Johannes Hoff Thorup had his say on the key issues around Norwich City's 4-2 Championship win against Luton Town.
Ante Crnac's double, plus second half strikes from Emi Marcondes and in-form Borja Sainz sealed another impressive Carrow Road showing to cap a fine week after demolishing Plymouth 6-1 in midweek.
"I am pleased with the guys being able to bounce back," he said. "We've seen it a couple of times this season we concede the first goal and it is definitely not game over for us. We have the offensive qualities in this team to score goals.
"That is probably the best thing to have as a coach. We don't not have to worry about scoring goals. The only thing we need to look at is the amount of goals we concede.
"I am not surprised. When I talked to them at half-time there was so much confidence and belief that we could keep it going. I also have to praise the subs who came on because they made a big difference. That is a huge part of football. That is where the difference is to change the game from the outside.
"It is not only bouncing back from the first goal but the one we conceded in the second half. We spoke about getting a third to kill the game, and then it was back and forth for 25 minutes. But we decided to go for the three points and they delivered.
"The fans also sensed that at 2-2 it was a crucial moment. They can see we are not there yet. We can be a little bit shaky in moments and need that support. But the guys enjoy being out here and playing in front of these fans. There will definitely be moments this season when we struggle.
"On Ante, fantastic to see the goals but also that assist for Emi (Marcondes). A little bit like with Josh (Sargent) when he played that nine position for us when you see a striker in a good flow he doesn't think about scoring the goals but creating the best possible chance for the team. That was exactly the right decision for the third goal.
"Important for us he has had a good week and he is learning where the spaces open up so that he can make the most of what he brings to the team."
Thorup spoke to the media on Saturday afternoon at Carrow Road.
