Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. Coventry City FC host West Bromwich Albion FC — let the battle begin!
  • 5' Viktor Gyokeres is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Coventry City FC so far.
  • 10' West Bromwich Albion FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
  • 20' The 28-year-old Grady Diangana has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 25' Both keepers have barely been tested. Coventry City FC and West Bromwich Albion FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 30' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Ben Sheaf suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' A quiet spell here at Coventry Building Society Arena. Coventry City FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 40' Coventry City FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 45' West Bromwich Albion FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 50' It looks surprising Coventry City FC does not make any changes. Taylor Gardner-Hickman has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

  • 56' The whistle greets Matt Phillips as he departs to be replaced by Jayson Molumby.

  • 63' Another substitution for Coventry City FC to replace Jamie Allen by Kasey Palmer on 63 minute.
  • 64' Jack Burroughs picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 66' A change in the West Bromwich Albion FC ranks — Brandon Thomas-Asante exits the field as Daryl Dike enters on 66.
  • 71' The energy levels are beginning to show. Mark Robins might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 76' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 81' Jonathan Panzo, a England defender, has 4 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 84' Liam Kelly gets the nod from Coventry City FC. He replaces Gustavo Hamer and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 85' The referee has no hesitation. Jake Bidwell is booked for Coventry City FC — Yellow card on 85.
  • 90' The Coventry City FC manager makes a substitution. Callum O'Hare departs to be replaced by Fabio Tavares.
