Coventry earned their first Championship point of the season with a goalless draw against Watford at the Ricoh Arena. Coventry chief Andy Thorn said: "We rode our luck a bit in the first half but the goal was a mile offside and I was pleased with that because that was something we had worked on.
"We had to change our system back to a diamond in the first half because Watford came here well organised. We had a good chat at half-time and I thought we played really well in the second half.
"On another day, we might have nicked one but I thought it was a fair result overall and was quite an entertaining 0-0. That's a nice platform for us to build on.
"I have had another look at the penalty shouts - and I don't think any of them are!"
Watford counterpart Sean Dyche said: "I thought our first call for a penalty was as near definite as can be and the second one was definite. But I have to say, the officials do a good job and have a tough job.
"In the first half we had some good chances - some golden chances - and you can only believe that once the cork comes out of the bottle that it will all start to flow.
"We could be sitting here with five points and that would be a decent little start but my job is to get us playing effective football that wins us matches. We are looking to strengthen but within our market - which is different to a lot of other clubs in this division."
