Norwich City boss David Wagner had no complaints with their defeat to Blackburn Rovers as pressure grows on his future.
Rovers turned up the heat on the Canaries boss with a 3-1 win at Carrow Road. Goals inside the first 15 minutes from Tyrhys Dolan and Sam Szmodics prompted a chorus of boos and mutinous chants from the Norwich supporters.
Jon Dahl Tomasson's side were 3-0 up inside 50 minutes and only a red card from Scott Wharton gave Norwich a glimmer of hope. Even then, they struggled to break Rovers down and didn't score until the 93rd minute through Gabriel Sara.
Wagner felt Norwich's attempts to press the ball high up the pitch were badly executed which gave Blackburn the chance to play around them. He's hoping he gets the chance to resurrect his Norwich career but admitted their form, one win in 10, isn't good enough.

"Another disappointing result," Wagner told The Pink 'Un post-match.
"In the first few minutes, I thought we came into the game well where we forced some mistakes on the ball high up the pitch. After that, we didn't get our press right in the first 15 minutes and they punished us immediately with their opportunities.
"We started the second half poorly and conceded from another transition from our own set-piece. Unfortunately, they switched off before the situation was finished and we were 3-0 down and we had a mountain to climb.
"I can't complain about the effort, the lads tried hard and wanted to score. We weren't clinical and why deserved to lose.
"We wanted to be brave and be in their face, press them high/ We did it but we got the press wrong and they punished us. When we got it right, we didn't create clear-cut chances. If you concede early, it doesn't help you.
"We want to press high but it doesn't help you. The results aren't good enough, I understand fans' frustration. What I can say is we're trying everything, working tirelessly but again today, we weren't good enough."
"Of course, if I get the chance, I will do what I've done in the past and work tirelessly to try to turn it," he added on his future. "But I am not the right person to ask this question. to be fair. (Will you get the chance to be in charge for Cardiff?) I don't know. I'm not the person who can answer this question.
