"In the first half we weren't at the level we were last week. We started the second half really well and scored a goal which was disallowed.

"I'm still trying to work it out. I've watched it back over and over again. He's onside. They've given it offside because of a rule that the defender isn't in control of the ball but my argument to that is that Robbo was onside throughout that.

"I've spoken to Bobby Madley. He says he gave offside because of an action that is a defender not being in control of the ball but the main point is he is not offside at any point in the move.

"That's disappointing but, overall, we didn't work the keeper enough.

Coventry City manager Mark Robins:

"It was a good result. We started off not great, gave the ball away a bit too much and they've got some pace and power in the team. Thankfully we grew into the game.

"We had a bit of luck with the goal that was disallowed. We got away with that but, other than that, we did OK.

"It was one of those days where, if you're not playing as well, as we know we will do at some point, you've got to defend collectively well and generally we did that.

"Although they had quite a bit of possession, this was a battling away performance and thankfully we got the three points. They're really important."
