Paddy’s Pointers: Four observations after more Carrow Road misery

Pinkun football editor Paddy Davitt delivers his Bristol City verdict after the Canaries 1-0 Championship defeat.

The Robins’ travelling support were already taunting former boss Liam Manning before kick-off. By the full-time whistle there was plenty of home fans willing to join in with the same chant.

Manning’s desertion after leading Bristol City to a first play-off finish in 17 years in the second tier was clearly deemed unforgiveable by those who made the long trek.

Manning left because in Norwich he clearly calculated he was joining a club with bigger resources and a higher ceiling to achieve his own personal ambitions. He may be leaving rather quicker than he anticipated through the trap door.

Measured in the fury of those who remained in all four home corners of Carrow Road at full-time that tipping point has been reached. Not simply with this head coach.

Author's summary: Norwich City suffers 1-0 defeat at home.
