Journalistic b0ll0cks.

All they've done is quote an interview from our Offy (a week old) and package it as a warning to Coventry. Dickie doesn't mention Coventry or any other team at all.

Absolutely

[Rebel R's]

The only warning the players need is NOT to underestimate Coventry and to set out is if they are playing Watford or Swansea .
we dont need reminding on how we do against teams struggling recently .Derby ,Huddersfield and Birmingham were all games we would have expected to win but lost .
I suspect the same will happen against Coventry as they will be more motivated and fancy their chances . 0-1

I still haven't got over the defeat at their place earlier in the season. I was livid and still have "dark thoughts" about it. Any failure to mete out retribution this Saturday will probably cause me to foam at the mouth over the Easter period.

It's a Friday game and we lose nearly all of those. 1-2

Edit: including the corresponding away fixture earlier this season.

Looking forward to rangers games again, I’m bored shitless with this international football.

[Mem]

Will be tough and we may have to put a slightly weakened team;

Lumley for Dieng (international duty)
Bonne for Dykes or just one up top (3 games for Scotland in 8 days)
Cameron for De Wijs (gone very quiet re his groin injury)
Ball injured

I expect the team to line up as follows;

Lumley
Kane
Dickie
Cameron
Barbet
Wallace
Field
Johansson
Chair
Willock
Austin

[Mem]

Was only 1 out with Kakay instead of Kane

Let’s hope Jordy not out for too long and Lumley plays a blinder today

[LoftusRoadLad]

Dieng will be in goal. He was only subs

Chazz & Bonny up front

Willock should start

Dieng played in the second game

[dave58]

Hate it when players start bragging about what just play the game and win

[LoftusRoadLad]

Dieng played in the second game

Still should be fit to play

Don't you feel watching England is like watching Rangers? A lot of huffing and puffing with little to show for it, lack of cutting edge, sideways, backwards, wayward final ball, struggling against duff opposition. I've actually wanted shot of Southgate for ages - England will never win a tournament with him at helm, he's a blazer and spreadsheet/data coach (like someone else I can think of!).

[SheepRanger]

Dykes couldnt score against San Marino but will against Coventry.

[MINCER]

Yes I agree watching all that sideways passing in England’s own half was just like watching the Rangers team before the change in formation.

Very noticeable that both the under 21 side and senior players proceed to throw themselves to the ground unnecessarily claiming to be fouled at least 60% of the time.

If that is future of the game then I give up.

[MINCER]

Was Johansen on international duty recently ?

Be good to see if Bettache and Kelman are able to get a run of games to gauge their ability for next season.
