A fairly depressing statistic, which sums up Coventry City's lack of fire-power over recent seasons, was revealed on a website a few days ago....

And, while my calculations are slightly different to those offered, they both say the same thing: Coventry City do not score enough goals! ('No S*** Sherlock! No. 3' for the week). 

Presuming soccerbase has got it's stat's correct (And I have no reason to doubt them!), Coventry City have only managed to score three goals or more twenty-two times in 260 league matches (27 times in 288 games if cup matches are included) - and five of those occasions were against Barnsley! Simply not good enough....
