The Sky Blues second goal in first half time added on killed the game for City. Up to that point, despite tailing to another poorly defended goal, they had played well and with Coventry down to 10 men a draw was perhaps the least City might have expected against the league leaders. It wasn't to be and with the 5 minutes added on already spent Coventry capitalised or more defensive inadequacy to double their lead.
Rushworth produced some good saves but Coventry played within themselves, a task made easier when Adam Randell was sent off for a second yellow to make it 10-a-side.
Where do City go from here? The play off dream has gone, so too has equalling last season's points total. Maintaining their midtable position is the best City can hope for and that may prove to big an ask.
