'We weren't ruthless enough' - Manning
Five home games, five defeats for Norwich City
- Published
Norwich City head coach Liam Manning is not feeling any pressure despite his side losing all five home games this season.
"Ultimately I've got to win games, I'm quite clear on that. I can't control those things - my head's focusing on the lads making sure that we haven't got time to feel sorry for ourselves," Manning told BBC Radio Norfolk.
The Canaries lost 1-0 to West Bromwich Albion on Wednesday night despite dominating possession and having more shots on target.
"[After] the control we had, the chances we created, to lose is a tough one to take because I actually thought the performance was good," Manning continued.
"I thought we created some really good opportunities, I think we just didn't take them - we weren't clinical enough. We weren't ruthless enough."
Norwich have lost all five home games in all competitions but are yet to lose on the road. Their dire home form means they sit 19th in the Championship.
"We want to make [Carrow Road] a difficult place to come. I thought we did that without having that edge in both boxes [against West Brom]," Manning said.
Norwich City will visit Ipswich Town on Sunday (12:00 BST) for the East-Anglian derby, when they will aim to continue their strong away form.
"In these moments you have to fight, you have to dig in. We're developing resilience and a toughness because of the period we're in," Manning said.
"We understand how important the game is on Sunday and we have to use that as fire and fuel to make sure that we're ready to perform and win."
