Sky Blues manager Mark Robins says his Coventry City players will turn their 1-1 draw away at Plymouth Argyle into a positive result with a follow-up win against Stoke City on Saturday. He said it can be changed.
Robins’ side came from behind twice to draw at Home Park, with Liam Kitching’s late goal securing a point.
After the match, the coach praised his team’s efforts to the media.
As a result…
That’s too bad. We were in control in the first half and kept them really quiet. However, in the second half, we couldn’t play as well as we wanted and things got sloppy.
I don’t want to make any excuses. We know we weren’t good enough. We created a lot of chances offensively.
Their first goal was poor and they needed to try harder to stop Morgan Whittaker. I just think we didn’t have the energy and quality.
We took them one step closer to their goal. We have to be better and come back from this performance and do better on Saturday.
As I’ve said many times before, it’s going to be a long journey back. We need to solve this problem and go to Stoke City and turn this into a positive outcome if the ewe can.
This could be an important point at the end of the season.
As for the changes he made for the match…
Changes had to be made before the game. We’re not playing Championship Manager. I manage people.
My team is tight and light. I think it wasn’t change and that was all we had available.
Callum O’Hare was absent tonight due to fatigue. He heard that there were a lot of stupid stories about him.
What’s the point of dragging him on a bus for 10 hours when 20 minutes on the pitch could mean he won’t be able to play on Saturday?
We have a small team and some injuries. Callum is not alone. He wanted to play today, but we decided not to let him play.
He went from not playing for months to playing every week, so we have to take care of him. I would like to introduce him every week.
In the second half of the equalizer…
Overall, we attacked pretty well. One of the big pluses is Ellis’ goal. He broke through and made sure it was in the net.
The fans were great despite a horrible night of traveling 500 miles round trip even though I had work to do tomorrow.
I would like to thank the fans, but I am disappointed that I was not able to perform at the level I expected.
