Sky Blues defender Joel Latibeaudiere says he and City will learn from the errors which led to their downfall at West Brom.

Coventry lost 2-0 at The Hawthorns to suffer a first defeat under new boss Frank Lampard.

The centre-back told BBC CWR: "It was a tough game. I don't think the scoreline reflects how the game was – West Brom took their chances and we didn't take ours.

"We can take the positives from the game and look to learn but it doesn't matter that we created the chances, we didn't commit and go and take them. We need to look at that and learn from it.

"Between the boxes we are unreal, but games are won and lost in our box and their box. At the moment we aren't winning that battle."

He also revealed he had taken responsibility for the Baggies' second goal, adding: "(Karlan) Grant shifts past me too easily. I'll learn from that and won't let it happen again."

Coventry return to the CBS Arena to host bottom side Hull City on Saturday and Latibeaudiere said it was a perfect chance to bounce back from the disappointment of Wednesday.

"We have a game in two days and that's the beautiful thing," he said. "A chance to correct it, to go and put it right.

"We talk about it all the time, we hate letting the fans down, we just want to get the CBS rocking on Saturday.

"We need to go on a run, start collecting some points and start showing some consistency, because that's what takes you up this league."
