Norwich fan Richard Balls: 'It should have happened on Boxing Day but we can't be worse under Adams. It will galvanise the fans and hopefully the players. #ncfc. McNally must have told him straight after the game. Hughton took an age to emerge for his press interviews and seemed a bit shaky #ncfc.'
BBC Five Live football commentator and Norwich fan Mike Sewell: 'A very brave decision by @NorwichCityFC to make a change so late in the season but #NeilAdams is highly respected and regarded at #NCFC.
