Adebola: Coventry will be no pushovers

DELE Adebola has warned that former club Coventry will be no pushovers, despite their lowly league position in the Championship.

Forest will be hoping to get back to winning ways away from home, following their 2-1 success over Sheffield Wednesday at the City Ground.

But the Sky Blues have lost only three times at the Ricoh Arena this season.

And striker Adebola warned: "Coventry do like to get the ball down when they can, but they are also a battling side.

"They are not in the position they would like to be, so it is important to them.

"They always seem to have a good home record and it is never an easy game. It is a derby of sorts and will be a tough game."

Adebola spent close to five years with Coventry, before signing for Bristol City in January 2008.

"I spent a good few years at Coventry, it will be good to see a few familiar faces," he said.

"I still know a few of the players there. It is only two years since I left.

"I am surprised to see them where they are. You can never quite put your finger on what has gone wrong there, because they started the season really well.

"They are a good side with good players and I am sure something will click for them eventually. Hopefully, that will not be tonight."
