Norwich City defender Danny Batth believes clean sheets are crucial for a team hoping to win games consistently in the "unforgiving" Championship.
The Canaries shut out an opponent for the first time in almost two months in beating QPR 1-0 at Carrow Road.
Hwang Ui-jo scored the winner as they moved up to 13th in the table, five points adrift of the play-off spots.
"It wasn't our most pretty performance but we'll build on that and take some confidence from it," said Batth.
"As a defender, that's what you judge yourself on, clean sheets.
