I like Coventry and think he is a decent player at what he does. I’m sure he will have a good career. He is being scapegoated imo for other shortcomings in our midfield. Which by the way would look so much better with Dobson still in it unfortunately whatever went on at the club has cost us without doubt and people saying the replacements are a step up are putting a new meaning to SPIN 😂
I completely disagree that the midfield would look that much better with Dobson in it honestly. He himself would look very good, in fact he'd probably BE very good to be fair but he'd struggle to make much impact with the likes of Docherty and Campbell as his supporting act. He'd be forced back pretty much entirely into a firefighting/defensive role by default, which he'd excel at... but we still wouldn't be creating much.
If we had Taylor/Coventry/Dobson in place of Coventry/Docherty/Campbell we'd probably be better off but that ship had sailed before Jones even came in.

Most people have said he’s our best midfielder - that doesn’t suggest “scapegoating” .
I cannot stress the importance of this man. I know he goes under the radar a bit, and I really hope I don't jinx it, but to have a player of this quality, who rarely puts a bad performance in, can play week in, week out, for 90 minutes, is an absolute God send.
I am really appreciative of a player like Coventry who gives his all, and is always available. Very happy he got his first goal, and hopefully that's something he can improve on for his game going forwards.
An absolute shoe in so far for my player of the season, and he's a really lovely bloke to go with it as well, a lot of time for him.
Well done whoever was the main factor in getting this man in, our key player.

It's not just that he can get through the 90 minutes, in the last 10 he was sprinting to press their players on the ball way up the pitch so they didn't have a chance to set themselves for a ball in or build up any steam. He'd run all over the pitch the whole game and he would have been within his rights to be pretty knackered but he was so sharp all game. Even his reaction to pounce on the rebound of his first shot was the sign of a player who has an incredible engine and desire to make things happen. If we had three more midfielders with as much willingness to press aggressively like that we might actually start winning the midfield battle.

We all bemoan the lack of flair and creativity in the side and rightly so but it's not because of players like Coventry who does his job extremely well. His role isn't one that lends itself to catching the eye through specific moments of technique or spectacular goals etc but he is probably the only one coming out with any credit at the moment.
I think he has been class this last month. Really stands out to me. Literally everywhere on the pitch chasing down everything. There was a moment today where he was involved winning the ball on the left side of the pitch, then the camera panned out for a quick second then to the right hand side and he was there again. Proper engine

Hope he gets on to win a full cap this time, a great honour for him, his family and his club.
