\u201cWe knew Sheffield Wednesday were a team that had lost a lot of games – but a lot, I think, by only one goal difference,\u201d Clement told BBC radio Norfolk.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe knew it was a massive game and we could not underestimate them and we had by far the most chances, most possession, two good goals, could have been more, so a lot of pleasing things.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe team stayed focused, very professional, very well organised and that\u2019s our strength that we need to use in the coming weeks and months.<\/p>\n
\u201cTaking players off when they are good in the game because in a few days you have another game and they\u2019re not ready to play 90 minutes two times in a row, it\u2019s a tough job and we\u2019re working hard to make them stronger, to make them better.\u201d<\/p>\n
