Why does he think beating Coventry would be a 'massive upset'? We're both League Two teams with zero points in the league table. Sounds a bit of an odd way of thinking on the first day of a new season to me. Thoughts?

I didn't pick up on that, Swale. I guess the conventional wisdom says that Cov are a lower league version of Blackburn and the expectation is that they will turn the club around and head back up the charts, but Notts are simply malingerers these days.Originally Posted by SwalePie

In Nicky Hunts comment is the reason there are no WOW signings. The WOW signings probably have the same opinion which is why they are WOWING elsewhere!

So we are approaching the game with an underdog mentality. Great!

Are Coventry any good? I have absolutely no idea.

That's what I meant really, until just before 5pm on Saturday nobody has so much as a clue who's good this season.

Probably not but it's hard to equate them with the 4th tier. I was into my 30s when I could still say that they'd been a top flight club for the duration of my entire lifetime, as well as few years beforehand. They seemed every bit as an obvious Premier League outfit as Arsenal, Everton and Liverpool. It was however down to us that they didn't miss out on playing in the first season of the Premier League in 1992, they would have gone down had we lost to Luton on the final day.
We're well over due a draw away to Coventry having not had one down there since 1962. I think we'd all take that right now but who really has any idea what to expect from either team? A 4-0 win for either side shouldn't be a huge shock.

Even then... I remember after our 1-1 away draw with Preston on the opening day of the 2014/15 season, thinking we were in for a pretty respectable season...

Funnily enough we were just talking about that. Preston equalised in injury time and ultimately those two points lost cost us big time

I read somewhere that somebody had done a final table prediction and Coventry were third. Having said that they had Mansfield at the top and us 6th
