Chris Hughton coy on Grant Holt reaction

Hughton coy on Holt reaction

Norwich City manager Chris Hughton is not keen to discuss Grant Holt's reaction to being substituted during their draw at Southampton.

Having gone behind to a Rickie Lambert goal, a Robert Snodgrass free kick just before half-time earned the Canaries a 1-1 draw at St Mary's.

Having been taken off by the manager Holt stormed straight down the tunnel, but Hughton was unwilling to look too much into the incident.

"It's not about the captain - it's about a group of players that I've got that are totally committed," Hughton said.

"I certainly don't want to see players that are happy not to play and are happy to be brought off.

"My responsibility is to look after the squad and try and get the best out of them. If that means players showing a little bit of passion and desire, then I can certainly settle for that."

Norwich host Sunderland on Sunday in the Premier League.
