Hope we've learnt from last season, Coventry will be up for this as we would be if it were us in league 2.

Lets not piss around this time, the biggest cup game in 32 years could be ours.

Coventry still had tickets available in the away end yesterday.

Good call by Paul Barber not to give them ESU or WSU as well, and to sell tickets in those areas to albion fans instead.

Coventry Fans obviously know how to play the game." We have no chance, 0-6, they'll score 4, etc etc."

Really, thought they sold out in 3 hours

Indeed. But they then had a 2nd batch of 300 tickets ( returns ? ) that they haven't been able to fully shift, despite advertising availability.

Any Coventry fan could ( as of yesterday, not sure about today ) have bought an away ticket.

I am pretty confident we will win this tomorrow- then onto one of the big four remainers. One things for certain- both sets of fans will be well up for it as cup fever peaks.

An army of loud fans behind the goal, biggest game of the season for them. Obviously the players have had this game in their minds recently, so a drop off in league form was bound to happen. They know they can be headline news & bring some glory back to Cov', it's also what the media are waiting to write about.
All the pressure on us.

Really? A Coventry supporting close mate of mine had to bust a gut to get anywhere near securing a ticket. Ended up paying well over face value to get one. If the above is true he will be royally ****ed off to hear this.

The only problem is that the team we put out will not be used to playing together, unlike Premier games, which is what happened at Lincoln. However, the squad is much better now and should not fail.

I'd imagine a tight first half hour, maybe even goalless at half time, and then us gradually imposing ourselves and winning 2-0. But if Coventry score first (penalty, free kick, freak goal) who knows what might happen.

I don't predict a cricket score as I'd imagine our players will ease off if we establish a two-goal lead.

Looking forward to it and actually hope Coventry give us a good game, and maybe even a few scares. But with our resources ... of course we should win.
