Supporters sharing their views after five matches largely believe Coventry City have what it takes to avoid relegation from the Premier League.
Coventry City supporters have given their verdict on the team's Premier League survival chances following the opening five matches of the campaign, and the mood is largely optimistic.
One fan, Nick, said he had no doubt the squad was good enough to stay in the division once manager Frank Lampard settled on his best formation, adding that the depth available allowed for tactical changes at key moments.
Paul, a supporter of 60 years, noted that Coventry were notoriously slow starters and pointed to the club's first win as a reason for confidence, even suggesting a top-six finish was possible. Andy was more cautious, predicting the team would survive but warning of a long, hard season in which home form would be decisive.
