Gynn backs Sky Blues for cup tonic
Gynn spent 10 years with the Sky Blues between 1983-1993 and was a key member of John Sillett's victorious 1987 side that beat Tottenham 3-2 at Wembley to help clinch the biggest honour in the club's 126-year history.[LNB]And ahead of the third-round trip to Fratton Park, Gynn said: "I would be a lot more optimistic if Coventry were playing at home, especially with the form Portsmouth are in at the moment.[LNB]"I would say they are certainly the favourites whatever side they put out but City have got a good chance of getting a replay which obviously would be ideal - to get them back to the Ricoh and hopefully beat them second time around.[LNB]"Certainly Coventry have got a chance of getting something out of it. Obviously after last year's heroics in the cup they will fancy their chances against Premier League teams and I fancy Coventry to get a draw out of it - 1-1 is my prediction."[LNB]Asked what effect Pompey's current financial uncertainty will have on Coventry's chances, Gynn replied: "Without question I think it helps, obviously with them getting a bit of a pasting at home to Arsenal as well, confidence wise they've got to be at rock bottom."[LNB][LNB]
