"There is pressure on Chris Davies and that shouldn't be a slight on the job he's done at Birmingham given it is his first job. He did so well last season but it shows the difference in level between the Championship and League One, where they were the strongest side by a long way last season. Goalscoring has been an issue for them, they've been creating enough but it has been tough converting that into goals."
"It was a horrible game for Liam Manning today. It was hugely pressurised because Norwich have lost five home games already this season. To go into that, you'll just want a team that is struggling, but to come up against his previous employers was really difficult. He'll know the players and some of the staff; there is a lot of pressure."
The full complement of EFL fixtures returned after the international break with notable results and rising pressure on several managers. Birmingham's 18-month unbeaten league home record ended as Hull beat them 3-2 at St Andrews. Birmingham received significant backing from American owners and had promotion expectations, but one win in seven and persistent goalscoring problems have intensified scrutiny on Chris Davies. Norwich lost at home to Bristol City, marking a fifth Carrow Road defeat and increasing pressure on Liam Manning. Luton suffered a home defeat to Mansfield, giving Jack Wilshere a difficult start as manager.
