Steven Pressley challenges Callum Wilson to continue form

Pressley challenges Wilson to continue form

Coventry City boss Steven Pressley has challenged Callum Wilson to maintain his early-season goalscoring form.

The 21-year-old has scored three times for the club this season, but Pressley has challenged the youngster to maintain that standard throughout the campaign.

"Scoring goals is obviously a striker's main job but our style means that we need them to be pressing the opposition, disrupting their game at every opportunity," he told the Coventry Telegraph.

"Callum and Leon [Clarke] have really bought into that culture and I'm particularly delighted for Callum because he's had a lot of injury setbacks in his career and he's waited a long time to get a run in the first team.

"I've told him how pleased I am with his efforts but I've also told him that he can't afford to sit back and think he's made it. Every time he raises the bar he sets himself a new target. That's how young players improve and he's certainly shown that he will accept that challenge."

French striker Mathieu Manset recently joined the club on a free transfer.
