PMM: Coventry 1-2 Town

Town manager Jim Magilton has praised his team for showing character to take all three points against Coventry today.

Jim: “We were obviously very disappointed with the result and the performance against Stoke at the weekend and were looking to bounce back at Coventry, The lads showed great character to do just that and that tells me something about the players.

 

“The front two worked really hard and deserved their goals and I felt we should have had a penalty in the first-half as well when Alan Lee went over in the box. The defender didn't make any contact with the ball and when he catches Alan it has to be a penalty.

 

“We defended well which is another encouraging sign. Lewis made a couple of good saves for us and overall I have to be happy with the performance.

 

“If there is one criticism it's that we let them back in the game at the end when we were two goals up and should have been looking to show more quality on the ball and catch them on the break.”
