Sam Byram was happy to be back in action for Norwich City in yesterday's defeat at Crystal Palace.
The fullback made his first start since February 2020 in Tuesday's 3-0 loss at Crystal Palace, which made it five defeats in a row for the Canaries.
A mixture of illness and injuries meant boss Dean Smith was without 10 first-teamers, which saw the former Leeds star forced into action from the off having only fully recovered this month from a hamstring issue that had plagued him for the best part of two years.
“I feel good. I've been waiting for this for a long time," Byram said during his broadcast interviews at Selhurst Park.
“It's hard to think about after that performance. It's something that probably won't sink in for a while until we've put this right."
He added: "We said before the game we needed to be hard to play against – we've done the opposite to be honest.
"As a team we need to be stronger all over the pitch. It's about the basics. The team haven't done that.
"We've created good chances but a lot of them came when we were 3-0 down. The next goal might have changed things. In the second half we were better, but when Palace are 3-0 up they took their foot off the gas."
