Sky Blues v Saints: pre-match quotes

'The big games are all good games to have and we have got a good run of them now. But top of the league coming to our place will make for a good atmosphere and a great chance for us to show people what we can do.' - Andy Thorn shows his usual confidence when looking at the Sky Blues next three fixtures, Southampton, West Ham and Cardiff at home.

'All we could hear at half-time was them getting a rollicking in their dressing room, so there was nothing wrong with the formation then.' - Thorn defends his diamond formation, saying missed chances were to blame for City not being ahead against Millwall before their second-half collapse.

'I know that Andy Thorn and his team are focused, and with all our support they can move up the table.' - City chairman Ken Dulieu attempts to rally the troops ahead of the game.

'They press from the front, they work hard for each other and they pass the ball around an awful lot. If we aren't on top of our game they will give us some major problems.' - Saints boss Nigel Adkins on the Sky Blues.
