ROBINS PUTS WAG ON SPOT

Blackpool Coventry 7.45pm

- BY JAMES NURSEY

MARK ROBINS has taken Viktor Gyokeres off penalties and handed them over to Coventry new boy Martyn Waghorn.

The Sky Blues return to action tonight after losing 1-0 at Barnsley on Saturday – where Gyokeres had a tame stoppage-time spot-kick saved. Manager Robins admitted: “I did not get involved. I thought somebody would come out of the pack that wanted it. But if you get that opportunit­y you’ve got to take it and stick it in the back of the net.”

And Robins added that forward Waghorn (above), a summer signing from Derby, would now be on the spot. He said: “If Waghorn is on the pitch, he’ll take the next one. Viktor didn’t connect with it properly, but he wants to score and I can’t knock him. He wants to be brave.”
