Meanwhile... Coventry fight on

COVENTRY are another ‘big club’ facing grim times, and as they sit 11 points from safety hopes of escaping relegation look slim. But latest manager Mark Robins is hoping his side can use yesterday’s win as a springboard for Wembley silverware and cheer the club up.

Coventry face Oxford in the Checkatrade Trophy final next weekend lifted after George Thomas’ 80th-minute winner. ‘Off the back of this win we can now go and enjoy next week,’ said Robins. ‘Our fans are desperate to see the team have a real go.’
