The Tigers slump to another away defeat - 5 April the last win on the road. It is not the result or performance that's of greatest concern to the travelling fans but keeping this squad together before the transfer window closes.

With the club under transfer restrictions, fans are desperate not to lose Saturday's captain Charlie Hughes. Coventry are keen on the centre-half and have allegedly had a third bid rejected. This follows the departure of Sean McLoughlin to Blackburn back in July.

With gaping holes in the defence in the opening 45 minutes against Bristol City, you are left wondering how they will plug the leaky defence if he leaves. They have conceded seven goals in the last two matches.

At the other end of the pitch, Joel Ndala and David Akintola are frighteningly quick and seem like decent signings alongside the nuisance Ollie McBurnie.

Scoring goals won't be the problem but keeping them out will.
