Should Skubala be given more time?

Former Bromley boss Andy Woodman backs Skubala to succeed at Bristol City despite mounting pressure after a 5-0 loss to Norwich left them 17th in the Championship.

Michael Skubala faces increasing scrutiny at Bristol City following a heavy 5-0 defeat to Norwich City on Saturday that condemned the Robins to a sixth home loss of the season and left them six points adrift of the play-off places in 17th.

Former Bromley manager Andy Woodman has defended the 44-year-old, arguing he needs time to establish his identity at the club. Woodman highlighted Skubala's success at Lincoln City, where he won the League One title last season with 103 points, and suggested the manager will adapt to Championship level.

He also noted that three summer signings from League One — forwards Dom Ballard and Lorent Tolaj and goalkeeper Sam Tickle — are also struggling with the step up and need time to settle.
