Last updated : 09 November 2018 By CNS Sport

Coventry City Manager Mark Robins has said that there are no easy games in the FA Cup as the Sky Blues travel to Walsall for an FA Cup First Round tie tomorrow.

For Mark Robins, it will be a return to a club for whom he made 40 appearances in 1999/2000 and speaking about the tie which will see another superb turn out of City supporters, the City boss told the media this morning: "There will be no compromise on team selection, we have a good group of players and they're performing at a good level at the moment.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"It’s an important competition for everyone. “These days out for the supporters and the memories of last year are still strong.

“I think we are taking around 3,000 tomorrow, so we may even outnumber the Walsall support, if not match them which is outstanding support.

“It is a tough start for us and we’ve got to go there and understand that.

“We’ve got a good group of players and they are performing well at the moment, we want to go there and put on a good performance, but we have to understand they are a good side.

“When you come up against a side in the same division it is a tough game, but saying that, we played Maidenhead and Boreham Wood last year and they were difficult games in their own right.

“There are no easy games. We’ve just got to go there and try and get through and put a good performance.”

You come up against a side in the same division and it's always difficult, there are no easy games.

"There's a month between the two games against Walsall, we need to go there and enjoy it and work hard, it would be brilliant to have another cup run.

"You go and try and do the best you can, we a good bunch of players who are in confident mood.

"I was at Walsall for a year and it's a really good club. I played with Adi there and there was a lot of good lads there and all in all I have good memories.

"We've had some injury issues and have been picking up a few niggles, so hopefully they won't be out too long.
