What the record shows

The clearest recorded pattern is: Coventry City's last-five goals scored average is below their season average. A second useful context is: Coventry City's shot volume and the opposing shot-allowance context sit above their competition baselines. Limitation: Evidence is usable but does not meet the strongest completeness threshold.
