    Coventry City Daily Digest: Sunday 25 October 2026

    Fulham won nil one at the Coventry Building Society Arena on Saturday, and Oscar Bobb's goal with ten minutes left was the difference. Today's episode goes through the game as the club's own match report tells it, from Shea Charles's early effort and Josh King hitting the post to Brandon Thomas-Asante's chance from a mishit back pass and Stephen Mfuni's header at a second half corner. Bobby Thomas went off around the hour after a fifty fifty with Alex Iwobi. There is no diagnosis and nothing from the club beyond the match report, so the episode says that and no more. Team news for the record: Frank Lampard named the same starting eleven that began against Tottenham on Monday night, with one change on the bench, Ellis Simms out and Yann Gboho in, Gboho still waiting on a Premier League debut. Gus Hamer was among the substitutes after appearing for the Under twenty ones on Tuesday. The Irish Examiner has Lampard's post match press conference, including his view that Fulham found a moment of quality that Coventry could not find, and that there was no real zip at the top end of the pitch. Alvaro Arbeloa thought his own side are improving and put the game down to the quality of one player in one moment. The defeat leaves Coventry second from bottom, nineteenth, and it is a second defeat in a week. Coventry City Daily Digest is an independent daily podcast for Coventry City supporters, gathered and produced each morning for a five o'clock release. The news in this episode is as at half three this morning. Play up, Sky Blues!

    Coventry City Daily Digest: Saturday 24 October 2026

    Matchday. Fulham at the Coventry Building Society Arena, Saturday 24 October, 3pm kick-off, and it is sold out. The club have opened the Ticket Exchange for it and published the figure behind it: across the Hull, Brighton and Newcastle games an average of 2,218 season ticket holders did not attend each match. They surveyed the supporters who stayed away without listing or forwarding their seat, and nearly a quarter did not know they could list it on the Exchange at all, 16% did not know they could forward it, and 9% were not sure how. Listing stays open until 90 minutes before kick-off and listed seats can be bought right up to kick-off. Fulham and Sunderland are both Category C fixtures. Travel warning for today. Coventry City say West Midlands Railway have told them there will be a reduced service between Leamington Spa and Nuneaton because of traincrew availability, affecting supporters using Coventry Arena station. The club advise checking the service before setting off and considering alternative travel. The matchday shuttle bus from Coventry train station runs as usual, first service at midday. Turnstiles open at 1.30pm. The kiosks are running Halloween specials. The view from the other dugout: VAVEL have Fulham head coach Alvaro Arbeloa saying he has watched all of Coventry's games and calling them very, very competitive, able to combine but quick to get at the box, wide and direct and dangerous on the counter. "They fight for the first ball, they fight for the second ball, they fight for rebounds, they fight for everything." He says you can see the work Lampard is doing with his team, and that Coventry can score from nothing. Two numbers from BBC Sport. After 16 clearances against Newcastle, the second-most by any player in a match this season, and a game-high seven at Tottenham, Bobby Thomas now tops the Premier League for clearances. Less comfortably, the Sky Blues have conceded more than twice as many goals from outside the box as any other team in the league this season. Squad news: defender Tionne Critchlow-Woyo has joined Southern League Premier Central side Stratford Town on a one-month youth loan, having had a spell at Spalding United earlier in the season. Scholar Josh Stidder joins him at Knights Lane on a work experience loan. The CoppaFeel shirt auction is live. Bidding has opened on the signed match-worn and match-issued shirts from the Newcastle game, including those marking Ellis Simms and Milan van Ewijk's 150th appearances. It is hosted by Budds, opening bids are £50 a lot, every shirt is a single piece, and all of the profits go to the charity. It is a timed auction concluding from 7pm on 5 November. Everton away ticket detail: City have the full allocation of 3,001 for Hill Dickinson Stadium, on sale from 10am on Monday 26 October working down through the loyalty points. Adults £30, seniors and young adults £25, under-18s £20, plus a £1 booking fee per ticket. And the matchday programme: 76 pages, £4, with Frank Onyeka the cover star and a sit-down interview about his time at Coventry and his return to the Premier League. Lampard and Matt Grimes preview Fulham inside. The club are marking the Premier League's No Room for Racism campaign today and the programme profiles Cyrille Regis. Bobby Gould looks back at the club's first season in the old First Division, and there is a combined XI of former Coventry and Fulham players. Play up, Sky Blues.

