Coventry City manager Steven Pressley has described his side's 2-1 defeat at Scunthorpe United as a 'bitterly disappointing' defeat.
Pressley told the Coventry Telegraph's Alan Poole: “It’s a bitterly disappointing result because I said at half-time that even with ten men there were no excuses – we go out and win the game – and I think we deserved more. We should have had a penalty right at the end – I’ve seen it on the tape and their player definitely throws out an arm to block Danny Swanson’s shot and I popped my head round the referee’s door to tell him that.
“I really feel for the players because it breaks the run of games when we had a a chance to kick on. When you’ve gone seven without defeat you want to make it eight, nine, ten because it’s a long way back to zero.
“But as a group they were truly magnificent – their work ethic and togetherness is phenomenal and we stuck to our principles – our ball retention was excellent even though we were the ones playing a man short and I thought we looked the fitter side at the end.”
