FOOTBALL - Former England midfielder predicts top-six finish for Coventry City

FORMER England midfielder David Dunn has predicted a top-six finish for Coventry City next season.

Dunn made one appearance for the Three Lions in a friendly against Portugal in September 2002.

The midfielder made more than 450 appearances in his playing career which included spells in the Premier League with Blackburn Rovers and Birmingham City.

He won promotion to the top flight with both clubs and later managed Oldham Athletic and Barrow.

And when asked Coventry’s expectations for the upcoming season, the 45-year-old believes the Sky Blues could compete for the automatic promotion places.

Speaking to OLBG, Dunn said: “I think Coventry City will be there or thereabouts.




“I think they’ll be in the top six.

“I think Frank will probably want to go a little bit higher than they did and try to go for the automatic spots.


“But I think he’s done a fantastic job, a really good job. Not easy.

“Mark Robins did a fantastic job. Real good structure in the club.

“Probably a little bit unfortunate to lose his job but Frank’s coming in and done very well.”
