The Sunderland Prophet - Coventry City V Sunderland

Coventry City
Not allot of people fancy Coventry City to acheive anything this season, but they're my dark horses for promotion. One thing you know for sure and that's Peter Reid will have his players well fired up this one and I think this is a game to look fowarded to.

As far as a starting line-up goes, I'm not expecting it to be any different from last season, although you'll see some of the new lads on the bench. You'll see more of the new boys at home games, as you'll agree, the team was a little too defensive at home and our away record was fine.

It'll be a tight, fast, hard tackling game with penty of blood and thunder. Sunderland will dominate periods, but waste chances as per.

Starting eleven: Poom, Wright, Breen, Carldwell, McCartney, Oster, Robinson, Whitley, Arca, Stewart and Kyle.

Subs: Alnwick, Williams, Whitehead, Lawrence and Elliott.

Score: COVENTRY CITY 2 SUNDERLAND 2.

Scorers: Stewart and Robinson.
