Football: Coventry City loses to Preston Mark in their worst loss of the season. When Coventry City lost 3-0 at home to Preston North End, Robins said his team lacked “pride.”
Emil Riis, Will Keane, and Bobby Thomas’ own goal in the first half stunned the home team, handing the Sky Blues their worst loss of the season.
Furthermore, Robins maintains that he and his team cannot feel sorry for themselves and that they must respond on Monday night in the FA Cup against Maidstone.
“There was no pride in that; it didn’t even look like a performance; instead, it looked like a group of people who were scared stiff and allowed them to get on top of us,” Robins remarked.
“We have to examine the poor individual performances and decisions that occurred; the quality of those choices was so low that it is even harder to identify the weak points.
“We must be prepared to face Maidstone once more; we cannot wallow in self-pity.
“We need to put in a strong performance in the FA Cup and accept all the criticism we will receive,” the player said.
Emil Riis, playing from five yards away, headed home Alan Browne’s long ball into the box to break the tie for Preston in the first minute of play.
And after Riis won the ball back after a slide challenge on Jay Dasilva inside the Coventry area, Keane finished on the turn from six yards out to give the Lilywhites a two-point lead on the 20th minute.
On a night the Sky Blues will never forget, Thomas turned a low cross from left by Riis into his own net to give the visitors the victory on minute 38.
