'Too easy for Preston'published at 16:42 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February
Coventry 2-1 Preston
Steve Ogrizovic
Ex-Coventry City goalkeeper on BBC CWR
It's too easy for Preston. Players shouldn't be able to get shots away like this.
We can't afford to be sloppy at the back again or else we'll be throwing these points away.

Coventry 2-0 Preston
Steve Ogrizovic
Ex-Coventry City goalkeeper on BBC CWR
I'm still wondering how we aren't 3-0 up, especially after some of our recent chances.
We seem to be lacking something going forward.

Tough day for Blackburn and caretaker David Lowe.
