Andrew Surman thinks new-look midfield is settling well

Andrew Surman signed from Wolverhampton Wanderers in June

Norwich City's made-over midfield is bedding in well, according to one of the Canaries' most recent recruits.

Andrew Surman was one of three midfield summer signings when he arrived from Wolverhampton Wanderers in June - and he admits they have started to click.

"Whoever plays in there has got a good understanding," Surman told BBC Radio Norfolk. "The manager has explained everyone's roles.

"Teams will try and stop us playing, but we'll play how we want to."

Manager Paul Lambert's preferred diamond midfield, with Wes Hoolahan playing behind the strikers, was key to last season's League One title success.

It also worked to great effect in Saturday's last-gasp 1-0 Championship win at Scunthorpe on Saturday - and Surman admits that everyone played their part.

"I thought Andrew Crofts was brilliant. He broke up a lot of play and was really really good in there.

"Wes was always getting on the ball and creating things, Korey Smith got up and down and I tried to work as hard as I could as well.

"I think we've got a good understanding and any way we can contribute to the win we will."

Having been handed the responsibility of taking most of City's set-pieces, Surman says he has got plenty to work with from dead balls.

"If you've got a goal scorer like Grant Holt, and Chris Martin, you know if you put it in the right area more times than not they're going to get on the end of it.

"Probably more times than not they're going to score.

"I'm enjoying it," he added. "It's a responsibility that you get the delivery right but, in this league, they can win you games.

"If we can get one goal from a set-piece and win 1-0 then we will."
