Norwich claimed a first clean sheet and away point of the season in their 0-0 draw at Bournemouth.
The Canaries were thumped 5-1 by Aston Villa before the international break and soundly beaten by Burnley and Crystal Palace prior to that.
"We changed our approach slightly to play with three central midfielders; in order to be solid it was important to control the centre and have a bit more control and a bit more steel in there," Norwich boss Daniel Farke said.
"It's our first clean sheet at this level, after a difficult game for us against Aston Villa - I've worked pretty long in this business but I've never had to play without four centre-backs, without three holding midfielders and without two goalkeepers. It's a strange situation.
"[The result is] good for the mood, good for the self-confidence. Bournemouth is a tough place to come, their speed and mobility and physicality is often difficult to handle but we controlled the game in their half."
