Norwich City boss Dean Smith believes that his side are trying to drag other teams into the relegation battle.
The Canaries are currently in 18th spot, but have played one more game than Watford and three more matches than Burnley below them.
A 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace saw them close the gap to Newcastle United (who have played a game less) to one point.
Post-game, boss Smith told BBC Sport: "Teemu [Pukki] had another couple of chances, we could have got a second and killed the game off.
"They had an awful lot of ball but the way we decided to go with two up front, we give a man up in midfield and the opposition will have the ball. All of their efforts were outside the box. We're a tough team to beat the moment.
"The players worked extremely hard. With two up front it gives us a goal threat, we saw that with the goal - a great set back from Adam [Idah]. We control where the ball goes.
"Unfortunately Palace found the solutions and gave us problems. We had to change the system. Fortunately they missed the penalty. I thought we deserved a draw in the end. The game is about fine margins. I felt it should have been our throw-in which led to their possession which led to their goal. Fine margins can decide the game. On another day he scores [the penalty] but today thankfully he didn't.
"We are trying to suck as many teams in [to the relegation battle] as we can. I like the character the players are showing and the steeliness to be hard to beat."
