Coventry & Their Preparations For Tomorrow

[Exiled in Exeter]

Sky Blues assistant manager Adrian Heath: "I don’t know how many it [Withdean] holds and it won’t be as intimidating [as Cardiff] but we have to play each game on its merits.”

"Leon Knight has had a terrific eight or nine months down there and he’ll be the one to look out for, a bit like Robert Earnshaw. He only had the one chance the other night and he took it and Knight is very much of the same ilk. They’re a very hard working side, they’re very organised as all Mark McGhee’s sides are. He did a terrific job taking them up last year and I have no doubts that it will be a very difficult game for us."

I hope that Coventry have spent some of their week in training working on how to stop Knight, as this quote seems to imply they think he will be playing. If this is the case, they may be in for a surprise!

Here are two of the more interesting thoughts of Graham Barrett on the game at Withdean tomorrow:

"They won’t be easily done over, especially at home. I think we’ve got better players than they have so we should come out on top but the team spirit down there is fantastic and they’re really good boys who’ll make it very difficult.

"I’ve never come across a team with as much spirit as them so we will have to be very careful."

I think he's got it about right.

To be fair to him, he has always had good stuff to say about the Brighton set up in general. May not have been the best player for us but he's a top bloke.

perhaps he was played out of position at Brighton, he seems to be fitting in well at left wing or just behind the front 2 and chipping in with more than one goal last season earning himself a place in the republic of Ireland squad
