‘Let that sink in for a second’ – Coventry City numbers up and preparing for life after Callum O’Hare
Coventry City match analysis from CoventryLive as Sky Blues reporter Andy Turner looks at some of the big talking points from Good Friday’s 3-1 win at Huddersfield
Coventry City kept pace with the Championship’s promotion chasing pack with a Good Friday win at Huddersfield Town that moved them up a place to
seventh, albeit still four points off sixth placed Norwich – their main rival for what looks like the last available play-off spot, barring an almighty collapse from fifth placed West Brom.
Ellis Simms continued his hot goal scoring streak with an early brace making for a comfortable first half before the Sky Blues sat deeper and deeper after the break when goalkeeper Brad Collins gifted the home side a goal with a poor pass out of his area in a game in which he pulled off several decent saves.
Rhys Healey’s reply 11 minutes from time made for a nervous end to the game until Haji Wright secured the full three points with a terrific 94th minute left foot finish in front of the 2,223 travelling fans. Here are some of the big talking points from the 3-1 win at the John Smith’s Stadium.
Oh ye of little faith
Ellis Simms had more than his fair share of doubters during his first six months of his City career. Bagging his third brace of the season to help sink Huddersfield, the 23-year-old has now scored more goals in all competitions in 2024 than any other player in England’s top four tiers with 13 goals in 18 games – 12 of which have come in his last nine!
