Pressley Proud Of His Players

Last updated : 25 January 2015 By Covsupport News Service

Whilst Coventry City supporters were unhappy that the Sky Blues failed to win at a side who went into the game bottom of the League One table, Steve Pressley said he was proud of his team.

Jed Steer was only called upon to save a 51st minute Gary Madine penalty and the loanee from Aston Villa had an otherwise easy afternoon as City failed to get what shots they had on target.

Steven Pressley saw it differently to many of the 538 City supporters who spent good money and time making the trek to Somerset and told the Press Association:  "There were many good aspects for an away performance and the penalty was crucial. We countered with good speed, but when you get the penalty you have got to score.

"It was a decisive moment which you could tell by the reaction of their supporters it actually gave their side a lift, then after the penalty for 10-15 minutes and they had a little bit of momentum but we coped well with that and regained our rhythm.

"You can see that both sides at this moment in time aren't brimming with confidence which is understandable. Points like this, clean sheets, not losing helps add to that confidence.

"It gives us a foundation it gives us something to build on and I'm really pleased with the effort of the group, the desire of the group and the mentality and I'm very proud of them."
