Coventry fans react as Aston Villa loanee Callum O’Hare makes his debut

Callum O’Hare made his debut for Coventry City in the 1-0 win over Gillingham. After joining on a season-long loan from Aston Villa earlier this week, O’Hare was thrown into the action straight away.

Mark Robins named O’Hare on the bench as Coventry took on Gillingham in League One. The Sky Blues remained unbeaten with their 1-0 victory which kept them in the play-off zone.

Robins brought the 21-year-old into the action on 67 minutes as he replaced Zain Westbrooke. Coventry were already 1-0 up at that stage, through Dom Hyam’s goal, and O’Hare helped see the game out.

Coventry fans seemed impressed enough by O’Hare’s start in a sky blue shirt. Supporters noted that he is not quite up to full match fitness and he does not have the relationship with his players yet. However, he still showed some promise.

Here are some tweets from Coventry fans discussing O’Hare’s debut.
