Dobbie keeps Swans on course
Stephen Dobbie fired Swansea up to second in the npower Championship with the only goal of the game to see off unfortunate Coventry.
The visitors were firmly in the ascendancy in the opening quarter but the Sky Blues took hold from then onwards and were ultimately made to pay for a lack of killer instinct in the final third.
The engaging encounter could well have taken a different path had Swans goalkeeper Dorus de Vries been punished for tugging the shirt of Lukas Jutkiewicz at the start of the second half, with a penalty and possible red card waved away by referee Keith Stroud.
Swansea gave warning of their threat in the 74th minute as Dobbie, Luke Moore and Scott Sinclair combined to hit the woodwork an amazing three times in one move.
And Dobbie made no mistake two minutes later as he pounced from 12 yards to round off a well-worked move, leaving the visitors to close the game out and Coventry boss Aidy Boothroyd wondering what might have been.
