Stokes - We Are Still Upbeat

Last updated : 07 March 2016 By CNS Staff

Chris Stokes has said that the Coventry City players remain upbeat despite three losses in a week and slipping out of the top six.

Stokes told the Coventry Telegraph at this lunch-time's press conference: "The mood is not great but everyone remains upbeat and positive with 12 games to go.

"We have a game tomorrow night, if we win that we’re back in the play-offs, long way to go and anything can happen.

"I don’t know what the reason is.

"If we knew it would be easy to put it right.

"I don’t think the two week break helped after the Bury win because everyone was buzzing after that and desperate to play again.

"I thought we played better on Saturday and maybe were unlucky on the day.

"It’s not all doom and gloom because one win and we’re back in it.

"We have given ourselves a lot to do because it’s very tight in and around the play-offs but the season’s far from over.

"We’re still right in the mix.

"Sometimes maybe we push a bit too hard at home but we just need to be winning games now.

"Maybe we’ll be more cagey away tomorrow night and hopefully nick a result.”
