The Games Played On Grass Not Paper - Boothroyd

Last updated : 24 February 2011 By Covsupport News Service

Coventry City manager Aidy Boothroyd has been talking about the threat of Saturday's opponents Leicester City.

The bookies have made the Sky Blues rank outsiders by their standards by offering odds of 6/1 on City's first team to win for the first ever time at the Walkers Stadium.   

Speaking at the club's weekly press conference to Sky Blue Player, Boothroyd said: "Leicester have got a lot of threats. They're strong in the midfield and with the players they have you would expect them to be up there which is where they are.

"But having said that, games are not played on paper, they're played on grass so we're really looking forward to it."

Boothroyd was asked about the prospect of a game against a side managed by Sven Goran Erikkson and he said; "I'm as excited to be meeting Sven as he probably is about me. His record speaks for itself and he's got a terrific CV.

"I do look forward to meeting him but I won't be taking my autograph book."
