Coleman disappointed not to come away with three points
Sheffield United manager Kevin Blackwell says Sun Jihai's first-team spot is in danger as Coventry City boss Chris Coleman reflected on a display of two halves.
Chinese defender Sun was sent off in the Blades' 1-1 draw at home to Coventry for a challenge on Michael Mifsud after earlier conceding a penalty in the game.
With Sun now facing a suspension, Blackwell admits the former Manchester City stalwart has a battle on his hands to get back into his team.
"Sun knows the rules, when players get sent off, every club has rules regarding sendings-off and its no different for Sun," said Blackwell.
"He could find himself out longer than he thinks, as he's going to have to fight to get his place back."
Garbage
Jay Tabb had given Coventry a deserved half-time advantage with a clinical right-foot finish after the Blades defence had failed to deal with Aron Gunnarsson's long throw.
And although Blackwell was pleased with the way his side fought back to level through Billy Sharp, he was far from happy with their overall performance.
"We were garbage." said the former Leeds boss. "They can't get anxious like that, they have to learn to cope with the expectation of fans who expect to win games."
Sky Blues chief Coleman was disappointed not to have taken all three points after being impressed by his team's first-half display.
Outstanding
He said: "For 45 minutes we were outstanding and we deserved to be 1-0 up. Then we got the penalty and missed it and for five minutes we were feeling sorry for ourselves.
"If we'd have played the second 45 minutes like we did the first there would have been no contest.
"To come here and get a point, I'd have taken that as it's a hard place to come, they make it hard for you. But I'm disappointed not to have won.
"We've got to learn to do enough to win games, we're a young side and we lack experience."
