Manning on staying calm, Blackburn, Cantwell, transfers

Norwich City head to Blackburn on Saturday (15:00 BST) seeking to return to winning ways after consecutive home defeats.

City went down 2-1 against Middlesbrough in the Championship on Saturday before a 3-0 reverse against Southampton in the EFL Cup on Tuesday, their third straight loss at Carrow Road this season after an opening-day defeat by Millwall.

Head coach Liam Manning has been speaking to the media in the build-up to the Rovers game.

Here are some of the key points:

• Reflecting on the Southampton defeat, Manning says the Canaries didn't help themselves by not taking their chances when they were on top.

• There's no panic behind the scenes, he says, emphasising that staying calm and trusting the process they are going through is essential.

• "Building the foundations and blocks so that we're successful at the end of the season is the aim."

• On Blackburn: "They'll be well organised and set up; we'll need to be at our best to win."

• On Rovers midfielder Todd Cantwell, who spent six years at Norwich until 2023: "We'll do our homework, but the focus is on what we do, not individuals."

• On transfers - Manning says the club has been transparent with those players not getting any game time. "Never say never" with players coming back into the team if they train well, but players know where they stand.
