CoventryLive’s coverage of the Coventry City match as the Sky Blues manager discusses the team’s evaluation of the 1-1 FA Cup tie at Sheffield Wednesday
Victor Torp made his Coventry City debut with a fantastic FA Cup goal, and Mark Robins praised him for it. On Sheffield Wednesday, the Danish midfielder took the Sky Blues the lead, but the host team rallied and the match ended 1-1, setting up a CBS Arena replay.
“If you can’t win, don’t lose,” he uttered. “We’ll bring them back to our place and have a proper shot.” The pitch was challenging once more, and they make it harder for you by setting things up that way, in my opinion. The game was scrappy.
After the 1-1 FA Cup fourth round match at Hillsborough, Robins stated, “We could have capitalised on a couple of chances in the second half and took the lead with an unbelievable strike – a brilliant goal from Victor.”
“He had a difficult time entering the game. Although it was a challenging pitch, he is a skilled player and has it in his bag. It was a fantastic goal and a solid debut. Greetings from Coventry!
“Ellis Simms had one that stands out, and if we had taken that, the game would have ended right there,” Robins continued. We failed to do so, and as a result, they were able to re-enter the game and beat Ben with a shot that deflected off the edge of the box.
“After a really nice play, their keeper made a pretty wonderful save to deny Jamie Allen, then we ran down the other end and could have taken the lead. Although there were some high points, that was not the main plot of the game.
He gave the following explanation of the six modifications and the conversion to the 3-4-1-2 formation: “There are fatigue elements that come into it, and Tatsu is one.” They were a little gaunt, and Callum O’Hare appeared to be dead on his feet. We want the guys to heal because we have a game on Tuesday.
