Tactical Analysis: Mark Robins’ Promotion-Chasing Coventry City

Heading into the 2021/22 Championship campaign, the vast majority of prediction tables were identical in personnel when it came to the teams expected to finish from 1st to 4th: Bournemouth, Fulham, West Brom and Sheffield United. But whilst the table’s top end is accurate for three of the...

Good read.

Really interesting the stats show we tend to be more threatening when we have less of the ball. Optimised by the 34% possession we had in the second half vs Fulham. Bodes well for tomorrow, Sheffield United had majority of possession in all their games so far.

Yeah, well if you look at a lot of our goals this season, they're breakaway goals where we quickly go from front to back. We don't score that many where we're trying to probe with a lot of possession.

Haven't read that article yet (but will do later, thanks for posting), but I saw something the other day that says we are one of the quickest teams in attack in terms of progressing up the pitch. So we're definitely good on the break.

We have seen that when the opponent sits back our final ball/decision making can be lacking sometimes despite our dominance of possession.

Disappointingly, there is no stat on there for the percentage of 'if in doubt, clear it out' moments.

Noticed that this is a bit of a trend recently - most teams who have less of the ball win. Assume it’s a bit more sophisticated than in time gone by.

Really good read. That last stat about McFadzean is incredible. I’d all but written him off last season, and thought we’d need to replace him to move forward, but he’s been better than ever this year.

From my decades of Football Manager I can confidently say that Robins is employing play out from the back and vertical tiki taka.

Hasn’t it always been true that what you do with possession (quality) is more important than how much possession you have (quantity) ? The article suggests that when we get on a role we’re deadly; Fulham second half being the best example
