The 2015-16 campaign was a season of soaring hope and ultimate frustration for Coventry City, as The Sky Blues finished a respectable 8th in League One. The season, led by manager Tony Mowbray, was defined by a stunning start and a prolific attack, briefly topping the table in November after an 11-match unbeaten run, the club's best since 1967. Spearheading the charge was the sensational young loanee Adam Armstrong, whose 20 league goals earned him a reputation as a lethal finisher and proved decisive in a campaign also featuring a memorable 6-0 thrashing of Bury. However, a mid-season slump saw the club's genuine promotion challenge fade, making it a memorable year remembered for its initial promise and the thrilling attacking performances that ultimately fell short of the play-off spots.
