Callum O’Hare can provide Mark Robins with a clear solution to the urgent problem in Coventry City.

Coventry City story from CoventryLive: Callum O’Hare’s comeback might allow Mark Robins to execute a brilliant midfield pivot.

Even though Coventry City wasn’t playing at its best on Tuesday night, Mark Robins’ team managed to win for the second time in a row thanks to Haji Wright.

The Championship match provided almost little for the neutral, as Wright emerged victorious in a contentious manner. The Sky Blues will take it even though it appeared to be out of play before Milan van Ewijk recovered the ball.

But, as has been the case frequently this season, Coventry’s lack of originality and flare was evident. The “engine room” is manned by Josh Eccles, Ben Sheaf, and Jamie Allen in midfield, but they are missing something.

After rupturing his ACL on Boxing Day, Callum O’Hare kept working toward his goal of being fully fit. The 25-year-old has appeared in five of the last six games after missing the first 12 of the campaign.

The midfielder was substituted at the 0-0 mark against Plymouth after starting the game on the bench in Saturday’s 3-0 victory against Millwall. Even though he had nothing to do with the winner, his introduction gave the CBS Arena a much-needed boost of excitement.

O’Hare moved to the right wing to take Tatsuhiro Sakamoto’s place. According to FutMob, he made two opportunities and completed 87% of his passes, but there is a clear adjustment that might have a big impact over the Christmas season.

The three midfield players’ similarities were too evident at times on Tuesday. O’Hare might be crucial if he were to be brought into the middle. Robins emphasized that O’Hare made an impression when he moved centrally after the game.

O’Hare has gained notoriety for playing in the attacking midfield position since relocating to Coventry. In actuality, he has played from a center position in 88 of his 151 outings.

Following the match, Robins acknowledged that his team needs to improve if they want to move up the league. Their game’s slow tempo and decision-making were emphasized following Plymouth.

For the holiday season, O’Hara should be shooed into midfield to unleash his attacking inventiveness.
