Defeat against Swansea was harsh for the Town on Saturday so there will be extra incentive to put things right quickly against a Coventry side who haven’t played a match for 10 days.
Nathan Jones said:
Building on performance against Swansea: “It is definitely something to build on and that is what we have to do. We have to make sure we take the positives from Saturday but improve on the things we need to. The clinical edge is something we lacked.”
On match delays: “We have a number of games now. We had a full week off and now we have two games, the Preston game will probably be the one where fatigue will set in a little bit more, but these are the times we live in.
“It is very unfortunate we have had games that have been called off because they have hindered us. QPR we were in great form, then the game was delayed, and we didn’t quite put in the performance. Exactly the same recently, Rotherham was our game in hand, we wanted to play that and if we did that, we could have gone tenth.”
