Alex Neil: "No apologies" for Norwich City team changes

Alex Neil insists that he is not sorry for making seven changes to his Norwich City starting lineup at the weekend.

Norwich City boss Alex Neil has insisted that he does not regret his decision to make a number of alterations to his starting lineup for Saturday's FA Cup clash against Manchester City.

The Scottish manager made seven changes in total as the Canaries slipped to a 3-0 defeat at Carrow Road.

However, Neil has stressed that Premier League survival is the club's number one target this season, not a run in the FA Cup.

"Our main priority is to stay in the Premier League, that's the bottom line," he told BBC Sport.

"I make no apologies for changing the team up. I think it was the right decision and I hope I'm justified in the next two games."

Fifteenth-placed Norwich travel to Stoke City on Wednesday night, before making the trip to Bournemouth at the weekend.
