ON THE GAME
Leon McKenzie said to the CT: "I will have mixed feelings. "It is a great club and I feel they are a lot better than their league position would suggest right now. But it will be nice to go back there. "I don't know what sort of reception I will get, but I left for personal reasons so I would like to say the fans will be all right with me. "But you always get a few who don't understand when a player leaves a club.

"My focus is getting back to action for Coventry. Hopefully the fans know my capabilities and I can't wait to start getting a few goals again."

Iain Dowie said to the CT: "Let's not underestimate Norwich who were unlucky to only get a draw against Ipswich and played a very good side in Watford, and we know better than anyone what they can do, so it is going to be a tough game.

"Glenn Roeder has got them going a little bit and brought in some new players. "We will go there in a very positive frame of mind and, certainly, if we play anywhere near the way we did in the first half against West Brom we will give them a game. "What we must not do is give away poor goals which is something we have done too many times this year."
