“I believe” – Pundit makes Coventry City Mark Robins prediction amid growing unrest.

Pundit and former England international Carlton Palmer has backed Mark Robins to turn things around at Coventry City and recover from a disappointing start to the 2024/25 Championship campaign.

The Sky Blues were widely tipped among the promotion reckoning heading into the new season, with many supporters fancying their chances after years of steady progression and a breathtaking run to last term’s FA Cup semi-finals.

Coventry supporters in particular had good reason to be excited, although they have been left underwhelmed by their side’s inability to get up to speed so far.

City have won just twice from their opening nine matches of the season, with three of the last four ending in defeat. Coventry’s latest loss came on Saturday afternoon, where they were beaten on home turf by Sheffield Wednesday with Shea Charles scoring a 93rd-minute winner.

They now find themselves in 20th position, just three points above bottom-placed Cardiff City.

However, Coventry are still only eight points away from the play-offs and they have been tipped to return to the right end of the division as the season goes on by Palmer, who also believes that the growing division surrounding Robins’ future at the club should be put to rest.

Despite Coventry’s rough patch of form, they have been predicted to enjoy a turnaround and propel themselves back towards the play-offs. Supporters are beginning to ask serious questions of long-serving manager Robins, who has inspired his side’s successful recent history, but Palmer has stated that there should not be any uncertainty or unrest regarding his tenure.

“Coventry City are on eight points, only two places above the relegation zone but equally they’re only eight points off the play-offs,” Palmer told Football League World.

“Obviously Coventry are in 20th position in the league. I was at the game on the weekend and everybody knows I’m a massive Sheffield Wednesday supporter, I thought Coventry didn’t deserve to lose the game.

“Wednesday will feel that they’ve been unlucky this season and should have more points on the board, but whenever I watch a game I go off goalkeepers and who has been busier.
