We Deserved A Draw - Cotterill

Last updated : 05 February 2014 By Covsupport News Service

Bristol City manager Steve Cotterill felt that his side deserved a draw rather than the 2-1 defeat to Coventry City.

Spekaing to the Bristol Post, Cotterill replied when asked if his side were worth a draw: “Definitely. I feel we did enough to merit that.

“Had Sam Baldock’s shot gone in, it would have been one of the goals of the season. It would definitely have put us back in the game.

“I thought we pinned them in there in the second half and, overall, I felt we deserved at least a point from the game. We’ve had enough balls that have whizzed across the goal in the second half and we have to be more ruthless in those situations.

“We’ve made a mistake from a throw-in for the first goal and the second one has come from a corner.

“It doesn’t matter how well you play, if you don’t defend from corners and throw-ins, you are going to be in trouble.

"There is a recurring theme with the goals we are conceding this season and it doesn’t matter what formation we play or who is on the pitch. We always seem to have to dig ourselves out of a hole.

“It’s demoralising for the players, because they put in a hard shift and end up with nothing.”
