Market

Norman Bassette has said yes to Sion

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Coventry City have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Market

Carl Rushworth asks to leave Coventry City

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market

Sunderland come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Coventry City did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market

Kaine Kesler Hayden says no to Wrexham

“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Kaine Kesler Hayden had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

Boardroom

Coventry City close the window on a squad of their own making

5 in and 3 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Squad

Words exchanged at Coventry City

Taiwo Awoniyi and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

A row about effort at Coventry City

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Frank Onyeka was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Transfer targets

Stevenage tell Coventry City: Carl Piergianni is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Match

Coventry City come up short against Sheffield Wednesday

Sheffield Wednesday left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout

Maeson King: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Coventry City have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Tempers go at Coventry City

Taiwo Awoniyi was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Aurèle Amenda falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match

Taiwo Awoniyi the difference as Coventry City beat Oxford United

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Taiwo Awoniyi. 2‑1 against Oxford United, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

The terraces

Coventry City supporters have found a favourite in Loum Tchaouna

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Loum Tchaouna has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Player ratings

Frank Onyeka was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.39. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Player ratings

Tatsuhiro Sakamoto runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The dugout

A satisfied George Butler

“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 2‑1, George Butler could afford to be generous.

The dugout

The form table has caught Norman Bassette

Somebody else has been better, the manager has said so with a team sheet, and there is no argument to be had. He will get the shirt back the only way it can be got back.
