Gonzo79 15,294 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 After our three (televised) pre-season matches, I'm looking forward to this one on Saturday. Will we see a similar starting line-up, resembling our first XI? Will Morelos get off the mark? Will Kent, Barisic and Hagi continue their good form? I hope so (to all three). When I think of Coventry City, the first thing that always springs to mind is the 1987 FA Cup Final and in particular, Cyrille Regis. More recently they've had plenty of problems, including having no ground and Steven Pressley. Their 2 Tone tribute strip a year or so ago was rather fetching. No injuries, another clean sheet and a few goals would be good. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franc Ergs 1,654 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Given that we're closer to starting our season ,I'd expect us to be that bit sharper than them . With Defoe's injury, don't think i'd risk Morelos in a friendly. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

26th of foot 6,084 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Pre-season 1990, we played Coventry City at Rugby Park. Terry Butcher had just been appointed the sky blues manager. The game was the final of a tournament and we won the cup, on penalties? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
