Two successive away draws at quite difficult venues is no mean feat but it has to be looked at in the context of the fact that we've now won only 3 of our last 18 and this us why we are in a perilous position towards the foot of the table.
There are many positives to draw from the 1-1 draw at the CBS Arena, not least the fact that Zak Vyner is looking an accomplished Championship defender alongside Rob Atkinson who has responded positively to the "tough love" comments of his manager. Throw in the improving form of Cam Pring and increasing confidence of Max O'Leary and you have evidence of a defence that is at last coming together as a unit.
It is elsewhere on the field that City's problems lie and whilst Semenyo looks to be returning to his best with strong running and a tidy finish for his 4th of the season it is Andi Weimann's lack of sharpness in front of goal that is concerning and reflects that perhaps last season's form was a one off. Midfield too appears to be lacking in terms of creativity and maybe Alex Scott should be given a rest as he doesn't look right now the player we know he can be.
Ian, Mark & DaveP review the action and what might happen in the transfer window now that it's open.
Today's intro music is because I was reminded of 70s group Tavares when Coventry brought on one of their subs who had the same name!!
