S4 E1: What the Foxes?
The Sky Blue Army took to the M69 to face Leicester for their opening game of the Season.
The Sky Blue Army travelled in their thousands (under βWelcome bannersβ) along the M69 to face Leicester City for their opening game of the new Championship Season.
Coventry City hadnβt won away to their Midlands rivals since 2001 and the last time these two teams faced each other in the league was 2012. The anticipation of the return of this fixture was high amongst the travelling fans.
On this episode (recorded Haji Wright style, in a bush!) Lorna Bailey is joined from the Fancast team by Anthony to look back on the match and the return to football.
Youβll also hear from special guest, YouTuber Benjamin Bloom, as he gives his post-match thoughts. Also on this episode - the Manager Mark Robins and the Coventry City goal scorer Kyle McFadzean.
For a while it had looked like last season's beaten Championship play-off finalists were on course for a deserved three points when they led through Kyle 's 47th-minute opener from a near-post corner but that was before Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall struck two late goals and the relegated Foxes began their life back in the Championship with a win.
Lorna and Anthony discuss what could have been with the missed chances as well as the performance of the new players including Bobby Thomas and new record signing Haji Wright.
The Fancast will also look ahead to the midweek EFL Cup fixture on the road to Wimbledon and the opening Championship home game of the season against Middlesbrough on Saturday August 12th.
