Blades Must Be Positive - Clough

Last updated : 20 February 2015 By @blades_mad1889

Like United Coventry City will be eager to earn maximum points but for different reasons. The Sky Blues currently sit one point better off from the chasing pack in the relegation zone and would be a nightmare for the club if they were to find themselves in the bottom four come final whistle on 4 May. The Blades meanwhile are 5th in the table and are making all valient attempts at chasing the top two who are currently 11 points ahead before this weekend's fixtures.

The Blades manager believes that this season (and this time last season) are comparable to were the S2 club were at this time last season.

Clough told sufc.co.uk; "Coventry will be coming desperate not to lose the game, they will fight and scrap for everything and we know that because 12 months ago we were in a very similar position. "It isn't nice when you are at the wrong end of the table and struggling for a win, but if you can get a 0-0 away from home that gives you something to build on and from there you look to nick games by the odd goal. "They will probably be a little nervous and apprehensive at present though, we were last season, so we have to try and capitalise on that and use it to our advantage throughout the game. "But what we mustn't do is give away anything that will give them some belief or confidence, we have been very clinical of late and that must continue, especially on an afternoon when we might have to be patient."

Tickets for the game are priced at Catagory B prices (from £18.00 adults, £10 concessions and £7 juniors) and can be bought online at; www.sufc.talent-sport.co.uk
