Sky Sports EFL expert Don Goodman says he’s ‘surprised’ and a ‘little bit concerned’ with Coventry City’s start to the season, insisting the club needs to start building momentum soon.
The Sky Blues have lost two of their opening four Championship matches – away at Stoke on the first day and home to Norwich last time out, while drawing at Bristol City and snatching their only victory with a stoppage time winner over league new-comers Oxford United at the CBS Arena.
“They’ll be disappointed with the results, but at the same time, their two defeats have been 1-0 and they’re not being blown away. By the same token, however, if you want promotion, and Coventry do, they’d need to build some winning momentum soon.
“The result against Norwich will hurt the most, as they’ll want the CBS to be a fortress and Norwich hadn’t won a game before that this season. But it’s early days and there won’t be any panic. They had five shots on target, created more big chances and had a better XG than Norwich, so they need to be more clinical.
“I’m not worried for Coventry but if they lose their next couple of games we could be having a different conversation. However, history tells us that we should expect them to start winning games and climbing up the table very soon.”
