Parkinson: We Have To Ensure City's Confidence Stays Dented

Last updated : 22 November 2016 By CNS Sport

Bolton Wanderers manager Phil Parkinson has said his side have to make sure that Coventry City's confidence stays dented.

Parkinson told The Bolton News: “I saw them play against Scunthorpe and they played well – they should have had at least a point from that game.

“You wouldn’t have really guessed which team was at the top that day - that was me and Steve’s (Parkin) assessment.

“They beat Morecambe Tuesday and then went to Oxford and had a terrible 45 minutes. They played a lot better second half and changed the shape.

“It’s two-fold, it has to dent their confidence to a certain degree but it might also bring on a bit of resilience as well.

“We need to make sure that their confidence stays dented and that will only happen if we approach the game in the same way we did against Millwall.”
