I hope this doesn’t seriously come back to bite me later in the season but I think we might be looking at a different Coventry.
Now throughout my years of watching Cov there seems to be a trend of weak mentality installed in the players. Going a goal behind normally means a loss and the usual Christmas slump seems inevitable. But this season I feel it’s different and Pompey, Blackpool And Oxford show that. Pompey was terrific I personally expected a loss and to draw with 9 men after being 3-1 down. On Saturday when Blackpool scored their second part of me worried that we would roll over and get smashed 4-0 but we rallied and came back and beat a quality side. Oxford away of course is disappointing now you look at it but normally we are the team that is battering someone and somehow loses 2-0 but we were winning that game despite being under pressure. The character shown to get back in front is great albeit didn’t last long but it’s still a positive I think.
