EFL preview: ‘Sleepless nights’ for under pressure bosses
Norwich City boss Philippe Clement is under pressure after his side’s poor start to the Championship season, with five consecutive defeats leaving them 21st after 11 games. Their form contrasts sharply with last season’s recovery under Clement, and the article highlights the scrutiny facing managers as recent exits at Crawley Town and Bromley underline how quickly jobs can be lost.
Norwich have nine points and have conceded 21 goals, more than all Championship sides except Preston. Striker Mohamed Toure, who scored five times in seven league games, is out for several months with a shoulder injury; Norwich visit Charlton on Saturday. The preview also notes Cardiff’s recent improvement, including a 5-1 win over Watford and a draw with Middlesbrough, ahead of a match against in-form Birmingham.
In short
- Norwich have lost five league games in a row.
- Philippe Clement is facing pressure after a poor start.
- Cardiff have shown signs of improvement.
