Under the cosh? Saw it advertised looks interesting

Always thought Dave Jones was a pretty decent manager.
The Worthington era got Norwich back on an upward trajectory for the first time in 7 years, he deserves more respect that he perhaps gets.
Yes he stayed a bit too long but he wasn’t properly backed in the last year with transfers.
In hindsight there should have been a parting of the ways at the end of 05/06 with a new boss (not Peter Grant) taking over then.
