Coventry U23 form and stats

It's been an uphill battle for Coventry in their home games for quite some time now, as four matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Birmingham U23 game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat. Coventry has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager and the players.
