EFL pundit’s ‘kiss of death’ fears and Coventry City boss ‘deserves to be in conversation’
Coventry City news from CoventryLive as former Sky Blues striker and EFL pundit Clinton Morrison assesses the team’s progress after stuttering start to campaign and lauds the job done by Mark Robins
EFL pundit Clinton Morrison fears he has put the ‘kiss of death’ on his former club after tipping Coventry City for the play-offs.
The former Sky Blues striker, who scored 23 goals in 101 appearances over two Championship seasons between 2008 and 2010, admits he had concerns after seeing Mark Robins’ men suffer their second defeat in their opening four league games last time out. The 45-year-old, however, has total confidence in the experienced manager and the strength of this season’s squad following a busy summer in the transfer window.
Asked if he’s had to adjust his view on how the Sky Blues will do this season after two defeats, one win and a draw in the opening league games, Morrison told CoventryLive via 10bet: “I’m always positive about Coventry’s chances, especially with Mark Robins in charge.
“Although after they lost at home to Norwich, I was thinking to myself, ‘I hope I haven’t given them the kiss of death by tipping them for the play-offs.”
“Brandon Thomas-Asante has come in from West Bromwich Albion and he’s been joined by Ephron Mason-Clark from Peterborough. I think they’re both good players that will do well in the Championship this season. Jack Rudoni is a good signing.
“I was surprised that the club sold Kasey Palmer to Hull City. I think Kasey is a very good player and was one of the stars of Coventry’s team last season.
“Haji Wright is a good player. Ellis Sims, he’s shown what he can do. I think that Milan van Ewijk is one of the best right backs in the division. He loves getting forward.”
He concluded: “Coventry have enough. They’ve got a lot of good options, and they’ve got a good manager in Mark Robins.”
