Coventry City defender Marcus Hall has said that Saturday's visit of Queens Park Rangers managed by former City boss Iain Dowie is just another game.
Speaking to the CT, the 31 year defender said: "Of course there's going to be a bit more surrounding that game but we will prepare for it like we would for any other game, we try and win whoever we are playing.
"The lads got on well with Iain Dowie so there's no problem there. We won't be going 'we want to win this because Dowie's back', for the players it's just another match.
"There will be a bit more intensity for the fans because an ex-manager is back and there will be a little bit more in the papers leading up to the game.
"I thought Iain did fairly well as Coventry manager, he got off to a great start and we were heading in the right direction.
"I suppose Iain's departure came out of the blue, itwas the chairman's decision and these things happen.We can't do anything about that and now he has moved on.
"We're under new management now with Chris Coleman, he's got us playing well and everyone has the utmost respect for him."
