Premier League is 'a whole different ball game'

[Getty Images] On the latest episode of BBC CWR's Sky Blues Fancast, Coventry supporter Heather Mills spoke about a "watchable" playing style as the newly promoted side prepare for their first season in the Premier League for 25 years. "The way we played last season was incredible. We surpassed any expectations that any of us had. Now it's a whole different ball game," said Mills. "We're in the Premier League and teams aren't going to know what we are about to begin with. In some ways, it is quite good that we have got Manchester City and Arsenal early. "They will do their homework but I still think we have got the ability and opportunity to maybe surprise them a little bit with our playing style, which was very watchable last year and got us the results we needed in the Championship. "Will it do the same in the Premier League? I don't know. We've got an opener at home against Hull City which I would like to think is three points and we kick on from there." BBC CWR sports editor Rob Gurney added: "Buying talent and potential is one thing but you do need some course-and-distance players in the Premier League. "Whether [owner and chairman] Doug King likes that model or not, if they are going to make a reasonable fist of staying up, then they need some course-and-distance players who have done it at that level for a fairly sustained period of time."
