Last updated : 17 April 2017 By CNS Sport

Coventry City Manager Mark Robins said that Rochdale are a good side after they beat the Sky Blues 2-0 at Spotland. 

Speaking to BBC Coventry & Warwickshire, Mark Robins said: “It was always going to be interesting to see what reaction and what performance levels we were going to get out of the players.
 
“We’ve had to make changes through injury, lost a couple more today. Ben has come off with his neck, I don’t know the extent of it. 
 
“The power of the Rochdale players compared to ours was noticeable, it teaches me, underlines everything.
 
 “I think Rochdale are a good side, Ian Henderson typifies what is good about them. We were short in the defensive department first-half, disjointed performance, but not unexpected with the changes we’ve made.
 
“Their midfielders know the game, they can mix it, play when they need to. It is two games from the end of the season, I want to get on with the job.
 
“It is disappointing but not something that I expected, it is in the players and reared its head again today.”
