City U18's Face Reading

Last updated : 29 January 2010 By Covsupport News Service

Coventry City U18's will look to put their 8-1 thrashing at Spurs last week behind them when they take on Reading at home on Saturday.

The defeat was the heaviest a City U18's team have sustained since the Academy League was formed but City Academy boss Greg Rioch told the CT: "It may be difficult for people to believe that despite the scoreline they played some really good football.

"We will be working on defending this week and they have got to work harder for each other, but it is a learning curve for the lads and good for their development."

City are seventh in the Academy League Group B table with Reading in ninth.
Kick off is at 11am, not 11.30 as previously reported and the currently appointed referee is L.Blackwood.
