A Fair Result - Whitney

Last updated : 29 October 2016 By CNS Sport

Walsall boss Jon Whitney felt his side's 1-1 draw against Coventry City at the Banks' Stadium was a fair result.

Whitney told the Wolverhampton Express & Star: “It was a fair result - I think it was two good teams playing the right way.

“It keeps the unbeaten run going to six – and one defeat in 10. I’m pleased from the lads and it’s good that we’ve come back from behind.

“I thought the first half was a bit of a stalemate, a bit of a chess game and I was disappointed with their goal because I thought it was quite cheap but we responded well after the break.

“Coventry are an in-form team. Mark (Venus) has got them playing well, with a bit of confidence and they are a danger. We didn’t underestimate them. We knew it would be a really close game.

“It was one of them where you had to keep your discipline and a bit of individual skill would get you something.

“It so happens that Erhun’s individual skill just got us back on level terms whereas if we could just have been a little tighter first half, it could have been a 1-0 win for us.”
