Steven Pressley: 'Coventry City lacked hunger'

Coventry City manager Steven Pressley has launched a scathing attack on his squad after their 3-0 defeat away to Notts County in League One.

First-half goals from Hayden Mullins and Jimmy Spencer saw the Meadow Lane outfit race into a 2-0 lead, before a second-half penalty by Alan Sheehan made the scoreline safe for the Pies.

Pressley told reporters: "It isn't often I say this about my own team but they looked hungrier than us.

"I always talk about the intensity of our game and today, especially in the first half, it wasn't good enough. You can plan the game as much as possible, do all the work and research but on the day, it requires a performance from the side and it wasn't there.

"I expect more from the players and I'm sure the players expect a lot more from themselves."

Coventry currently occupy 12th place in the League One table.
