Johannes Hoff Thorup's revolution at Norwich City has been given the thumbs up by Canaries fan Stephen Fry. 

City have hit form under the Dane, taking 10 points from a possible 15 since the return of the Championship after the September break and scoring 12 times during that period. 

Thorup's attractive style of play, the integration of young players and overall direction of the club has been lauded by supporters, who have been enthused by recent performances and results. 

Fry is one of City's most famous supporters and is an ambassador, having served on the club's board for five years between 2010 and 2016. 

The comedian, presenter, actor and author is hopeful that the Canaries' new era led by Thorup can culminate in promotion to the Premier League and was full of praise for their new 'SAS' attacking partnership during an appearance on the Talksport Breakfast Show alongside ex-Ipswich Town forward Alan Brazil and former Aston Villa favourite Gabby Agbonlahor on Wednesday morning. 

"There's a strong chance [of promotion]," Fry said. "I think we're going in absolutely the right direction, and we've got some amazing players in Sainz and Sargent. 

"We've got some new ones coming through, the midfield is looking better and the connections are looking better. It's looking like a real team again." 

Fry was featured on the show to discuss his new book Odyssey and also praised City's work on raising awareness for mental health, something they did during Saturday's 4-0 win over Hull by holding football's first minute unsilenced as well as wearing the Samaritans logo on their shirt. 

City were also praised for a viral, award-winning social media video about mental health released on their club channels last year. 

Fry has been open about his own mental health struggles and is president of the Mind charity. He is proud of the work Norwich have done to raise awareness of the power of speaking openly about struggles.  

"We're very good with mental health," Fry said. "If you go on the usual sources, you will see that amazing film of those two guys sitting and watching the match. 

"One is very silent, and the other talks a lot, just going on about things. You know this is a film about mental health and think that the silent one is suffering. It changes, and you see the silent one sitting on his own, and it was the other one who had the trouble and didn't talk about it. 

"It's about talking about things. A lot of people who love sport and football, it's easy to think that you shouldn't talk about yourself or your emotions. You just put them all into the love of your club, shouting, drinking and being mates. 

"Amongst sportspeople and sports fans, there is this very strong chance that one of us will be inflicted by mental health problems which can affect us in various different ways."
