At this stage of the season, we are usually biting our fingernails profusely as City fight for results to avoid relegation. Ahead of Tuesday night’s clash at home to Lincoln City, supporters shared a sense of anticipation and nerves were rife, but with a place in the play-offs to play for on this occasion. While this one fixture wouldn’t guarantee either side a spot in the top seven, three points would ease the pressure somewhat.
However, as we all know, it isn’t the Coventry City way to make life easy for ourselves. Instead, we mustered up one of the worst defensive performances imaginable to become the masters of our downfall. Conceding in the first minute wasn’t ideal, but nothing could’ve been done about that one as a long kick eventually dropped to Matt Rhead. The bustling forward ended up thundering one into the top corner from range with Lee Burge at full stretch. Fair enough, good strike, move on.
