Robins; I Have To Take It On The Chin

Last updated : 26 January 2019 By CNS Sport

Coventry City manager Mark Robins has said that he has to take it on the chin after his side failed to put away their chances and went down to a 2-0 home defeat to Blackpool.

Robins told BBC Coventry & Warwickshire after the defeat: “We had a great first half, it just feels like Groundhog Day because we are playing some really good stuff. I am going to have to take it on the chin and if that means getting stick or whatever I have to do it because we have got to get through it.

“We are almost there but it is going to take a little bit more time and a bit more work. We have played good football, we’ve pinned them in and done all the things that are right, and we don’t get the goal. We have to get that goal, and someone has to shoulder the responsibility.

“If you’re not scoring and missing chances you start to question yourself, you get that man on you shoulder questioning ‘am I going to score this?’ rather than being ruthless and doing it.

“The thing you can do is getting through it by practice, which is where the work comes in.”
