Coventry City: Mark Robins wants strong finish to the season

Mark Robins has been in charge at Coventry since 2017

Coventry City manager Mark Robins has warned his side must improve on last season if they are to reach the play-offs again.

The Sky Blues sit seventh, four points behind sixth-placed Norwich with a game in hand.

Before facing Leeds on Saturday, Robins warned that his side must step up their levels.

"We got 13 points from the last seven games, which took us to 70 points. That won't be enough," he said.

"We've got to put a serious run together to challenge the top six; we have three more points than this time last year."

Robins was also full of praise for second-placed Leeds and boss Daniel Farke, but believes in Coventry, and takes inspiration from their draw at Elland Road in December.

"I think they're a top, top team managed by a top manager who experienced promotion on a few occasions at Norwich City before in the Championship.

"He brings a squad full of quality, with threats all over the pitch, so we've got to be at it.

"We played Leeds up at Leeds and they were they were outstanding in the game; we managed to stay in it and got an equaliser and took a point away from there.

"We have to have a performance similar to that level to get something from the game; we've got to pick up as many points as we possibly can do."

Coventry must also balance their league form with an FA Cup semi-final with Robins' former club Manchester United at Wembley later this month.
