Saturday will see Coventry City’s third visit to Wigan Athletic’s DW Stadium for a Football League match.
The Sky Blues have lost both of the previous games - 2-1 in March 2003 and 4-1 in a championship game in October 2004.
In that 4-1 defeat where the 800 strong City support called for Manager Peter Reid to be sacked, Alan Mahon gave Wigan a 14th minute lead with Eddy Johnson equalising for City on the half hour mark. In the second half, Wigan scored three times through
David Graham in the 52nd minute, Nathan Ellington nine minutes later and Mike Flynn two minutes into time added on.
The City team that day was:
Steele, Carey, Staunton (Sent off 79), Shaw, Leacock, Hughes, Doyle, Ricketts (Gudjonsson 72), Morrell (McSheffrey 85), John (Suffo 85), Johnson SNU Shearer and Deloumeaux.
