Market

The Birmingham deal is off

Everything was agreed until it was not, and Brad Collins reports back to Coventry City with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.

Squad

Words at Coventry City training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Frank Onyeka is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad

Victor Torp in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Coventry City this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Coventry City share the spoils with Norwich City

A 1‑1 draw with Norwich City leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Squad

“I want to play”: Norman Bassette speaks

“I respect the manager and I am not going to sit here and pretend I am happy.” It is the most common sentence in football and it has never once been the end of a story.

Squad

A Coventry City teenager takes the young player award

Yang Min-Hyeok is 20, and for one weekend he was the best of everybody his age in the division. Nobody should build a career on it and everybody quietly does.

Player ratings

Both of them Yang Min-Hyeok's — 8.45

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.45, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Market

Greg Sandiford 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.

Match

Coventry City make it 4 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Coventry City have 4 straight wins of it.

Market

Haji Wright wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Coventry City hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Squad

Frank Onyeka in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Coventry City this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Coventry City find a way past Portsmouth

Portsmouth made Coventry City work for it, but the scoreboard read 3‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad

Words at Coventry City training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Matt Grimes is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad

Matt Grimes gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad

Coventry City lose Tristen Batanwi

24 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.
