John Deehan, the Norwich City manager, faces a difficult time ahead, placating spectators who are disgruntled with the team's performances and departures from Carrow Road.

The Canaries went down to a fifth defeat in seven matches against visiting Wimbledon on Saturday and more than 200 supporters chanted "Deehan out" as they vented their anger over the transfer of the striker Mark Robins, who is set to complete a £1m move to the Premiership's bottom club, Leicester, today.

Deehan, who took charge a year ago, has sold five strikers in that time. "I'm doing what I believe is right, and I'm well aware what the consequences of failure will be," he said.

Leicester's interest in strikers does not stop at Robins. They are to give an extended trial to the Raith Rovers's forward, Colin Cameron.
