It will be interesting to see just how good you are in comparison to our usual opponents and, more importantly, whether we can raise our game to compete.

We are building a team capable of holding their own in League 1. I would say we are potentially half-way there but, rather frustratingly, we rarely play well as a team for 90 minutes. Inconsistency is the issue at our level but, hopefully, you'll be surprised by how good some of our ex-league players are.

Looking forward to watching this on the TV, and hope it is decided on the day. We don't want too many more distractions from our goal of promotion.

L2 is a really poor league. L1 is a step up but still 10 or so poor teams. The Championship though is a massive step up from L1 as we found out in our first season back. The pace is the big factor and if you're slow you have no chance. Apart from Burnley and Sheff Utd, anyone can beat anyone.

I watched your game against York a few weeks back. It was a poor game but obviously can't read too much into just one match. Both teams really tired quite early in the second half and that's where i think the game will be won as we'll introduce the so-called big guns after about 60 mins.

More recently we've done okay against NL teams in the FA Cup beating Maidenhead & Boreham Wood but we do have a reputation of losing to NL teams in the past like Worcester City and the more famous one Sutton Utd the year after we won the cup.

The Championship is a crazy league. Blackburn are third and have lost more games than everyone in the league apart from the bottom club Wigan.

Ah, Coventry.

Lady Godiva! Sir Frank Whittle! Pete Waterman, The Specials! The Luftwaffe! Mother, the bloody Germans are back! Can you hear me mother?

Quite looking forward to this one, used to spend a lot of time in Cov back in the day. As you can probably tell. Alas, Covid rules me out of attending, but I think we can give them a game!

Get well soon. I also used to spend some time in cov. We used to have a minibus to highfield rd from school. I also saw Wizzard live in cov !

If Coventry have the players to exploit our lack of pace then we could be in for a difficult 90 minutes.

Thoughts, DoneThe92?

Lose 2-1. Think the game will be competitive for the most part but they'll edge it late on.
