Norwich City lose 3-1 to Blackburn Rovers
David Wagner's side have secured just one point in their last six games
Norwich sit 17th in the Championship after a 3-1 loss to Blackburn Rovers.
It means David Wagner's side have secured just one point in their last six games.
An opening 15 minutes double from Tyrhys Dolan and Sammie Szmodics set Rovers ahead early in the match, before Szmodics scored his second early in the second half.
Norwich could only muster a consolation in added time when Gabriel Sara found the net against the then 10 men of Blackburn.
Gaffer Wagner says they never recovered from the early concessions: "In the first minutes, we came into the game quite well. We had some good turnovers high up and didn't execute the opportunities," he said.
"Afterwards, when we didn't get our press right, we got punished and were 2-0 down. They've done it better, we had high turnovers without clear-cut chances out of those situations. "
"The second half started very poorly with the goal we conceded, another from a transition after a set-piece which we had. We have to solve this issue much better, take responsibility and be switched on which we were not."
"It's a horrible run that we are on, it hurts for everyone"
He did praise the effort of the squad though: "I can't complain about the effort, again the players tried until the final seconds.
"They really wanted to change things but obviously it was not good enough because it's a defeat. I'm the manager and I have to take responsibility for it...
"The players tried. We were not clinical today, we created enough opportunities to score more than only one goal. It's a horrible run that we are on, it hurts for everyone.
"After the red card and the substitutions, we attacked quite well, we made opportunities. Apart from the last 10 minutes, we played an overload well without being clinical in those situations, we had to score earlier to get more belief, more energy.
"The longer it took, the more difficult."
