Wigan Will Be A Real Challenge - Mowbray

Last updated : 07 April 2016 By CNS Staff

Coventry City manager Tony Mowbray has said that Saturday's trip to Wigan Athletic will provide a real challenge for his side.

Speaking about Saturday's game at the DW Stadium, Mowbray told the Coventry Telegraph's Andy Turner about the visit to the League leaders: I would imagine they’ll win it now.

“They have got good players, recruited some of the best players out of this league, some players out of the Championship and had some good players already.

“They won the FA Cup only three years ago and their salary levels must be seven or eight times bigger than ours and, ultimately, you get better players if you can pay more money.

“That doesn’t mean we can’t go there and beat them, of course. It’s a real challenge and I have already said to the players they should go and look forward to it, go and express ourselves and let them feel our quality.

“I’m sure it will be a nice pitch and it should be a good game for us. Sometimes you look forward to these games and then their quality counts on the pitch but we got a good result on the opening day of the season so we have nothing to fear. And yet they have changed the team a bit, brought a few players in.

“I think it’s a tactical challenge. We still feel as if we’re a decent team from the way we have played in the last three or four games. We haven’t scored the goals to prove that but we have probably been the dominant sides in the games and haven’t got the rewards, for whatever reason.”
