How's the fixtures looking, Oggy?
It's been confirmed that Coventry's opening game of the season will be against last season's relegation-strugglers Hull City. The Tigers just avoided the drop to League One by goal difference last season - but Sky Blues commentator and former goalkeeper Steve Ogrizovic believes it's not guaranteed to be an easy start. Advertisement "Hull are underachievers, I think, they tend to buy in foreign markets. I thought they would have had a better season last year than what they did," Ogrizovic told BBC Radio CWR. "New manager, doubtless number of new players as well. It's an unknown quantity. "But on the face of it, it looks a nice start." Coventry will not face any team that made the top 14 last season in August however, the following month will see them take a short trip to freshly relegated Leicester City before hosting newly promoted Birmingham City in a West Midlands derby. They open September by hosting Norwich City, a team who beat them in both fixtures last season. Advertisement "Coventry can do themselves a lot of good in August if they start well," Ogrizovic added. "But then in September, it really hits you because Norwich are always a difficult fixture. We struggle against them for some reason. "By that time, players are starting to get into the season, they've found their feet. That'll be a truer test of what kind of side we are and what we are going to do that particular year." Listen to Ogrizovic's full thoughts and more on BBC Sounds.
