A few years ago three divisions separated these two sides, yet now they are on a level playing field and Bristol City should be tipped as favourites. However, City haven’t enjoyed the start that so many tipped for them, with the Robins languishing just one place above the relegation zone. Coventry on the other hand are probably matching everyone’s expectations and the Sky Blues currently occupy 14th position.
There’s no doubting that the departure of Steve Coppell rocked Bristol City completely, yet still he did leave a very talented squad at new manager Keith Millen’s disposal. Despite that, things just haven’t clicked for Millen and City and one victory, two draws and three defeats will not be classed as satisfactory by supporters. Their latest result will have really frustrated the Ashton Gate faithful after the club lost 2-0 at home to relegation-tipped Watford. Of course, it’s still early days but with Millen having no prior managerial experience, it remains to be seen whether or not he can turn the Robins round and transform them into the promotion chasing club that the fans expect.
Coventry on the other hand have been relatively steady and while their position of 14th may not appear so attractive to some, stability is perhaps something the club needs this term. Their season so far has been made up of two wins, two draws and two defeats giving the grand total of eight points
