Coventry defender William Edjenguele says that the Sky Blues must focus on replicating their fine recent away form on home soil at the Ricoh Arena.

Tuesday night's 3-1 win at Colchester took their haul of away goals to eight in four days as they made it three successive league wins on the road.

By contrast, the Sky Blues have just won two home league games this season.

"We're a good team but so far only the away fans know that," Edjenguele told BBC Coventry & Warwickshire.

"We have to show the same energy and quality at home.

"We're in good form as a team. David McGoldrick is scoring goals and we are playing as a unit at the back right now, which is good to see."
Edjenguele headed his first goal for the club in the win over Colchester and added: "I'm enjoying myself on the pitch and I hope that will continue.

"But we have to play the same way at home as we do in away games and do what we have been doing for the away fans."

After climbing to 15th in the table on the back of their away record - 14 of their 23 points have come on the road - Coventry now face four home games in a row.

Saturday's visit of Portsmouth is followed by the League One visit of Walsall on 8 December, with cup games against Morecambe and Sheffield United sandwiched in between.

And Sky Blues manager Mark Robins is refusing to let his side rest on their laurels.

"We're keeping our feet firmly on the floor," he said.

"We've got some good players and now they're starting to believe it. I'm proud of them.

"That's exactly what we're looking for. We put in a good performance and scored some good goals on Tuesday night."

2 wins out of 9 home games is where we need to show improvement, that's the only way we're gonna have a chance of making further strides up the table.

Exactly. 2 wins out of 9 at home form is going to get us nowhere.

Before we think of any giddy heights we have to get that bit right first.

We have two of the easier home games next. If we win both of them we will have more home points than away.

Not had a look but have we played the better teams at home and the lower teams away?

Not really, a mixture of both home and away. When you consider we drew against Bury, and have been beaten by Carlisle, Scunthorpe and Bournemouth (pre- Howe ad they were below us).

We beat Bournemouth, 1-0 McG set by Ball, who changed the game.

Two of the easier games? Like Scunny perhaps? How dreadful were they supposed to be!
