The step up is real for Caleb Yirenkyi
At 20 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

A defender's goal wins it for Coventry City — 7.85
1 for Aurèle Amenda, marked 7.85, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Ethan Pinnock 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.

Coventry City see off Ipswich Town
Three points for Coventry City, 2‑1 the final word against Ipswich Town in a contest settled by the finer margins.

The crowd has taken to Aurèle Amenda
At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Loum Tchaouna beats them one at a time
Successful dribbles: 18. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Raphael Borges Rodrigues 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.

Henry Harris on the point
“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Henry Harris after the 0‑0 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

The manager makes an example of Daniel Bentley
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
In brief
