"We'll be trying to accumulate another three points on Saturday," said the boss. "We're in a good position, we've lost one in 16, and we're well placed.

"We'd have liked to have turned some of the draws into wins, but it's a tight division. We are where we are on merit, and we have an opportunity to kick on for the rest of the season.

"We'd have taken this at the start of the season, now we have to push on,"

"I watched them (Coventry) against QPR a couple of weeks ago when they played well, but came away with nothing," he said.

"They have players who are capable of winning games and Aidy (Boothroyd) plays a certain way which can make things difficult.

"I think they are playing better than their results have shown, so we certainly won't be underestimating them."

Aidy Boothroyd (Coventry Manager) Pre Leeds vs Coventry, Coventry Telegraph 04/02/2011

“Elland Road – that’s a nice easy one on the back of the run we’ve been having,” he joked.

“It’s a fantastic football arena but it’s certainly no place for cowards or shirkers. Going to a place like that and facing that screaming mob takes some bottle – and I’m absolutely dying for it.

"At times like this you find out what you’re all about. It’s very easy to take the pats on the back and the plaudits when you’re on a roll, but when a bit of adversity comes your way you’ve got to be able to deal with that as well

“The signs are there that we’re not that far away.

"We’ve played well against the best sides in this league, entertained and scored goals, but we’ve been punished for making silly errors.

"We weren’t making those errors in the early part of the season, so we’ve got to get back to those basics.

“Against Leeds at the Ricoh we didn’t get started for 20 minutes but after that we laid siege to their goal for long periods.

"I thought Forest were there for the taking the other night and the pressure we put them under in the last 20 minutes shows how close we are.

“There’s certainly not a chasm of class. We’ve been done by one goal in so many games and they’ve been tight because we’re always in it, we’re always at it, we’re always likely to score. The important thing is how we learn from those experiences.


Carl Baker (Coventry City), Pre LUFC v CCFC Fixture, CCFC Official Website 03/02/2011

"To be honest the Leeds game will be the best kind of game to have because it will be a big crowd, big atmosphere and a chance for us all to pull together,"

"We're still scoring goals to win games but we're not getting the cleans sheets like we were earlier in the season so going to Leeds now is a great game for us.

"It was a good fixture with them at home earlier in the season and because of the way that game went we feel like we've got a point to prove."
