Former Premier League striker Charlie Austin has expressed his concerns about Coventry City's disappointing start to the 2022-2023 season. The Sky Blues have suffered a devastating 5-0 home defeat to Brighton, becoming only the second side in Premier League history to lose their first four matches without scoring a goal. Austin, speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast, emphasized the importance of getting points on the board early on, warning that failure to do so can lead to a swift decline in the team's position in the table.
He stated that while Coventry are a "very good team," they are not yet a "very good Premier League team," and the gap between the EFL and the Premier League is too significant for the Sky Blues to bridge. Austin warned that the team's lack of goals and points could quickly become a major concern for fans and the club, urging them to start finding the net soon.
