Shot-shy City annoy Adams

Coventry City manager Micky Adams was frustrated with his side's failure in front of goal as the Sky Blues slumped to a 1-0 defeat against Stoke City at a foggy Britannia Stadium on Monday.
City have scored only 14 goals in their 16 Championship goals so far this season and Stern John is the only player to have found the net more than once.
Adams is aware of his side's lack of quality in front of goal, and admitted after the match: "Frustration is the key word. I'd be worried if we were being beaten by more goals, but this is very frustrating.
"No-one wants to get beaten 1-0, but I always want to be in the game with five minutes to go.
"There were times last season when we were counting down the clock for the end of games. We kept going to the death but we've got to be better on the ball.
"No-one does more passing practice on the training field than we do, but we gave away the ball far too cheaply.
"Physically we're fine at the moment, mentally we're questionable. That said we were beaten by a wonder strike."
