Robins disappointed with Coventry display against Silky Swans

Coventry City manager Mark Robins was disappointed with his team’s display today and said that Swansea’s way of playing unsettled them on the pitch.

Despite some strong second half pressure Robins’ team could only grab a single goal back, which came as a result of some over confident football being played at the back.

He admitted that despite missing several “one on one’s” that Swansea’s “assured first touch” made the difference overall as the points stayed in Wales.

The result means Swansea have taken maximum points from Coventry City this season and makes it six points from two games this week.

Robins said: “Weโ€™re disappointed, absolutely.

โ€œWe would have liked to have played better of course we would. I donโ€™t know what it was, I think it was a mixture of their assured first touch, the way they move the ball and the way we didnโ€™t get up and leave a mark on them and the way we allowed them to play round us.

โ€œIn terms if our movements they’re a side that try to pull you into positions you donโ€™t want to be and you have to get it right and because it happens quickly.

โ€œSometimes you get it wrong, and we got it wrong twice and unfortunately for us the ball is in the back of the net twice.

โ€œThe third one we end up playing a ball hitting against their men and it gets cut out and they break on us and stick it in and it kills the game

โ€œOur โ€˜keeper hasnโ€™t had a save to make and weโ€™ve had six opportunities on goal and three of them were one-on-ones and the other were clear cut chances.โ€
