Steven Pressley “very impressed” by Fleetwood Town showing

He will be without right-back Conor McLaughlin, who could play for Northern Ireland against Finland on Sunday evening after being named in their squad despite being suspended for the clash with Greece at Windsor Park.

One change that could be made is to give the youngster Ash Hunter a staring role tomorrow afternoon after the 19 year old came off the bench to grab the winning goal against Shrewsbury.

The Scot was sacked by City in February of previous year after a disastrous run of results left them in the relegation zone of League One.

Reda Johnson should be involved after being rested for the long Tuesday trip along with Romain Vincelot, who had an operation in the summer.

Both sides have had a contrast in fortunes this season which is reflected in the league position of the 2 clubs. Fleetwood sit 23rd in the table with just nine points from their opening 11 games, and haven’t won in seven outings – losing in the last four.

Steven Pressley is pleased with what he’s seen of Fleetwood Town and believes he has the materials to craft a winning side.

Steven Pressley checked into heartbreak hotel as a late own goal ensured his career as Fleetwood Town boss began in defeat.

“I’ve got great memories there, a fantastic raport”, Pressley told the Blackpool Gazette. This, despite the hard circumstances the club faced during his tenure.

“We showed good mobility and a threat beyond that”.

“But in terms of the players trying to adapt to the new principles I thought they did very well”. They picked up a terrific win against Shrewsbury at the weekend and seem to be playing with confidence at the moment. Coventry have really been stung by the worldwide call ups to both Armstrong and Kent who have recently been City’s prominent attacking weapon since Kent joined the club from Liverpool.

“But there are a few very good young players here and the senior players impressed as well”.
