    Nicky Hunt pre-Coventry comments

    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.

    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.

    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

    You could do a final table prediction yourself and put us top and Mansfield relegated.
