Defender Ethan Pinnock was the latest player to arrive at Coventry earlier this week in a recruitment drive that has amounted to more than £100m on 10 players. On this evidence more investment may be required, particularly at the top end of the pitch, if they are to ensure that this season is not only a brief sojourn in the Premier League after a 25-year absence. While they huffed and puffed against Hull and Awoniyi led the attacking line well, they rarely threatened to score against a well-organised visiting defence.
