OPTIMISM IS HIGH AT SKY BLUES

WITH news of the signing of Joe Cole on loan, the positivity around the Ricoh Stadium was apparent from the off with the home side keen to feed off of this.

Sky Blues boss Tony Mowbray has got an excellent blend of youth and experience and they never allowed Blackpool to settle but will be frustrated they didn’t take their chances. If they can add an end product they will have a promotion challenge on their hands.

Blackpool boss Neil McDonald will be disappointed with his side’s performance coming off the back of two wins, though they did show glimpses, particularly in the final third but will be pleased to take a point.

The Seasiders face a long season ahead if they continue to get out worked and out muscled in the middle of the park.
