Coventry City v Exeter City - matchday thread - 23/9/17

Don't worry, Legohead. You don't make the saves or score the goals. Have no fear. City walk away with a 2-0 win and are masters of the universe. Next home game sell-out with fans sitting on the cowshed roof and hanging from trees.

This is the first of the "former big clubs" that we'll be playing. Generally more old Second Division or Championship. A really nice ground too with a big pitch. Not that any of that will effect our buays! I'll go 1-3 to City.

Our excellent run doesn't have to end today. Looking forward to a great day. Barring injuries am expecting the same starting line up.

Sure doesn't Hants , we have the firepower up front and a solid defence plus an excellent bench to call on.Confidence must be high.
All good things come to an end , but hopefully not today.

15 league games away to Coventry over the years. 8 defeats 6 draws and just one win (in 1933). We last played them in the league in 1958.

We beat them away 1-0 in the first round of the FA Cup in 1956. It was said at the time that George Hunter beat them by himself.

It was at about that time v Coventry that George H broke his leg (or was it his jaw?) Reg Matthews in goal for Coventry; happy days!

An unchanged starting XI.

Thank goodness it was sorted. I can't be going back up that tor for more stone tablets ...
Come on City, let's keep the run going. [ecfc]
