'Exciting times ahead' despite Burnley loss - Eccles

Coventry City midfielder Josh Eccles said there are "exciting times" ahead despite the loss at Burnley and a three-week wait for a new head coach to be appointed.

The Sky Blues fell to a 2-0 defeat at Turf Moor on Tuesday night in temporary boss Rhys Carr's third game in charge since Mark Robins was sacked.

Eccles said it was a "disappointing" result but doesn't believe a lack of certainty at the club has impacted recent performances.

"I wouldn't say it's affected the boys," Eccles told BBC Radio CWR's Sky Blues Fancast.

"I think the coaches and staff here have kept us at ease. Rhys has been tremendous, and he said if I hear anything, I'll be the first one to tell you.

"We're still waiting. It's exciting times, but who knows what can happen and when."

Eccles said Coventry have the "fighting spirit" to keep going even when they fall a goal behind and is already looking to the next game against Cardiff on Saturday to bounce back.

"They're below us, so it's going to be a massive six-pointer, shall we say," Eccles added.

"I feel like we've got to take the anger and disappointment out of this game and put it to the game on Saturday. We've got to go and smash them.

"Obviously, it's at home, so we know we're going to have the fans backing us and put on a good performance and get the three points and see if we can get the clean sheet as well."
