A Great Game For Us - Wilder

Last updated : 28 October 2015 By CNS Staff

Northampton Town manager Chris Wilder has said that the FA Cup draw against Coventry City is a great draw for the Cobblers.

Speaking to the Northampton Chronicle, Wilder said: “I think it’s a great draw for us. 

“It’s a local game, so that is good for our support and no doubt the backing will be healthy because it is just up the road. 

“It pits us against a team that is going really well in league one, although it is not a league one club, the stadium and the tradition the club has, it’s a lot higher than that.

“The tie also gives us an opportunity of progressing.

“We are going to have to play well, but I think it’s a great game for us and a dangerous one for Coventry.

“If they play well they would expect to win, but it’s a good challenge for us and if we want to progress to the next level, and we want to play teams like this week in, week out, we can have a look at ourselves in this game.

“We know we’ll have to play really well to get a result, and hopefully we can do that.”
