Chris Coleman apologised to Coventry supporters after City narrowly avoided relegation with a 4-1 defeat at Charlton.

The Sky Blues came within one goal of falling out of the Championship after Southampton and Sheffield Wednesday both won to push Coventry to the brink.

Coleman's side survived but the Welshman is aware that plenty of hard work lies ahead this summer if the Sky Blues are to avoid a repeat scenario next season.

"I felt sorry for the fans. Our away support has been amazing and that wasn't the way to thank them," said Coleman.

"I am delighted to be staying up, don't get me wrong, but I have a lot of hard thinking to do now."
