Norwich City’s top-flight return had been progressing much as expected, with nine points from eight games, until last Sunday’s 6-2 reverse at previously winless Newcastle. That defensive horror show would have given City’s manager, Alex Neil, a long week, even if Saturday’s visitors were beaten 3-0 in the Capital One Cup last month. Tony Pulis’s side are unlikely to be as charitable again. Paul Chronnell
