20 years on from the 3rd Round tie against Bolton Wanderers that kickstarted the greatest six months in Coventry City history, how Micky Adams, his team and the long-suffering fans could do with something similar, starting at Bristol City on Saturday.
The home side however are flying high in League One and have an impressive record at Ashton Gate, losing just once in the league there this season.
Micky Adams: 'Going on current form I think we go down there as underdogs.
'It is a big game and one which we have all got to look forward to.
'The boys have got to be up for it because Bristol are a confident team at the minute.
'Luckily for me, I saw them earlier in the season, so we know what to expect.'
Bristol City manager Gary Johnson: 'Micky Adams is a good manager and he will always come through because he is thick-skinned, like most of us have to be.
'He had a good spell there and now they are going through an unfortunate period.
'But he's a fighter and he will be hanging on in there and I have got every confidence he will turn it around.'
