Saturday's 2-1 defeat was Martin's first since joining Norwich

Norwich City defender Russell Martin warned they cannot afford a dip in form after suffering their first defeat since October against Millwall.

The Canaries are two points clear of Leeds at the top of League One and six ahead of third-placed Charlton.

Martin, 24, told BBC Radio Norfolk: "Teams talk about a wobbly patch, but we can't have one, we can't afford one.

"The important thing is, once you lose a game, to win the next one and try not to lose two back-to-back."

As City's eight-game winning streak came to an end Leeds and Charlton both drew on their travels.

Martin added: "There's a lot of games to come before the end of the season and people think we're going to run away with it.

"It doesn't work out like that, Swindon are in great form at the minute and teams are going to have stumbling blocks."
