Norwich 'shooting ourselves in the foot' - Manning

Norwich head coach Liam Manning at a press conference
  • Published

Norwich City head coach Liam Manning is under pressure to deliver a win at fellow Championship strugglers Derby County on Tuesday (19:45 BST).

The Canaries have lost three in a row and sit 20th, one place above the Rams.

On Saturday, they were beaten by Bristol City at Carrow Road in their sixth consecutive defeat at home in all competitions.

Manning has been speaking to the media ahead of the trip to Pride Park, here are some of the key points:

  • Defender Lucien Mahovo has had an injury setback and will definitely miss Tuesday's game. He had recently made his return following surgery on his quad.

  • Ben Chrisene will continue his absence through injury, while fellow defender Shane Duffy could return on Saturday at Swansea.

  • Forward Mathias Kvistgaarden could also return on Saturday in Wales.

  • Young winger Elliot Myles could be back in contention in the next two weeks - he hasn't featured for City yet this season.

  • "We need to be switched on for 95 minutes, we need to move on from shooting ourselves in the foot." Manning reveals that he spoke to the players at length during a meeting on Sunday.
