Farcical situation. Absolutely should be docked points.

Saturdays game off as well. Embarrassing.

When are the EFL going to step in here? How far behind do they have to fall before something is done?
They don't hold out much hope of things improving either. They maintain the pitch needs relaying but Wasps won't do it.
Surely some sanction required.

I don't think they will get sanctioned, (although I think they should). Apparently it is not their fault they don't own a ground so have to sofa surf off other clubs.

Disgrace of a situation, can you imagine if it was us in the Prem? We would have been slammed.

Might not be their fault, however why should Huddersfield, Rotherham and Wigan suffer though no fault of their own making.

Coventry's next home game is 31 August against PNE, but given the present farce it wouldn't surprise me if that one also bit the dust.

And this is supposed to be a Championship club, not a tinpot lower league outfit.

Time the EFL showed some mettle and called them out over it.

They need a points deduction now. Oh and be forced to sell Gyorkeres and O’Hare to us would be nice too.
