Norwich City's supporters could do with some advice from Jose Mourinho, Laura Kenny or Pink Floyd right now.

All members of that trio mastered the art of following a revered success with another huge achievement, a surprisingly rare thing in the world-class bracket.

Of course, the Carrow Road faithful are under no pressure to win consecutive Premier League titles, claim multiple Olympic gold medals or make an acclaimed follow-up to a seminal album, but they do face the unique task of trying to improve on their best work this weekend.

Their last outing consisted driving their team to derby success in a thunderous East Anglian atmosphere, with tifos unfurled and chants unceasing as their unbeaten record stretched to 15 years.

That's not where the fun stopped, however, and Canaries head coach David Wagner is expecting the same level of support when Bristol City travel to NR1 this afternoon.

"I think there will be more or less the same people in the stadium," he said at his pre-match press conference. "It makes no sense that they show the atmosphere because of the opponent, you should show the atmosphere because of the team you support and the stage of the season we are in.

"We are playing for something. Everyone should really be on it and excited like we are, and this is my hope. Hopefully this will be the case on Saturday and we can all get a result that satisfies us.

"The atmosphere two weeks ago was outstanding, something I haven't been involved in often in my managerial career.

"Now when there are fewer games and you are really playing for something, it absolutely makes sense to do what we did in the last home game, everyone in the stadium; in the stands and on the grass.

"I'm excited to see, to hear, to feel the emotion, the atmosphere, because everyone has seen what kind of impact this has on the game and the players. This is exactly what we need now in the next home games."

Wagner and his players will be buoyed by a hugely positive fitness bulletin, with Jacob Sorensen available again after recovering from a hamstring injury and club captain Grant Hanley close to completing his personal fitness programme.

Star man Jonathan Rowe is also expected to feature against the Robins, even if the clash comes too soon for him to start.

"No new issues," Wagner said. "As planned, Lungi is back training since Tuesday. He is ready and fit, will be involved in the matchday squad if he stays healthy.

"There is a high possibility that Grant is back next Tuesday to prepare for the Swansea game. We'll have to see how he looks when he joins the group again.

"No problems, no issues (for Rowe). He had a good week this week, and he will be involved again. Hopefully we can give him some extended minutes. This is something I think I have to have a conversation with the medical department about.

"He is not ready to start at the moment, he was out for nearly three months. But we've seen what an impact he can have, and it's great to have him back.

"With another week of training next week, [a start] is coming closer and closer."

Even despite the positive injury news, Norwich won't have it easy against Liam Manning's side. The visitors are one of the Championship's form teams at present, and Wagner's well aware of the threat they pose.

"Everybody knows that Bristol are the in-form team in the last five games," he continued. "I really like what I've seen of them, even if I'm not surprised. It's a very energetic team, they work hard, good distances.

"I would not be surprised if next season they really are in the mix for the play-off places. They have created something that is interesting, and this is what they've shown in recent weeks.

"We will face a proper challenge. Look at the big names they have beaten this season already, in the FA Cup as well. No one should look at the table and think 'oh, come on, this is easy'.

"They can put on top performances, and they've shown this. They are on a good run, they are very energetic, quick, can play in pockets, in behind or in wide areas. They can play three at the back or four at the back, so they are very adaptable.

"This is a team that you have to have an eye on for next season, I'm 100% sure. But at the end of the day, whoever we face the aim is totally clear. We'd like to be successful, and for this we will invest everything and make sure that we are on fire."
