We Are Aware Of Coventry Threat - Smith

Last updated : 02 January 2015 By Covsupport News Service

Walsall manager Dean Smith has said he is aware of the threat posed by Coventry City.

Speaking to the Walsall club website, Smith said: "We get 2015 underway with the visit of Coventry City. It's a local derby and a game that we are looking forward to as we aim to get back into winning ways on home soil following the disappointment on Boxing Day.

There is no doubt that Coventry have some good players in their side and we are well aware of the threats that they possess. They have been through a lot off-the-pitch, but Steven Pressley has made them a hard team to beat, as we found at their place at the end of November.

We go into the game with a fully fit squad to choose from, with the exception of Sam Mantom, although the news on him is encouraging. His brace is off now and he will spend the next ten days or so working with Jon Whitney before he returns to training with the rest of the group."
