We Didn't Do The Basics - Mowbray

Last updated : 24 September 2016 By CNS Sport

Coventry City manager Tony Mowbray has said that his side did not do the basics during their 2-1 defeat at Gillingham.

"We didn't do the basics," said Mowbray to the Press Association. "We disappointed defensively and we didn't deal with them.

"We didn't stand up enough. I've been moaning about goals and now I'm moaning about the defence.

"Maybe it hurts me more because I played there all my career. People are out on that pitch to pay their mortgages and feed their families and it takes a few years to sink in for young players.

"I think we have to realise what it takes to win football games and I don't think we've got to that point yet."
