Football League pundit Ali Maxwell believes questions need to start being asked at Coventry City, as the Sky Blues continue to falter at the start of the season.
Mark Robins’ side went down 2-1 to Swansea City at the weekend, in a result that leaves them with just one win from their opening six matches of the season.
After ending the previous campaign with just one point from the final 18 available, there has been a continued malaise with City as of late, with their only league win of the season coming against Oxford United in their first home match of the campaign.
With so many attacking players at their disposal, Maxwell believes the results should turn around soon for the Midlands outfit, although concerns are starting to be raised as performances continue to be below par.
Ali Maxwell voices Coventry City concerns after Swansea City defeat
After predicting that City would be pushing for an automatic promotion spot before the season began, Not The Top 20 co-host Maxwell has been concerned with what he has seen from the Sky Blues of late.
With six goals in as many games to start the season, Robins will have expected much more from an attacking standpoint so far in the current campaign, with the likes of Haji Wright and Ellis Simms yet to discover their form from the previous 12 months.
First-half goals from Liam Cullen and Oli Cooper put the Swans into an early two-goal lead at the weekend, before an own goal from Ronald halved the deficit ten minutes before the break.
The defeat to the Swans leaves Cov with just five points from six matches as it stands, and Maxwell is getting to the point where he is starting to grow concerns over the former Premier League side.
Speaking on the Not The Top 20 Podcast, he said: “This is an extension of a frustrating start to the Championship season, and there is mitigating circumstances, and there are excuses for it, for sure.
