We're In The Hat - Robins

Last updated : 03 November 2012 By Covsupport News Service

Coventry City manager Mark Robins thought his side were a lot better in the second half than the first in their 3-0 FA Cup First Round win over Arlesey Town.

Speaking to BBC Coventry & Warwickshire, Robins said: "In the first half we were lacklustre and poor; the second half was totally different. We're in the hat, we've not picked up any suspensions or injuries.

"I picked a side that's capable of doing the job, and they proved that today. In the first half they were making the wrong decisions. In the second half we passed it a lot better and we made the most of the possession we had. It could have been a lot more in terms of scoreline in our favour.

"I think they're an anxious bunch. We need to be on the front foot, and that's going to change over a period of time. The second half was a better spectacle for our supporters to watch and they were able to get behind us a bit more because we gave them more to hang on to.

"In the end we got what we deserved and it was a professional performance. I'm not taking anything away from Arlesey, because they tried their best and they've got a decent squad of players for the level they play at. They put in a decent performance."
