Boothroyd – They’re Nothing To Be Afraid Of

The Coventry City manager will come face to face as well with his Swansea City counterpart – just a few weeks before the two of them line up side by side to try and climb Mount Kiliminjaro.

“Depending on the result I’ll either be helping him up the mountain or throwing him off it” joked Boothroyd

“I was on a couple of courses with him and we were both youth team coaches so I know him from that and obviously he followed me in at Watford but the only time I have only crossed swords with him professionally was when we went to the Liberty Stadium in September.

“We showed them far too much respect that night and then awarded them a second goal at the start of the second half when Martin Cranie’s back pass went astray.

“But after that it was pretty much all us – we gave it a real go, dominated proceedings in the second half and were disappointed not to get something out of the game.

“They’re a good side of course they are but they’re nothing to be afraid of – like every team in the Championshop they’ve got strengths and weaknesses and we exposed those weaknesses at their place just as they exposed outs.

“We know it’s going to be a tough game but I can’t think of any easy games in this division.”
