Mark Robins expressed his confidence in the potential of his Coventry City team following their first win of the season against Bristol City in the EFL Cup on Tuesday night. Ellis Simms scored a brilliant goal after coming on as a substitute, securing the victory for the Sky Blues in a tough match between two Championship sides.
Although the team had a disappointing start to the league season with a narrow loss to Stoke City over the weekend, they have been active in the transfer window, bringing in new players like Brandon Thomas-Asante, Jack Rudoni, and Ephron Mason-Clark. These additions have added depth to the squad and increased competition for starting spots, strengthening the team’s push for a top six finish.
Robins, while pleased with the win and the support from the fans, acknowledges that there is still room for improvement. He believes that the players have the talent to succeed but need time to gel as a team and fully realize their potential. He emphasizes the importance of precision and adaptability on the field, especially in challenging conditions like the wet pitch they encountered in Bristol.
Despite some early challenges, Robins is confident that the team will continue to progress and improve as they become more comfortable playing together. He urges the players to recognize their individual strengths and how they can contribute to the team’s success, emphasizing the need for a collective effort to achieve their goals. With the right mindset and determination, Robins believes that his team has the potential to achieve great things in the upcoming season.
