Draw 'disappointing' but still a point - Grimes
- Published
Coventry City midfielder Matt Grimes says Monday night's 1-1 draw with Hull City was "disappointing" but keeps them on track to reach the Championship play-offs.
The 29-year-old put the Sky Blues ahead just after half-time with a deflected effort for his first goal for the club since joining from Swansea City in January.
But Abu Kamara squeezed in a late equaliser for the Tigers to deny Coventry from moving five points clear of seventh-placed West Bromwich Albion.
"Obviously it's a tough place to come with them fighting for what they're fighting for at this stage of the season," Grimes told BBC CWR.
"But [I'm] disappointed in the end to draw the game. I thought we had enough chances at 1-0 to get the second and then disappointed to concede a soft goal like that.
"But it's a point in the right direction, so we move on."
Grimes says he is "hopeful" Coventry can finish in a top-six spot but is wary that "everyone at this stage of the season is playing for something".
"I think we play two teams fighting for the top six and two trying to avoid relegation, so every game is so tough," he said.
Frank Lampard's side welcome the Baggies on Good Friday for a vital game in the play-off race with Albion three points behind before travelling to Plymouth and Luton.
"Every game is a big game," Grimes added.
"I don't think it's going to hinge on one game. We just need to keep being consistent and keep doing what we're doing."
