Coventry City may have finished their season, but it’s a perfect time for introspection, to meticulously dissect what went right and where improvements can be made. Despite some impressive accomplishments, such as the exhilarating FA Cup run, their best in 37 years, there is still room for growth.
Some intriguing statistics stand out from the season. Only one player participated in all 46 Championship games, a rare feat since the club’s Premier League days. The team managed to come from behind to win five times, a significant improvement from the previous season. Notably, they gained eighteen points from losing positions, a vast improvement from the previous year’s seven points.
Late goalscoring proved to be a strength, with 23 goals scored after the 80th minute and nine after the 90th minute. However, they also conceded 14 goals in the same period. Discipline remains an area for improvement, as evidenced by Liam Kitching setting a new club record for three red cards in a season.
The season was packed with action, with Coventry City playing 53 competitive games. They gathered 64 points from 46 league games, with both home and away forms showing signs of improvement. The team scored a total of 70 league goals, the seventh best in the division, thanks in part to top scorer Haji Wright. The final position of 9th was a positive outcome, considering the team’s mid-season struggles.
As you peruse the detailed statistics, facts, and figures of the 2023/24 season, meticulously compiled by club statistician Jim Brown, it becomes clear that Coventry City had a season of growth and achievements, with areas of promise for the future.
