Wolves manager O'Neil welcomes Coventry FA Cup draw

Wolves manager Gary O'Neil praised the importance of the club's supporters last night.

The Premier League side moved into the FA Cup quarter finals, where they will meet Coventry City.

O'Neil has a big chance to take his team into the semis, given Coventry are a Championship side.

He stated post-game: “Of course [there are tougher draws], you could get Man City away, Liverpool away, so there are tough games, but I've seen quite a bit of Coventry and they play some fantastic stuff, so to play them here, in front of our fans, there will be huge expectation on us, but it won't be easy. It definitely won't be easy.

“The lads will know how I feel about that game straight away, and we'll be really clear on how we approach it. We've not been fantastic against teams who are below is in the league this season, so it's going to be a really tough game.

“We've got a few more really important games between now and then as well – the lads have to go to Newcastle in two days' time and it's crazy really, a crazy schedule, but we'll recover and we'll do our best to go to St James' Park and see if we can get another result."
