    One to the Richest club in the world...and one in a non-event 1st round league cup match.

    We've got Coventry on Saturday, one of our bogey sides from the past 2 seasons. We will be without 3 of our best players from last year (Muller, Silva, JCR) and our best performer of pre season (El Hammiour). Obviously a win won't go a miss but i'd be happy with a draw.

    I know i'll get the generic "why wud u be happy with a draw" replies but Davey wants year on year improvement...so a point against Coventry is a point more than we got against Coventry last season.

    This post is probably too optimistic for some people on here to handle but i think we'll be on course for a mid table finish. We've got a better squad than last year so get behind the lads on Saturday....our season starts then!

    I'm not surprised at all

    I fully expected the two defeats. Can't say that I'm that happy about it though.
