Joel Latibeaudiere Calls for Learning After West Brom Defeat

Joel Latibeaudiere, a defender for the Sky Blues, stated that he and Coventry City intend to learn from the mistakes that contributed to their loss against West Brom. Coventry experienced a 2-0 defeat at The Hawthorns, marking their initial loss under new manager Frank Lampard. The centre-back conveyed to BBC CWR: “It was a tough game. I don’t think the scoreline reflects how the game was – West Brom took their chances and we didn’t take ours. “We can take the positives from the game and look to learn but it doesn’t matter that we created the chances, we didn’t commit and go and take them. We need to look at that and learn from it.” He continued: “Between the boxes we are unreal, but games are won and lost in our box and their box. At the moment we aren’t winning that battle.” Latibeaudiere also disclosed that he accepted accountability for the Baggies’ second goal, stating: “(Karlan) Grant shifts past me too easily. I’ll learn from that and won’t let it happen again.” Coventry is scheduled to return to the CBS Arena on Saturday to host Hull City, currently at the bottom of the league table. Latibeaudiere described this as an ideal opportunity to recover from the disappointment experienced on Wednesday. “We have a game in two days and that’s the beautiful thing,” he commented. “A chance to correct it, to go and put it right.” He added: “We talk about it all the time, we hate letting the fans down, we just want to get the CBS rocking on Saturday.” Latibeaudiere concluded: “We need to go on a run, start collecting some points and start showing some consistency, because that’s what takes you up this league.”
