Speaking to BBC Coventry & Warwickshire after the game, Mark Robins said: “I’m absolutely fuming, that’s two points we have thrown away.

“We got the breakthrough and then you want to push on, but we were all over the place for the goal and it’s a major disappointment.

“We were the better team once again; however, we didn’t take the chances we created.

“We were saying at half-time it looked like a 1-0 game and we managed to get the goal.

“But then Willis who hadn’t really put a foot wrong all game then decided to listen to a shout back to the goalkeeper that wasn’t on. “It wasn’t just him, Dom Hyam has gone in for a header when he didn’t need to.

“We aren’t there yet, we need to go out there and enjoy playing and not fearing taking that shot or trying that pass.

“Shipley has hit one well at the end and that’s absolutely fine, if it goes either side of the keeper it flies in.

“We don’t need to get bogged down after missing chances, we need more belief.

“We are now on 40 points so we need to kick on from here.”
