Man Utd defender Smalling insists no panic inside England camp

Manchester United defender Chris Smalling says there's no panic inside the England camp after their draw with World Cup qualifying opponents Montenegro.

He believes the fact England have three of their final four games at home could be a crucial factor.

He said: "The manager (Roy Hodgson) emphasised that three of the last four games are at home and at Wembley we feel very strong.

"Do we probably need 10 points? I think so. That's the points (total) we were talking about.

"But, with the three games at home, we are very confident and, even though the second half was disappointing, we can take a lot from that first half."
