​Coventry moved closer to the Coca-Cola Championship play-offs despite failing to beat struggling Plymouth at the Ricoh Arena.

The Sky Blues, who have not lost at home since December, are just two points off sixth-placed Cardiff and host Dave Jones’ side on Tuesday night.

Kari Arnason headed the visitors into the lead in first-half injury time but Michael McIndoe’s first goal for Coventry ensured a point for Chris Coleman’s men.

Coleman said: “Why not mention the play-offs? Let’s go for it and if we get there by winning all our games 1-0 I won’t care at all.

“If you look at the table then this is a point gained because we are closer to Cardiff.

“We are on a good run at the moment but that is always in the past, it is all about the next game for us.

“With the squad of players we have got, if they stay fit and they stay focused then we stand a good chance.

“We are under the radar, no-one fancies us and that is fine by me.”

Plymouth’s Jamie Mackie was the biggest threat in the first half and Keiren Westwood had to be at his best in the 20th minute to tip a close-range left-footed effort over the bar.

Argyle took the lead after Damien Johnson delivered an excellent 30-yard free-kick which Arnason headed home.

Coventry replied after the break when Carl Baker swung in a dangerous cross from the right towards Gary Deegan six yards out.

The ball bounced through his legs but McIndoe was queuing up behind him to fire home.

The home side pushed on and Jon Stead’s 56th-minute shot from outside the area had to be dealt with by goalkeeper David Stockdale.

Stead was causing problems again in the 73rd minute when he received the ball to the left of the area. He drilled the ball across the box and past Stockdale, but it was just out of reach of McIndoe’s outstretched boot.

Both teams had chances in injury time, with Stockdale pulling off a great save to keep out a Freddy Eastwood header.

Plymouth manager Paul Mariner said: “It was a good game to watch and both sets of fans would have gone away thinking that they got their money’s worth.

“Chris and Coventry will probably be a little more pleased with the result than I am but the performance had a bit more of our stamp on it.

“I am the type of person and my squad is the sort that will keep fighting until there is no breath left in us.

“Everybody would have had this down as a slam-dunk certainty for a home win but we gave Coventry everything. We are not a dead man walking.”
