Last updated : 03 February 2018 By CNS Sport/AO

Coventry City manager Mark Robins said it was a poor, poor afternoon as the Sky Blues lost 2-1 at Forest Green.

Robins said about the defeat to the media: "We gave them chances prior to the goals and then we gave them the goalss.

"Burge did well with their first to make the initial save. We were second best all over the pitch.

"We have not done enough today. They were always first to the ball.

"It was a poor poor afternoon and there are no excuses here. This side have now done the double over us. Whilst they have worked hard, we should not be losing games like this when we are going for a promotion, no disrespect to Forest Green.

This is really dissapointing. We have to put this behind us quickly and move on.

"There has been a lot of plaudits being given to the players over the last couple of weeks. They need to just get on with it and work hard and overcome the issues we have away from home.

"There are no excuses. We know how difficult playing three games in a week is, but everyone has to do it. We have got to be ready for the challenge. 

"There are sixteen games left and still a lot of football to play. It is just frustrating when we get ourselves into a really good position and make it so difficut for ourselves."
