WONDERS OF THE PYRAMID

-

DAVID WAGNER takes charge of his first league game as NORWICH boss today with a trip to inconsiste­nt PRESTON. The German-American boss says he is trying to build a relationsh­ip with the fans, which was missing in Dean Smith’s poor tenure as Carrow Road turned against him. Wagner has been sacked at Schalke and Young Boys after leaving Huddersfie­ld and some have questioned if he is the right man to take the club forward. Norwich are 11th. LUTON host WEST BROM in a battle of two teams flying under new coaches. Rob Edwards’s Hatters have won their last three league games, and the Baggies have won eight of Carlos Corberan’s 10 Championsh­ip matches. At the bottom of the table, ROTHERHAM are out of the drop zone by a single point but have lost 11 of 18 games since Paul Warne left for Derby. They play third-placed BLACKBURN at 12.30pm. In League One, managerles­s PORTSMOUTH look set to give the job to Liam Manning. The 37-year-old had one brilliant season at MK Dons but fans wonder if it is a sideways move after the club sacked Danny Cowley. GILLINGHAM host HARTLEPOOL in a League Two relegation battle. Gills’ new boy Tom Nichols will make his debut.
