Norwich City is under pressure after a 3-2 defeat to Watford and a fiery AGM that angered some supporters. With head coach David Wagner feeling the heat, the club is in need of a victory at Ashton Gate. The team is hoping to avoid a 10th defeat in 15 matches, with pressure mounting as they currently sit seven points outside the top six and just three points ahead of the relegation zone.
The return of injured trio Angus Gunn, Adam Forshaw, and Jon Rowe to training has given a boost to the team, but the loss of Hwang Ui-jo to a hamstring injury is a setback. Norwich is also without several other key players, including Grant Hanley, Jacob Sorensen, Ben Gibson, and Josh Sargent, although they are expected to return this month. The team’s last game on the road saw them beat Cardiff 3-2, their only win in the last six away matches. David Wagner has never recorded a league win or goal at Ashton Gate in three attempts with Huddersfield and Norwich.
Norwich has already recorded a victory at Ashton Gate this season in a Carabao Cup second round meeting. The team is looking to improve their performance and result, with 1,100 Norwich supporters making the trip to Bristol in hopes of seeing a better showing. Liam Manning, who replaced Nigel Pearson last month, has won one, drawn one, and lost one in his three games in charge of the Robins. Full coverage of the match is available to Pink Un+ subscribers, with reporters taking comments and questions from City fans before, during, and after the game.
In summary, Norwich City is facing pressure after recent defeats and a fiery AGM. The team is in need of a victory at Ashton Gate to improve their standing in the table and ease the pressure on head coach David Wagner. With key players returning from injury and several important fixtures coming up, the team is hoping to turn their fortunes around.