    Coventry City Daily Digest: Friday 23 October 2026

    Frank Lampard's press conference before Saturday's home game with Fulham, reported by BBC Sport. Loum Tchaouna and Yann Gboho were both left out of the squad that travelled to Tottenham Hotspur on Monday and neither is injured: Lampard says both are training and both are fit, and that they are still adapting to what he wants on and off the ball and on and off the pitch. Tchaouna has to understand that, as every player does, and is working towards it; Gboho has talent, that much is certain. There is not always the drama in an omission that people assume, Lampard says, selection is the hardest part of his job, he has no favourites, and players are picked on how they train and how well they suit the game plan. On Josh Eccles, the calf problem has cleared but the ankle has not and is affecting his rehab: Eccles is progressing but has not returned to training on the grass, and Lampard says the ankle has been an annoyance for all of them. Gustavo Hamer asked to play for the Under-21s on Tuesday night because he wanted minutes, which Lampard says he likes a lot, adding that he and his staff have been really impressed with Hamer's work ethic and that he is a good example; Hamer started in midfield and Coventry won 2-0. From the club: the Fan Village is open for Fulham, with the Exhibition Hall open from 12pm and entry via Gate 27 ahead of the 3pm kick-off, bars, food and live music through the hall and Saturday's earlier Premier League game on the big screens. The Museum of Me joins the Fan Village, with up to seven supporters from across Coventry presenting their own museums of objects, photographs and memories and what the Sky Blue Army means to them, among them Louie, who is eight and plays for Copsewood Tigers; Sue, whose dad printed the matchday programmes at Highfield Road and whom Jimmy Hill would always help carry them in; Lewis, co-founder of Proud Sky Blues; and Iqbal, a lifelong fan now unable to get to games because of caring responsibilities. Also on Saturday: the Red Bull Wings Cup, a 1960s Jaguar from Jaguar Heritage Trust, Family Zone activities, and Sky Blues in the Community raising awareness of the Premier League's Together Against Suicide campaign. For Breast Cancer Awareness Month the club has published the stories of three supporters: Sonia, diagnosed earlier this year at 28 and partway through chemotherapy with surgery and radiotherapy still ahead; Sarah, a City fan of 42 years who had breast cancer during the pandemic and says a letter from the club and having the football to focus on helped her through it; and Joanne, whose dad, uncle and dad's friend were all diagnosed, and who says the stigma around male breast cancer leaves men isolated, with many unaware they have breast tissue so that symptoms are ignored and diagnosis comes too late. The club's campaign with CoppaFeel runs to the end of the month. Fulham visit the Coventry Building Society Arena on Saturday 24 October at 3pm, and Lampard reads Fulham as a side that wants the ball whose results are not aligned with their performances.

    Coventry City Daily Digest: Thursday 22 October 2026

    Coventry City's Under-21s beat Swansea City 2-0 on Tuesday night in the Professional Development League, the club's own report calling it a dominant win, with Liam Kelly's side arriving on a run of five wins in six. Gustavo Hamer, who came off the bench at Tottenham Hotspur the night before, started in midfield and Jake Bidwell started as captain, the club saying both dominated the early stages with their experience and leadership clear. Hamer increasingly dropped deep and directed operations alongside Elliot Betjemann, while Bidwell praised centre-backs Tristen Batanwi and Riccardo Di Trolio. Coventry's first goal came from the penalty spot after Harry Gray's shot was palmed down by an outrushing Swansea defender, Betjemann blasting it down the middle as the keeper dived right. Billy-Ray Cullinane then won the ball with a perfectly timed sliding tackle and fizzed a cross to the far post for Joshua Stidder to finish on 71 minutes. Swansea's best moments were a test of Jack Ruddy after 11 minutes and a curling second-half shot from Jones that Ruddy turned round the post. Coventry move up to third, Swansea slip to sixth, and Kelly's side travel to Cardiff City on Tuesday 27 October. The Coventry Observer has Matt Grimes, who has started all seven Premier League games this season, saying there is more belief and confidence about the squad now than on the opening day at Arsenal, that Coventry are starting to believe they belong at this level, and that it is all about learning and adapting. Fulham visit the Coventry Building Society Arena on Saturday 24 October at 3pm. There is no team news yet and nothing from the club on Josh Eccles or Luke Woolfenden.

