EFL takeaways: Sam Parkin gives his views on Saturday’s action

Pressure is also growing on Norwich boss Liam Manning, who saw his team beaten by former club Bristol City at Carrow Road.

Parkin: “It was a horrible game for Liam Manning today. It was hugely pressurised because Norwich have lost five home games already this season. To go into that, you’ll just want a team that is struggling, but to come up against his previous employers was really difficult.

“He’ll know the players and some of the staff; there is a lot of pressure. Home form is imperative because that is where the majority of the fans see you, to lose again today will bring pressure.

“But it isn’t just on Manning, there are questions for the Norwich hierarchy too. It doesn’t look like many of the new signings have hit the ground running. So, problem times.

“The other side of the coin is Bristol City are still unbeaten away from home and have had a great start to the season. They deserve credit too.”
