AFC Wimbledon boss Neil Ardley felt that his side were poor in their 1-1 draw against Coventry City.
Ardley told Anthony Scales of London On-line about the 1-1 draw which saw substitute Jodi Jones give City who sent on Yakubu, the lead in the 71st minute before Paul Robinson equalised with fifteen seconds of the match left: “We know we didn’t play well.
“I can’t hide from that fact. We missed Tom [Elliott, suspended] and we tried to go with pace with Lyle [Taylor], Dom [Poleon] and Barchy [Andy Barcham]. But they defended deep – they’re big and we struggled to get hold of the ball.
“Second half, we tried to play with a bit more width but again they did a good job and we didn’t have enough flair, creativity and knowhow to open them up and create chances.
“We never got our fans going at all tonight, we wanted to give them something to cheer about but we were poor.
“We’ve played awful today. “I can’t disguise it as anything else, and we played pretty poor for a large part of Saturday but we haven’t been beaten.
“So there’s something, where we have the spirit that this club loves and demands, and we’ll just keep going and we can take something from it. We’re trying to build and we’re trying to at least put those points on the board and ensure we are a League One club next season.”
