New manager can’t stop the 4-1 defeat at Birmingham, leaving Canaries five points away from safety.
When the ball reached Kenny McLean near the halfway line, few predicted what would happen next, even with the goalkeeper in two minds and caught out of position. This time, unlike in Tuesday’s heroics at Hampden Park, the self-proclaimed Mayor of Norwich lost the ball to a determined opponent, confirming the home team’s fourth goal and victory.
McLean, understandably tired after scoring from the center circle against Denmark to secure Scotland’s spot in the World Cup finals, returned to Norfolk not at his best. His loss of possession to Demarai Gray resulted in the perfect pass to Jay Stansfield, sealing Birmingham’s 4-1 win, highlighting Norwich’s struggle at St Andrew’s. However, McLean is not solely to blame for their ongoing challenges near the bottom of the Championship.
