Sky Blues On The Road - Nottingham Forest

Last updated : 27 August 2004 By Covsupport
Peter Reid faces a selection problem as the Sky Blues set off up the M69/M1 to Nottingham Forest. He may well start with Patrick Suffo who scored in the corresponding fixture last season and netted twice in the 4-1 win over Torquay in midweek. However Reid feels that the fitness level of the Cameroon international is not good enough and may only use him as a sub,with possibly Gary McSheffrey and Andy Morrell leading the attack.

No other problems were reported following the midweek win and City are again expected to field Calum Davenport despite all the speculation regarding him moving to a Premiership club.

It is a problem,Forest fans can sympathise with as there has been much speculation about midfielder Andy Reid attracting interest from Tottenham (with a deal of cash plus former City player Jonnie Jackson rumoured). Irish international Reid is one of the players in the division and Forest supporters will not be happy if he does not play in the game against City.

To get to the City ground:
M1 to junction 24. Follow signs for Nottingham South to Trent Bridge. Turn right into Radcliffe Road and left into Colwick Road. Train station - Nottingham Midland 1/2 mile

Tickets are still available not surprising due to the scandalous admission price of £25.

You are warned that the police and stewards at the City ground have not progressed since the days of the 1980's Coal Miners strike and are known for their pedantic nature and needless ejections.

City's Academy side are at home to Barnsley. Kick off at Ryton is 11am and Steve Ogrizovic will be looking for a better performance after the 4-1 defeat at Blackburn last weekend.

Coventry City Ladies play their first WPL Northern Division home game of the season on Sunday against Lincoln City. Manager Mark Phillips will have a full squad to choose from and will be able to field new signing Michelle Hickmott from Fulham. The England U21 international formerly played with Birmingham City.

The game is being staged at Nuneaton Borough and kick off is at 2pm. Admission is £2 adults and £1 concessions. A programme is available.
