Coventry City manager Mark Robins said praised his players after the Sky Blues beat Cheltenham Town 2-1 at the Ricoh Arena this afternoon.

Speaking to BBC Coventry & Warwickshire, Mark Robins said: "They are dangerous.

“The stats say they are dangerous but we have scored two really good goals and seen them off. We had to defend deep at times but there was some good stuff in there.

“Losing the players we have lost, it is not excuses, the dynamic is different and I don’t want us to be samey. They were bright. Eisa for them was a bright spark. They were quite clever. The substitutions made a bit of a difference.

“Tom Bayliss will be a good player and it was a good day for him. The first of many.

“Nazon was outstanding and every time I use him gives me something. The ball Sparky controlled was great control. I thought his second touch was a little too far ahead of him but he got there. Keeper hesitated and he lifted it over him.

“Marc (McNulty) is a confidence player and will thrive off the positivity but not so much the negativity Everybody deals with that differently. He is a talented player without a shadow of a doubt, his close touch and control is better than the level. The supporters will grow to love him if they don’t already. The ones who know the game and know that he is a proper talent and we need to keep giving him chances as there are goals in him.

“The supporters should stick with Max Biamou. He will score and I feel disappointed for him but he does so much of the other work.

“If he gives the work rate he can cause problems for the opponents. He wins a lot of the headers and gets us up the pitch. I was pleased with his performance just disappointed he did not round that off with a goal.”
