McDonald: A Foul Cost Us In The End

Last updated : 14 March 2016 By CNS Staff

Blackpool manager Neil McDonald felt that it was only a foul on former City loanne keeper not being given that stopped his side getting something from their game with Coventry City on Saturday.

Speaking about the 1-0 loss, McDonald said to his club's website: "There was not a lot between the teams. They're fighting for promotion and we're trying to get out of the bottom and it's a set-play, which I think was a foul, that has cost us in the end. Colin's blocked off by Fortune and he then puts it in the back of the net with a free shot.

"The game certainly wasn't free-flowing, at this stage of the season it's not probably going to be that. We have to battle, scrap and fight for every point that we possibly can. We didn't get that help today with the foul on Colin.

"I'd like to thank the fans because they stayed behind the team and could see the players were trying, but we must try that little bit harder.

"Nobody has won today to open the gap so it's a lost opportunity for us. If we'd have got something from the game it would have pushed us closer to everyone else.

"We've got 10 cup finals coming up now and we must stay strong and keep believing in what we're doing."
