GARY Waddock is bracing himself for a few practical jokes from his players at training today – April Fool’s Day.

He said: “I’m sure one or two of the lads will come up with some pranks but it will be business as usual from our side.

“We’ve got a number of jokers within the group so there’s plenty of banter flying around all the time. I don’t see it being any different on April 1.”

The Blues boss said he wasn’t a prankster as a player.

He joked: “I didn’t get involved, I was far too sensible for that.”
