Lee Martin has stressed the importance of building on the midweek win over West Ham, as Town prepare to face Coventry tomorrow.

The midfielder was amongst the goals as Blues convincingly beat the Hammers 5-1 on Tuesday evening and now the former Manchester United man wants Town to build on the result.

"It will be another tough game, we know that, but now it's about maintaining a little bit of consistency," Lee told the Club website.

"We all enjoyed Tuesday night and there's a lot of confidence in the squad after such a good win.

"Now we need to take that into the Coventry game and try and take a result from there, to move us further away from the bottom and help us start climbing up the table over the second-half of the season."

Team news

Lee Bowyer is likely to be Town's only absentee for the trip to Coventry, with the experienced midfielder still struggling with the groin injury that has kept sidelined recently. Paul Jewell must decided whether the recall the returning Alex McCarthy, after the completion of his suspension, or stick with Arran Lee-Barrett in goal. Recent signing Ryan Stevenson could be included in the travelling party.

Coventry boss Andy Thorn is likely to include new loan signing Oliver Norwood in his matchday squad, with the midfielder checking into the Ricoh Arena on loan from Manchester United for the rest of the season. Defender Richard Keogh is also likely to be included, with the former Carlisle man having started his career with Town before being released at 16.

Connections

There are numerous players over the years to have worn the Blue of Town and the Sky Blue of Coventry, most notably including Alan Brazil, Darren Currie, Terry Butcher, Colin Healy, John O'Rourke, James Scowcroft and Steve Sedgley.

Current Town stopper Arran Lee-Barrett had a spell with the Sky Blues earlier in his career, but failed to make an appearance. The Ipswich-born 'keeper has made seven league appearances for Blues this campaign.

Whilst there will also be a familiar face in the Coventry ranks tomorrow afternoon. Hermann Hreidarsson recently joined Coventry from Portsmouth on a deal until the end of the season.

The Icelandic defender became a hugely popular figure during his three-year stint at Portman Road, after joining the Club in 2000.
