​Chelsea loanee Gilmour delighted working with Norwich manager Smith

Chelsea loanee Billy Gilmour is very happy with the way his game is progressing under new manager Dean Smith at Norwich City.

The Canaries sacked Daniel Farke and introduced Smith in his place, and Gilmour has not had any problems acclimating to a new manager.

The Scottish international was very good in an unlucky 1-0 defeat to Manchester United at home in the Premier League on Saturday.

"I'm loving playing and working under the new manager, I think he's been really good with me so far," he said, per Evening News 24.

"I just need to make sure I'm putting in good performances every week to make sure I'm playing. It's a good squad and we're fighting for places.

"Injuries are building up and all sorts so I need to make sure that I'm on it every day in training to make sure that I'm in there next time.

"It's good, the boys are excited, we want to do well and stay in this league."

"Of course the new manager wants to come in and put his own stamp on things, in what he wants to do and what he wants us to be like," Gilmour continued.

"Every manager is different and working under the gaffer here, he has been very good on the training field so far. We feel more compact and harder to beat.

"You can see that on the pitch, that we're limiting teams' opportunities and we're creating a lot more as well. We're quite direct, you might say.

"I'm enjoying it and I'm sure it will click and we'll start getting the points soon."
