\n The south-east London-born defender has been a key figure in the Canaries\u2019 revival under Philippe Clement, featuring in every game this season except the 5-1<\/a> FA Cup third-round win over Walsall.\n<\/p>\n

\n With Norwich\u2019s full-back options limited by injury in recent weeks, the 21-year-old has again demonstrated his versatility, switching seamlessly from right to left.\n<\/p>\n

\n Although Norwich\u2019s faint top-six hopes were ended by the draw with Portsmouth, Fisher remains eager to test himself in front of a sold-out Millwall crowd, buoyed by a huge win against fellow automatic-promotion chasers Middlesbrough on Good Friday.\n<\/p>\n

\n “Yeah, of course. To be fair, I\u2019ve not played there yet (The Den),\u201d Fisher said. \u201cI missed out last year through injury. So yeah, I\u2019ll be looking forward to playing there.\n<\/p>\n

\n “I\u2019ve got family supporting Millwall, sort of my grandad and stuff. So, I think they\u2019ll be in the away end, but I think they\u2019ll be supporting Norwich. So yeah, it\u2019ll be a good game to play in.\n<\/p>\n

\n \u201cIt’ll be a tough game, but I’m sure we want to try and kick on from today. Obviously, we weren’t good enough today, so of course it’s another challenge in the Championship with Millwall away. They’re a very good team and they’re doing well this season, so we’ll be going there to spoil their party.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n Alex Neil\u2019s Millwall currently sit second in the Championship table, with a seemingly favourable run-in on paper against sides in mid-table and lower. While Fisher isn\u2019t a supporter of the Lions, he is well aware of the club.\n<\/p>\n

\n “I\u2019ve been quite a lot with my grandad when I was younger,\u201d he continued. \u201cIt\u2019s not a team that I support personally, but it\u2019s somewhere I used to go when I was younger just to watch football with my grandad.\n<\/p>\n

\n “He still goes now, and my uncles are Millwall fans as well. So yeah, it\u2019ll be funny seeing them in the away end\u2026 I mean, home end.\n<\/p>\n

\n “Of course it\u2019s not the nicest ground to go to, but I enjoyed it, watching football there when I was younger. And of course they\u2019re kicking on really well this season, so of course it\u2019ll be a tough game.”\n<\/p>\n

\n It marks the start of a tough week for the Canaries, with the East Anglian Derby at Carrow Road looming, but Fisher remains firmly focused on Millwall first.\n<\/p>\n

\n \u201cTo be fair, it doesn\u2019t seem that far away (the Ipswich game). But no, not much has been said really. I think we\u2019ll be focusing on Monday first, and then, of course, after Monday we\u2019ll be fully focused on that.\n<\/p>\n

\n “I think we\u2019ve done really well to go head-to-head with teams higher up the table,” he continued.\n<\/p>\n

\n “It\u2019ll be a tough atmosphere going there, and they\u2019re in good form – I think they won 2-1 against Boro today. Of course, we\u2019ll be looking to face the challenge head-on.\n<\/p>\n

\n \u201cI think we\u2019re just taking it game by game and we\u2019ll see where we end up at the end of the season. But we\u2019re going into each match to try and win it and pick up as many points as we can until the end of the season.\n<\/p>\n

\n “It\u2019s also now about building for next season, because we\u2019re in great form at the moment and have picked up a lot of points, so it\u2019s something we should carry forward.”\n<\/p>\n

\n Fisher is yet to find the back of the net in his senior career, despite coming close on several recent occasions. The young defender emphasised that he is keen to change that soon.\n<\/p>\n

\n \u201cI\u2019ve sort of been working on it. I think the last few attempts I\u2019ve had haven\u2019t been great, so it\u2019s something I\u2019m focusing on.\n<\/p>\n

\n “Of course, I want to add goals and assists to my game. To be fair, I\u2019m happy to keep getting these chances. I\u2019ve probably left a few opportunities out there, which were maybe from slightly unnatural positions.\n<\/p>\n

\n “But yeah, hopefully it comes soon. I\u2019m just glad to be in the right areas and getting these chances.\u201d\n<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The south-east London-born defender has been a key figure in the Canaries\u2019 revival under Philippe Clement, featuring in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":514175,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-514174","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/514174","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=514174"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/514174\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/514175"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=514174"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=514174"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=514174"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
