We Can Stay Up - Sillett

Last updated : 30 December 2011 By Covsupport News Service

Coventry City Life President John Sillett believes City can defy the odds and stay up.  

Speaking to Sky Blue Player, the former player, coach and manager said: "There will certainly be no complacency from the side. Andy won the game on Monday with his changes, which worked very well and I think the crowd saw that.

"They have been superb with Andy and backed him all the way

"I know a lot has gone on this season, but what matters now is what happens on the field. It is in everyone's interest that we pull clear and I think we can.

"We had a history of beating the odds when we were in the top division and we need to summon up that feeling again.

"I remember when I took over that we had to win two out of three - but we managed it.

"This is a very hard division but apart from Southampton, I don't think there is a lot to choose between sides.

"West Ham are up there but we had them rocking and on the ropes. If we had managed to land a punch we would have won the game."
