The recent dip in form for Coventry City, as highlighted by manager Mark Robins, can be attributed to several factors, primarily their small squad and the injuries to key players. Robins emphasized the impact of these issues following their defeat against West Bromwich Albion.
Despite a morale-boosting victory in the FA Cup, Coventry couldn’t capitalize on the momentum and suffered another loss, extending their winless streak at The Hawthorns since 2007. Goals from Micky Johnston and Grady Diangana secured the win for West Brom, despite Coventry’s attempt to rally with a second-half penalty from Haji Wright.
Robins expressed concern about the possibility of their season “fizzling out” and stressed the need to maintain momentum, especially with upcoming fixtures. He highlighted the challenges posed by injuries to key players, underscoring the thinness of their squad. Robins emphasized the necessity of additional support, acknowledging that with a fully fit squad, they are capable of competing with any team.
As they face bottom side Rotherham United next, Robins and Coventry City will be striving to turn their fortunes around and reignite their pursuit of a playoff spot, while also hoping for favorable results from other matches involving playoff contenders.
