    For a while it looked like Stoke City would do to Coventry what has so often been done to them this season - namely, steal a point from a dominant side left to regret missed chances.

    In the end, they suffered a late defeat that felt eerily similar to what happened in the same fixture last season.

    Coventry have a better first XI and better depth than Stoke, partly due to the injury crisis the Potters have long been dealing with and partly due to the quality of the Sky Blues' recruitment.

    They are top of the league for a reason and much like Leeds last year, give Stoke a blueprint for future success.

    Like Leeds, they combine technique and confidence in possession with a physicality and athleticism at the top end of the pitch that few teams at this level can live with.

    Four of Stoke's missing players should be back in training this week and with 11 games to go the club may already have half an eye on next season.

    Stoke City head coach Mark Robins spoke to BBC Radio Stoke following their 2-1 defeat at Championship leaders Coventry City.

    "We didn't deserve anything because we were really poor," he said.

    "We didn't get going in the first half, I thought we didn't get close enough to them, we didn't get any real contact on them and we gave them the freedom of the park to be fair.

    "Tommy made some really good saves in the first half that kept us in it.

    "We got a goal back and got back into the game. In the second half we were much better. And when it gets to the stage that it did, you just have to see the game out.

    "Tommy has to learn to come out and clear the whole lot out. If he does that, we draw the game potentially, but also you have to have the help, support and communication around you."
