Norwich City let themselves down in draw, says Fox

Fox scored his first Norwich goal against Millwall

Norwich midfielder David Fox admits his side only have themselves to blame after conceding a late equaliser in a 1-1 draw at Millwall on Tuesday.

The 26-year-old's 75th minute volley was cancelled out by John Marquis' last-gasp strike at the New Den.

"It's a very bitter pill to swallow," Fox told BBC Radio Norfolk.

"When you're 1-0 up in stoppage time you expect to get three points. We've let ourselves down massively there; it would have been a big three points."

The Canaries, who sit fifth in the Championship table, grabbed their own stoppage time goal to earn a 2-2 draw at home to Burnley on Saturday.

Before the game started I would have snatched your hand off for a draw, but getting so close to the win makes the draw a bitter pill to swallow

"It feels like a defeat just like Saturday felt like a win," said Fox, whose strike against the Lions was his first for Norwich since joining from Colchester in the summer.

"If we had taken away the two last minute goals, we'd have been beaten on Saturday but won here and we'd have been a point better off.

"It's very disappointing but we've seen both sides of it now and we've got to learn from it."

Since arriving from the U's, Fox has seen limited first-team action, but a series of injuries and suspensions in recent weeks enabled him to pick up his third league start of the campaign against Millwall.

And fellow midfielder Matt Gill, whose long-range throw set up Fox's goal, made his first City appearance since returning from a loan spell at Peterborough United.

"When you do come on, you've got to make an impression and that's what he did and with my goal that's what I've done," Fox continued.

"When you get these opportunities you've got to take them and I think you've just got to go into it thinking that it's the most important game of your life.

"That's what I've done and whether or not I stay in the team I don't know.

"But if I don't at least I know that I've given it everything and put in a shift for the boys and I'll have to wait for my next chance."
