“Coventry sides stick their foot in where it hurts and go through brick walls if they have to.
“We got beat 3-1 by a technically very average team. But when you have 11 players fully committed and hungry to win then there will be only one outcome.”
Clarke will be looking for a response tomorrow when his side return to league action with a trip to Lichfield City.
“It is a massive three points for us,” he said.

“We are not far away from where we want and need to be.”
