I felt my career at Norwich had run its course when I left for Wigan this summer. I didn?t enjoy the last year. Don?t get me wrong, I still had some good times that year and made some good friends among the lads but I just didn?t enjoy my football.

At the end of the season it was successful and kept us up but I didn?t enjoy playing the way we were and I thought it was right for me to move on.

Under Paul Lambert we used to attack and press and be more high tempo. We scored something like 32 goals in the last 15 minutes under him at Norwich. He had the enthusiasm and attitude, ?You score two and we?ll score three?. As a forward, I was getting chances and people were around supporting to me.

Chris Hughton was much more defensive. He wanted to do everything in shape but I was a lot more isolated and doing more defensive work than I did.
It?s a team game and who am I to dictate what I want to do? So I did my job for the team, I achieved what I wanted to at the club and Norwich stayed up ? which I hope they do again ? and I thought the time was right to go.

They?d signed lads to bring in and if he wanted his own men in to play his style that was fine.
