COVENTRY UNITED COACH HARRY BARNES COMMENTS ON THE DEFEAT BY BOLDMERE ST MICHAELS...

HARRY: honest as ever...

"Hi Pete; sorry about not sending things lately. If you're still interested, here's the report for last night...

Having lost to Coleshill, ending our winning streak since Terry took over, the whole team knew we had to bounce back with a win. After starting well on Saturday against Wulfrunians and going 1-0 up, that game ended after an horrific leg break to Josh Shepherd and we wish him the best of luck.

This meant we'd have to wait until last night to put things right and unfortunately that never happened. I can imagine the game not being the most entertaining for any supporters, as both teams looked quite poor.

Only 2 chances fell to us in the first-half: the first being a Boldmere St Michaels defender almost lobbing his own goalkeeper, who came outside the box to try and clear the ball. Unfortunately the referee didn't award the handball that stopped it going in and gave a corner instead. The goalkeeper then made another good save from Kai.

2nd half was similar with not enough created in front of goal and Boldmere's 2nd shot on target of the game was a great one and curled into the top corner.

Sadly there was no reaction from the lads and this lead to going 2-0 down. 

Gutted to lose a game that we really should be winning, but it's as simple as taking however few chances you get and that's what Boldmere did. 

FA Cup on Saturday to redeem ourselves..."
