You Have To Hit The Target - Maddison

Last updated : 04 May 2015 By Covsupport News Service

Coventry City's James Maddison has said that you have to hit the target after his goal ensured that the Sky Blues stayed in League One with a 2-1 win at Crawley Town.

Maddison told the Coventry Telegraph's Andy Turner abut his 90th minute goal:“It wasn’t the greatest when we went a goal down, to be honest, but the manager put me on and I managed to play a part in us winning the game.

“He told me to go and be creative and play my game by hurting them because we needed a goal and didn’t want to be relying on anyone else to secure our safety. And it was a great feeling to put one in the back of the net.”

“Frank Nouble did really well and got to the by-line and he was shaping up to shoot and I was screaming at him because I’d run about 40 yards to get to him.

“He was looking at the goalie and I didn’t think he’d seen me. But he was just conning the keeper and he reversed it back to me, showing great vision.

 “I was confident. I knew I just needed to get a good contact on it and with just a defender in the way I knew if I put it mid height just to his side that he couldn’t use his hands.

“I would probably have put it low if there was a keeper in the goal because he’d have to get down.

“You have to hit the target and that’s when you have to have a cool head and be calm, which is what I did.”
