Former Coventry City forward Clive Platt feels that City need new additions to the squad if they are to get promoted back to the Championship.
Speaking to the CT's Andy Turner, Platt who will officially become a Northampton Town player on July 1st after his City contract has expired said: “Coventry definitely need some new additions because it is a lot to ask of the young lads to engineer a promotion,” he said.
“But with the right signings and using the young lads correctly I think a bit of hard work and a solid game plan they could do it.
“I am not saying they can run away with the league because it is not that kind of division. Charlton, Sheffield Wednesday, Preston, Leicester even, have all gone down and not flown back up, so it is a difficult league.
“There are a lot of teams who know the division well and there will be very tough places to go and there will be a lot of teams capable of pushing for promotion and I am sure Coventry will be one of them.
“The Ricoh is such a magnificent ground that if the fans get behind the team and they start winning games early doors then they can make it a really intimidating place.
“But the other side of that is teams going there and looking at the great pitch and arena and upping their game, thinking they want to play well on this pitch today, so I am sure they will have a lot of tough games at home.
“And going away from home can be a bit of a culture shock playing on pitches that aren’t as nice to play on against teams who have got a lot of points at home themselves.”