    Coventry City Daily Digest: Wednesday 21 October 2026

    Coventry City's winning sequence ended at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Monday night, Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 Coventry City. James Maddison curled Spurs ahead after 14 minutes following Mohammed Kudus's run past Jay Dasilva, Jack Rudoni levelled five minutes after the restart from a shot that came back off Brandon Thomas-Asante, and Omar Marmoush restored the lead in the 58th minute after, in the club's own words, appearing to catch Milan van Ewijk in the face as he controlled the ball, with the referee allowing play to continue. Ben Davies made it 3-1 deep into injury time. Frank Lampard, speaking to BBC Sport, described two outstanding goals for Tottenham and called the second questionable because of the arm up in the face, while saying he was very pleased with the performance and that Coventry were in the game to say the least. Jack Rudoni told Sky Sports it was frustrating and that Coventry took the game plan to them well. Lampard had made one change from the Newcastle win, Tatsuhiro Sakamoto replacing Ephron Mason-Clark, with Taiwo Awoniyi back from suspension and Kaine Kesler-Hayden back from injury, both introduced from the bench along with Frank Onyeka, Mason-Clark and Gustavo Hamer. The club has confirmed that two December home fixtures at the Coventry Building Society Arena have been selected for live broadcast on Sky Sports: Ipswich Town is brought forward 24 hours to Tuesday 1 December, 8pm, and Aston Villa moves to Sunday 13 December, 4.30pm. Coventry have also opened registration for a timed auction of signed match-worn and match-issued shirts from the 4-1 win over Newcastle United, with all profits going to CoppaFeel!, including shirts marking Ellis Simms and Milan van Ewijk's 150th appearances. Coventry are 17th after seven games on six points. Fulham, one place and one point below, visit on Saturday.

    Coventry City Daily Digest: Saturday 17 October 2026

    Frank Lampard has won the League Managers Association's Everest Men's Performance of the Week award for Monday's four one against Newcastle United, confirmed by the club on Friday, and he won the same award in February after a three one against Middlesbrough. CoventryLive carry his verdict on Sidiki Cherif, the nineteen year old he calls a bit special and a big signing in our intention and in the expense of it, and report that Kaine Kesler-Hayden is available and hoping for his first matchday squad of the season, with Josh Eccles two or three weeks away and Luke Woolfenden a little longer. Lampard also talks to the same paper about Tatsuhiro Sakamoto, faith, trust, and how he makes the calls on the players he leaves out. And Coventry City join all twenty Premier League clubs behind No Room For Racism, whose two dedicated match rounds run from 17 to 25 October and take in Monday night at Tottenham, with Brandon Thomas-Asante appearing in the campaign's new film. The LMA award and the No Room For Racism item are confirmed by Coventry City. Everything else in this episode is a press report carried by CoventryLive, so nothing here claims independent corroboration. Sources named on air: Coventry City and CoventryLive. Play Up, Sky Blues!

    Coventry City Daily Digest: Friday 16 October 2026

    Frank Lampard met the press ahead of Monday night at Tottenham, and CoventryLive report the smiles of Monday gone and the four one re-analysed with a colder eye: no performance is absolutely complete, and he is always fearful of resting on something and thinking that you have made it. Taiwo Awoniyi is available again after a three match ban, which leaves a selection call on Sidiki Cherif, and Lampard's own answer on it. CoventryLive make the case that the wider game is catching up with Bobby Thomas, who by their count is one of only three Coventry outfield players to have started every league game. And Gordon Strachan, in charge the last time Coventry City were a Premier League club, tells supporters to be patient in the market and warns that it is wages, not fees, that put clubs at financial risk. Every item in this episode is a press report. All four are carried by CoventryLive, so nothing here claims independent corroboration; the Strachan interview was published by Boyle Sports and quoted there. Sources named on air: CoventryLive and Boyle Sports. Play Up, Sky Blues!

    Coventry City Daily Digest: Thursday 15 October 2026

    Frank Lampard on Brandon Thomas-Asante, the forward who came up through Ebbsfleet, Sutton United and Salford and who his manager says now looks every inch a Premier League player. Then the harder thing Lampard said on Monday night, which CoventryLive read as a message to the wider squad: we are a promoted team and we need everybody, and a few lads need to know that. CoventryLive put names to both sides of it, from Tatsu Sakamoto working his socks off to Loum Tchaouna and Yann Gboho not getting on at all. Simon Jordan, on talkSPORT's White and Jordan show, says Doug King deserves the same degree of adulation as the people he employs, and that he never went into the boardroom to drink their Chardonnay either. Plus the selection call building for Tottenham, with Taiwo Awoniyi's suspension served and Sidiki Cherif having taken his chance. Sources named on air: CoventryLive and talkSPORT. Every item in this episode is a press report, carried by one publisher, and is labelled as such in the audio. Play Up, Sky Blues!
