After losing to Rotherham United before the international break, Norwich manager David Wagner acknowledged the importance of bouncing back against Stoke City on Saturday. Although Norwich did not perform at their best, they managed to secure a 1-0 victory at Carrow Road with a goal from Jack Stacey just before half time. Norwich currently hold one of only two perfect home records in the division, with the other belonging to leaders Preston. Wagner should be satisfied with their 13-point tally from the six matches played so far. However, he is aware that there is still a lot of work to be done in order to maintain their promotion push. This season, Norwich may find it easier to play without the high expectations they faced in the 2022-23 campaign.
