the next fortnight. 

"It's been a hard week coming off the two losses. It's been difficult, but I think the internationals have come at a good time to take a week off and reset," Fisher said. 

"Everyone said that we were flying before the last international break. It's a long old season and there are going to be ups and downs. It's not going to be perfect throughout. We'll keep working hard and go again after the break. 

"Things can turn so quick in the Championship. Hopefully, after the international break, we can start on a positive note and get a couple of wins together.

"We had the players there to compete, but we didn't do that today. The players on the pitch, including me, have to be better."

Fisher diagnosed City's work on the ball as the primary issue on an afternoon that saw them struggle to create any chances of note in another disappointing performance in a week of defeats. 

"On the ball wasn't great. We lacked that bit of bite and the hard yards. That starts from us playing out and being better on the ball," the young right-back said."At home, we kill teams when we've got the ball but we weren't that good today. 

"I thought we started okay, but it's just when they get that goal. When a negative comes about, it's hard for us to react. I don't know if that's because we don't have as many leaders on the pitch, but I'm not sure."
