Robert Snodgrass believes fitness key when Norwich face Southampton

Robert Snodgrass believes extra fitness could give Norwich a vital edge when they entertain Southampton this weekend.

Ruthless

Despite their industry, Norwich head into Saturday's clash having recorded just one victory in their last 11 Premier League games - and that courtesy of a stoppage-time winner from Grant Holt to beat Everton. Snodgrass accepts the team have to be "more ruthless" if they are to avoid being dragged into a battle for survival, currently with a safety net of eight points. "We have put in some good performances, but just not scored enough goals and so need to be more clinical, if we can do that on Saturday then we will get three points," said Snodgrass, who has weighed in with five goals. "As a winger, you try to put as many crosses in as you can. "It is simple, we just have to put the ball in the back of the net, which is why the gaffer has said we need to be more ruthless. "Maybe it is just about that little bit of magic in front of goal, whatever it is, we need to add that to our game."
