Coventry City suffered yet another defeat on Monday night.

The Sky Blues have struggled to match their form from last season after they failed to gain promotion to the Premier League with a play-off final defeat to Luton Town.

Mark Robins’ side were one of the most impressive sides in the second division last year as they finished fourth in the table.

But a 2-0 loss on Monday night has consigned the team to a 20th place position in the Championship table.

The gap to the play-offs is now eight points after 14 games, with Albion sitting fifth after their win at the CBS Arena.

Were there positives to take from Coventry City’s loss to West Brom?

Former Coventry player Jobi Jones made the trip to the CBS Arena on Monday evening to cheer on his old club in their defeat to the Baggies.

The 26-year-old was disappointed with the result, but highlighted one positive that supporters should take away from the loss.

“Nice to see some old faces last night [Coventry City],” wrote Jones, via Twitter.

“[Tatsuhiro] Sakamoto is some player.”

Sakamoto featured for all 90 minutes as the team struggled to a 2-0 loss.

Goals from Grady Diangana and Brandon Thomas-Asante sealed all three points for Carlos Corberan’s side, moving them into the play-off places.

But the Japanese attacker stood out as one of Coventry’s better performers and will be frustrated to come away from the game with nothing.

Sakamoto was one of a number of summer signings that arrived following the penalty shootout loss to Luton last May.

He signed from Belgian side KV Oostende, where he made 30 appearances in just one campaign with the club.

The 27-year-old has made five league starts for Robins’ side, and a further six appearances from the bench.
