Sent to Coventry, Pre-Season Report

The importance of pre-season games varies depending on which blog you read, a couple of weeks ago @LeeCoolahan reported from Gorleston on what was essentially a light fitness exercise with seven City goals thrown in.

As I pointed out last week though the games get more important the closer you get to opening day so for me the Coventry fixture was interesting as I thought it would be a genuine indication of how far we’ve come. I sat in the home fans as ever, firmly in compliance with the rules when you are with a Coventry fan, whose whole family are also Coventry fans. I was a lone yellow in a sea of grumbling sky blues, one of only three yellow shirts I saw in the home stand. (There may have been more I just didn’t see them).
