Last updated : 21 April 2017 By CNS Sport

Walsall boss Jon Whitney has said that he is exepecting the game against Coventry City to be disrupted.

The draw against Charlton Athletic on Good Friday was disrupted by flying pigs as City and Charlton supporters made it be known that they are pig sick of the owners and those running the club.

Speaking to the Express & Star, Whitney said: 

“I think it is going to be very stop-start.

“I think they are going to use this to make a big statement, Coventry fans.

“They will try to probably get the Walsall fans into that as well. There will probably be a few pigs thrown on.

“We are expecting that and we’ve even put that into our training, we’ve even had some stop-starts in training.

“My players can do that. Whatever they throw at us, we will take it.

“It’s difficult for (Coventry boss) Mark (Robins), but they’re unbeaten in four at home,” said Whitney.

“There’s still a lot of young players there playing for contracts, and Mark will be looking to build momentum for next year.
