Mowbray: Ramage Wants To Play So I Let HIm Go

Last updated : 23 March 2016 By CNS Staff

Coventry City manager Tony Mowbray has said that Peter Ramage wants to play games, so he let him leave on loan to Leyton Orient.

Speaking about letting Ramage leave. Mowbray told the Coventry Telegraph's Andy Turner: “For me, he had an opportunity in the three games he played and I watched him very closely, saw what he does.

“He was fantastic on our training pitch because he has a great voice, is a good lad but at this level, the way we like to expend – particularly if we’re attacking and chasing the game a little bit – I felt as if he was maybe finding it difficult to play as I wanted when I leave the defenders exposed a bit at times. And that’s OK.

“I had a good chat with him and he wants to play because he’s coming to the end of his career and it’s no good sitting on our bench hoping to get a game.

“He was an absolute credit to his profession and yet I felt it was the right thing to let him go and play some football.

“It does leave us a little bit thin at the back, of course, but I wouldn’t put our club in jeopardy.”
