Three points lost - Johnson

07 February 2010 11:31
Bristol City boss Gary Johnson felt his side had done more than enough to win following their 1-1 draw against Coventry. David Bell's first Championship goal of the season just after half-time looked to have given the Sky Blues a fortunate victory, but substitute David Clarkson fired home eight minutes from time to salvage a point for the Robins. Johnson said: "In the end we did more than enough to win. There were plenty of opportunities as the game went on and we didn't quite show the quality to take them. "We lost Jamal Campbell-Ryce with a calf strain in the warm-up and had to make a late change, bringing in Evander Sno. You can do without that sort of thing, but we improved as the match went on and feel we should have had all three points." Clarkson had not scored since the opening day of the season, and was also laid low for five weeks by a mystery virus. Johnson added: "Hopefully, this goal will be a new start for him. He had to go through a second pre-season to get fit again after the illness and has worked very hard."
