JAMIE Allen insists Coventry City must forget about their defeat against Sheffield United and move onto the next game quickly.
Allen captained the Sky Blues in the 3-1 defeat at Bramall Lane before making way for Ben Sheaf late in the second half.
Despite the defeat, the midfielder admits City feel confident they can win games at any point following their recent run of form.
Allen said: “We’ve won 10 out of 13 and that is not easy to do in the Championship. We just need to forget about this quickly now and focus on the next game.
“We want to win every game, and you know how hard this league is, it’s tough every game you go into, but we have the confidence that we can win at any point.
“100 per cent [we need a positive reaction], we need to work as hard as we have been doing throughout the season.”
Goals from Gustavo Hamer, Tyrese Campbell and Rhian Brewster put the Blades in command before substitute Jack Rudoni netted a consolation for the Sky Blues in injury time.
And Allen feels City lacked cutting edge throughout and admits the Blades were more clinical in front of goal.
Allen added: “I think they were just more ruthless than us. I thought we had spells in the game in periods of time, but we didn’t take advantage of that, and they’ve gone down to the other end and scored.
“All three of the goals were good finishes to be fair, the first one goes in the top corner and there’s not much we can do about that but they were just more ruthless than us.
“I can’t remember having many chances, but we were in their half quite a bit and just didn’t create that final bit.
“We probably [lacked cutting edge] from what I can think back to of the game, we didn’t get that final pass or final cross on the money.”
Coventry are next in action against Burnley on Saturday, April 5 with kick-off at 12.30pm at the Coventry Building Society Arena.
