Mowbray Apologises After City Fall Short

Last updated : 08 May 2016 By CNS Staff

Coventry City manager Tony Mowbray has apologised to the City supporters for his team having a miserable January, February and March which saw them eventually drop out of the play-off places.

Speaking after his side finished eighth following a 2-0 win at Oldham, Mowbray said to the Coventry Telegraph's Andy Turner: “An apology really. I’m sorry we fell away after Christmas when we had nearly 18,000 for a home game and were getting people excited.

“We are disappointed. It’s a progression on last season, finishing eighth as opposed to a last-day victory to stay up, but we set our targets high and we’ve fallen just short.

“Next year eighth is the minimum that we will require – we’ve got to push on because we’ve got to get this club out of the league.

“I know what a big club this is because I’m of an age. Some of the young players don’t know that but I hope the supporters will stick with us next season because we’re trying to build a team that will get this club back to where it needs to be.

“There will be bad days but if we all stick together we’ll get there in the end. And the people who travelled today were fantastic again.”
