Macca will stand by keeper

Debec allowed a low 25 yard effort from Bradford midfielder Paul Evans to squirm through his legs in the 25th minute of the game at The Bradford & Bingley stadium.

"I'll stand by him. It's a fact that when a goalkeeper makes a bad blunder it's punished severely.

There's been some high profile ones in the last few weeks but it's just one of those things," said the Sky Blues boss.

"It's freaky, if you watch him train you can see he's a quality keeper, and I'll stand by him and definitely start him next time out.

"I think he was looking to find a throw, looking to pick a pass with his hands but he's got to save it first."

Coventry clawed their way back into the game and Jay Bothroyd's goal seven minutes from time earned them a share of the spoils and kept them well in touch with the sides at the top of the first division table.
