Coventry City boss Chris Coleman has told his players that now the pressure is off them, they can go out at Middlesbrough on Saturday and express themselves.
The game will see Coleman take his team to play against a former Coventry City manager, Gordon Strachan.
Coleman is hoping that now the pressure is off his team, coupled with the hope that Middlesbrough are suffering a bout of depression after missing out on the play offs, that his beleaguered side can come away from The Riverside with a result.
Even so, Coleman is not expecting an easy time of it in the north east, he said to the CT: "It is not an easy place to go but the pressure is off the lads because we are not going anywhere, so I will ask them to go and express themselves and do their best, and if we can get a positive result it sets us up for Watford who could still be playing for something.
"Boro were fancied to go straight back up, never mind the play offs, but they have missed out. They have changed their manager and some players. I hope that we get a good response from the players."
"They can only give us what they have got, and if the referee is a little bit kinder on the day, because we have not had a good one for a while, then we have got a good chance of winning because we may catch them on a little bit of a downer."
Coleman has reviewed last weeks penalty decision awarded for a foul by Richard Wood. At the time Coleman thought it was a penalty, but on closer look, he has said the offence was committed outside the box. "We have looked at it and it is not a penalty because it is outside the box," said Coleman.
"I knew it was a foul and thought it was a penalty but it wasn't and you are looking for decisions like that. We haven't had one and a poor decision has given one team the break. We had one against us when we played Cardiff, then there was the over the line incident at Leicester and things like that, and it happened to us again on Saturday. We are disappointed with that because we wanted to win in front of our home fans.
"We are just lacking a bit in terms of an injection of pace and a real threat whether it is coming from midfield or our full backs overlapping, or coming from the strikers, and that's what we need to improve on."
