More Threat Needed - Hockaday

Last updated : 16 February 2015 By Covsupport News Service

Coventry City coach David Hockaday has said that the Sky Blues need to be more of a threat in front of goal.

In far too many games this season, the opposition keeper has had an easy time of it and Hockaday, who helps Steven Pressley and Neil MacFarlane at first team matches as well as coaching the U21's team, who are in action on Thursday, said to the Coventry Telegraph's Andy Turner: "They are a very honest and fit group and I don’t feel they are getting the rub of the green at the moment.

“They can knock the ball about, play it and retain it and it’s very obvious that we need to be testing the opposition goalkeeper more and putting the ball in the back of the net more.

“The two games I’ve been involved in, we really should have come away with four points against Preston and Scunthorpe.

"It wasn’t the way and that’s how it goes when you are down near the bottom of the league, so we have to keep working hard. They are an incredibly honest group who work with massive intensity.

“We just need more threat, more purpose in the attacking third, and that’s what we’re working on.”
