Coventry 3-0 Barnsley: Post Match Reaction

Last updated : 23 October 2010 By Rob Miles (BarnsleyBoy)

"The preparation was not ideal and we did not get here until almost 2.30pm. Despite that I thought we started ok.

"Coventry are probably the biggest and most physical side in the division and we had to deal with that. We lost Bobby Hassell before the game to injury and we probably needed him and his experience today.

"We did not really create too much going forward in the first half but you have to win tackles in the game and we did not do that. We were not bright enough in that respect and our two defensive midfielders did not really work. We changed that back in the second half and we started to do better and create a couple of things.

"We came into the game after losing again away from home and we needed to stay in the match. We did not do that.

"We tried to push forward in the second half and we did find a bit of impetus. It is disappointing and obviously difficult to sit here and be positive when you have been beaten again away from home.

"We have to go back to the drawing board away from home. Results have been shocking and I have to take accountability for that. We have to come to places like this and be stronger. We were bullied today and that is not something I am used to".
