Norwich captain Grant Holt has called on his team-mates to make Carrow Road a fortress if they want to stay up. Holt scored twice in Saturday's win over Newcastle to help Norwich earn their fourth home victory in the Premier League this season. City have also drawn two and lost two at Carrow Road during the current campaign and Holt insists Norwich must take as many points at home as possible as they bid to establish themselves in the top flight. "We've got to make this place a fortress - it doesn't matter who you are, anyone that comes here will know that they're in for a game," Holt told The Pink 'Un. "If we do that and keep churning out three points then we'll be all right. I thought it was a massive win after last week. "We knew we had to come out the blocks and we knew that we needed the three points. "We need to take as many points as we can at home and I thought we played really well."
