Review
Well that was good to watch and necessary. Everyone played better today, especially Joe Worrall and Brice Samba. Glenn Murray made his debut from the bench and might need a few games to get his pace up, but it's good to get an away win and good to win when coming from behind for the first time in over a year!
Stats:
Due to Coronavirus regulations, the game was played behind closed doors and the official attendance was 0.
First win after going behind in over a year. (Last was at home to Luton on Jan 19, 2020)
The game was played at Birmingham City's ground (St. Andrews) as Coventry were ground-sharing this season.
