COVENTRY CITY PREVIEW Match Previews Time for some early pre-match reading as we look ahead to Saturday's trip to take on the Sky Blues. Continue reading on the official site...
We haven't beaten Coventry away for 98 and a half years. Can we beat them before the Century comes up?
You might have, but I haven't lol. I've always assumed we're gonna get beat. This time is different. Trust me. Have faith
Somewhat surprisingly there are quite a few clubs who have a disastrous record at Oakwell. Wrexham, as an example, have never won here and we've put 6 past them, 5 past them, 4 past them, and 3 on several occasions. On the flip side of that we've never won at Wrexham and they have a 7 and a 6 against us.
Always someone who plummets every year, could this year be Coventry, they've only beaten Derby, Pboro and Reading this year, lost to Cardiff last night. Couple of months ago they were top 6, now 14th and sinking. Silver linings an all that........
But Coventry have 44 points. That would mean us taking 27 points from our last 16 games to draw level with them without them getting a single point. In the last 16 games of the Flitcroft ‘Great Escape’ we got 24 points. In Struber’s it was 25 points. I think it’s any 3 from 4 at the bottom but Derby have to be favourites given that their PPG is way better than the other 3.
