Flowers On City Cup Win

Last updated : 29 August 2007 By Covsupport

Tim Flowers told the club website after the Sky Blues 2-0 win at Carlisle: "It was a potential banana skin and we knew it was going to be a tough game, but we prepared thoroughly and had their last three games watched so we're delighted with the result.

"It was a very professional performance and we did what we sat out to achieve, which was to be in the hat for the next round. "We had a bit of a scare early on when we allowed their strikers to much space to get a shot in, but after that I thought we took control of the game and could have scored more goals than we did.

"Michael took his goals really well. He's like a little mosquito buzzing around and once he gets in behind defenders they aren't going to catch him - he was a threat all night.

"I was also pleased with the players who came in - Andy Marshall has two clean-sheets from two games this season now, Ben Turner and Ellery Cairo had run-outs and again we're in the nice position of having a selection headache for Saturday."

The draw will be made at 12.15pm on Saturday lunch time.
