Post match Coventry reaction

Coventry boss Chris Coleman:

"We were 1-0 up but if you're looking at us nowadays, 1-0 is never enough to win the game because we've been conceding goals. But I thought we showed tremendous spirit again.

"Away from home, we didn't lie down at 2-1 and we didn't have a good start to the second half either, they could have gone further in front, but we rode our luck.

"But I felt that equaliser was coming - it was great when it did eventually come. A point away from home is always good but if you can get the three, thanks very much."

Malky Mackay, felt his side should have had the game wrapped up before Coventry launched their fightback.

"I think we had possibly the most number of clear-cut chances that we've had, certainly at Vicarage Road this season," said Mackay.

"I felt we had enough chances to win two games, but if you don't take your chances then that's what happens.

The Scot refused to criticise his inexperienced defence for the manner in which Best was able to score two straightforward goals, pointing out: "I think we lose as a team, we win as a team.

"I thought for 10 or 15 minutes we stopped doing what we had been doing the whole first half, in terms of the gameplan we had, and I think it became an aerial bombardment and when balls are bouncing about your box then there's always a chance goals are going to go in.

"But credit to them, they fought back, but even with those goals going in I can remember at least six chances in the second half where normally we would have scored."
