England boss caves in to dressing room pressure England manager Chad Dyer is under-fire after today's goalkeeping selection gaffe. The South African, 17, appears to have allowed himself to be cajoled into the error by the players against his better judgement, and the board are rumoured to be currently looking at more robust alternatives for the position. This comes at a time that adds further fuel to the fire for Dyer's resignation. England are currently winless in the Provincial Cup after two matches, an unprecedented predicament for the side, and many supporters' groups are calling for the axe. Mr Dyer was embroiled in further controversy at the half-time interview during the match against New South Wales, in which he refused to take responsibility and was heard to exclaim "fuck you Howe".

Good win NSW. England showing there form in Real life unable to beat most international teams Uselss England!

Yeah thankfully for you guys there isn't a big difference between players just now. In a couple of seasons you would feel it a lot more probably if that happened.
