Poor in defeat
Awoniyi generated one shot (zero on goal) in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Manchester City.
Analysis: Awoniyi was played out of the match entirely during Saturday's loss. He failed to get anything going throughout the match and was shut out of the match by City's marking. This is a very difficult match so it's hard to say that Awoniyi is off to a bad start this season, but his performance is worth watching in more winnable matches.
Generates four shots
Awoniyi had four shots (two on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 1-0 loss against Hull City.
Analysis: Awoniyi was Coventry's biggest attacking threat, producing a team-high four shots with two on target, including a close-range effort that forced a strong save from Konstatinos Tzolakis. He remains without a goal through the opening two matches, but his ability to consistently find shooting positions is encouraging. Awoniyi's physical presence and movement inside the penalty area should make him the focal point of Coventry's attack throughout the season.
