Fabio Capello asked for patience.
Between the Czech Republic last month and Andorra today, I would say the fans patience has run out.

Keep in mind Russia needed a late goal to beat Andorra to qualify for the Euros at home when England lost to Croatia. They are not the pushover some think and if your media treats them as such it's more a dis service to the players than anything besides looking ahead.

Tactics, England abandoned tactics for sixty-five minutes of this game and went back to the tried and failed long ball. Team mentality, I sure didn't see one. For the entire first half, they looked more disjointed than they ever did under McClaren.
This was a win yes, but a good one no. Croatia looked very good against Kazakhstan (who mind you, got three against Andorra) and I expect them to look the same against England. I will be very stunned if England get any result against Croatia, I thought England looked that bad.
Are Andorra pushovers, once you get a goal against them yes. They have little to no attacking sense and would rather sit everyone back and hope for the best.
However as Joe Cole said to Setanta Sports, it's all about Wednesday. They better perform a hell of a lot better than they did today.

But you are going to argue Andorra is underrated?
Here's something for you to chew on: these are results of the last 5 international qualifying campaigns for Andorra-
Euro 2000: 0 points, -25 GD
World Cup 2002: 0 points, -31 GD
Euro 2004: 0 points, -17 GD
World Cup 2006: 5 points (4 of which came against one team, Macedonia), -30 GD
Euro 2008: 0 points, -40 GD
A total of 1 win and 2 draws over 52 matches (not counting the two they have already played for World Cup 2010). They lost more matches by four or more goals during Euro 2008 qualifying (4) then the number they lost by one (2).
Want to defend an average performance out of England? I have no problem with that. You want to make Andorra out to be anything other than an UEFA bottom feeder? I'm sorry, but I have to wonder if your seeing the same game everybody else sees.

The longer England fans expect to see Brazil-like performances, including ten-nil scorelines against the minnows, the heavier the cross self-hating England fans seem to want to bear.

France and Italy deserve to be thrashed for their pitiful performances as well.
Quite frankly I could give a toss either way with England. The way I saw it, they were pathetic. With the number of chances England had, they should have won AT LEAST 3-0 MOST LIKELY 4-0.
