Ex-Norwich City manager Martin O'Neill has backed current boss Dean Smith to guide them to promotion this season.
O'Neill had two spells as a player for the Canaries in the 1980s and a short spell as manager in 1995.
Speaking before Saturday's Championship defeat by Blackburn, O'Neill drew parallels between himself and Smith - in that they took over at tough times.
"It looks as if things are turning again and promotion, which is what fans want, is within their grasp," he said.
The Canaries are fifth in the Championship table following relegation last term, but have nine points to make up on second-placed Sheffield United if they are to achieve automatic promotion and avoid the play-offs.
