No-one blames Elliott Ward, says Jay Tabb
PINT-SIZED midfielder Jay Tabb says that none of the Coventry City team are blaming Elliott Ward after failing to take three points at Sheffield United this week.
Centre-back Ward fired the second half spot kick wide after Malta striker Michael Mifsud had been fouled in the area.
With City winning 1-0 at the time, the penalty would have given the Sky Blues a two-goal cushion.
The Blades - despite going down to ten men, equalised through Billy Sharp and hung on for a hard-earned point.
But Tabb, who scored City's goal in the first half, insists that none of Chris Coleman's squad are blaming Ward for his miss.
He told the club's official site: "Wardy scored some really important penalties for us last season and even though this one didn't go in we still had chances to win the game after so no-one is going to blame him for that," he said.
"He does enough of a good job at the back so one missed penalty doesn't mean to much as far as we're concerned.
"A penalty is just another version of a one-on-one, it's one of those kinds of chqances and players miss them all the time.
"But even so, I though we were the better side throughout the game but unfortunately sometimes it's just the way results go and the point we've got shows that."
