RESERVES: MK Dons 2 Coventry City 2
Posted on: Tue 15 Nov 2011

A YOUTHFUL Sky Blues side was denied victory by a late equaliser at MK Dons in a behind closed doors friendly on Tuesday.

Former Coventry midfielder Lee Carsley took charge of a side that contained six academy players alongside experienced first teamers such as James McPake, Martin Cranie and David Bell, who were looking to maintain match sharpness.

The hosts took the lead ten minutes before half-time but Carsley's words at the break had the desired effect as City started a lot more aggressively and drew level on 55 minutes.

Billy Daniels showed a great first touch to control the ball inside the area before turning to smash into the bottom corner.

The momentum was now with the visitors and Shaun Jeffers put them in front 15 minutes from time after he was set up by good work from first year apprentice Will Rankin - who came on as a second half substitute.

Substitutions were a feature of the game, with the usual competitive restrictions lifted, and the Sky Blues made four changes while Dons made eight.

And those changes were decisive as the fresher hosts managed to grab an equaliser just six minutes before the final whistle.

Team

Coventry City: Dunn, Willis (Henderson), Ruffels (Phillips), McPake, Cranie, Bell, Roberts (Daniels), Bigirimana, Deegan, Richards (Rankin), Jeffers.
