Lambert lauds Crofts

Crofts took his season's tally to eight with a first-half double as Norwich maintained their push for an automatic promotion spot.

And Lambert insists his side never looked in trouble against a Barnsley outfit enduring a five-game winless run.

"I thought we were on top from start to finish. It was a very good performance from us," he said.

"Andrew Crofts took his goals very well. He's shown all season that he can score goals from midfield. It was a piece of brilliance for his second goal.

"I thought the two centre-halves were colossal. They were excellent and hardly gave their strikers a look in. I know exactly what the players have done for me and how far we've come since I came to the club. I've got a target in my own mind for the rest of the season."
