Doug King insists Coventry City’s target this season is making the Championship play-offs again, saying he’s “excited” after the club find themselves in a prime position to push for promotion in the last 20 games of the season.
The Sky Blues’ owner admitted, however, that the club “failed a little bit” in bedding the new players into their new environment amid a sluggish start to the campaign. But Mark Robins men are now perfectly poised to kick-on towards May after a successful festive period when they took 10 points from a possible 12 to lift them up to eighth in the league, just three points off sixth spot.
Speaking on talkSPORT, King was asked by host Jim White how he assesses his first 12 months at the club, to which he answered: “Pretty thrilling, to be fair. Obviously we went on an incredible run into the play-off final in May and it was as close as you can get to getting to where we want to get to. Obviously it didn’t quite materialise. That’s life. We had major rebuilding in the summer and over the last 10 games or so the boys have gelled together really well and we find ourselves in a good position heading into 2024.”
