Championship: 3pm

MARK ROBINS reckons his Coventry side must be calmer in the final third to stay up.

The promoted Sky Blues have won just once in seven games and former Manchester United star Robins said: “If we can calm our brains down in the final third and take our chances we’ll be ok.

“The chances have to be taken really quickly because the higher up the leagues you go you have to take those chances quicker. ”

The Sky Blues have welcomed Liam Kelly (above) back from injury and defender Sam McCallum said: “With it being the first season back in the Championship it is hard not having a full squad but we have dealt with it well.”

BOURNEMOUTH boss Jonathan Woodgate warned his players they need to become more streetwise to get their ailing promotion push back on track.

The Cherries dropped out of the top six after losing to play-off rivals Cardiff on Wednesday, and face another crunch clash at home to Watford today.

Woodgate (above) said: “We need to do better. This is a really tough league compared to the Premier League.

“It is a different ball game. You need to go longer at times and test teams in behind – everything cannot be in front of them, looking for the perfect goal.

“You have to get the ball wide and get the ball in the box. That is how this league works. We need to start winning games, starting with Watford.”

The Cherries were among the pre-season promotion favourites after dropping out of the Premier League last season, but captain Steve Cook admits they have underperformed.

He said: “We’re probably lucky to be still level with the play-off positions, with the number of games we’ve lost and given away.

“But the only positive thing I can say is we’ve got 14 games left and we’re still in there.”
