Venus: We Didn't Test Their Keeper Enough

Last updated : 26 November 2016 By CNS Sport

Coventry City Interim Manager & Otium Director Mark Venus has said that his side did not test the keeper enough during the 2-1 defeat to MK Dons at the Ricoh Arena this afternoon.

Venus told Billie Marshall: “I think we put a lot of effort in the game and competed really well to get into some good positions, but we didn’t test their ‘keeper enough.

“Scoring goals has been a problem for the last twenty or so games and unless we change in that aspect we’re not going to improve. I think we put them under pressure and were the team on the front foot. 
 
“We had the most threatening positions, but as far as literal goal mouth action they probably scored with their first attack and couldn’t take advantage of good positions.
 
“There have been a few lows recently, after a couple of highs before that, but that is football. You get judged by everybody and that is understandable in the position we are,”
 
“I’m not downhearted. This is a big football club and we’ve got to keep going, we’ve got to get some more points on the board and get away from the bottom of the league.”
