Geez. This was what 19-20? Games ago (all competitions). Tried it from the start against Sc-unithorpe and we were bloody awful..he has tried it and said this week it doesn't suit our players
We challenged our Facebook and Twitter followers to come up with their own questions for Coventry City boss Mark Robins.
Wayne Matthews asked: “Are you going to bring in a striker? Leon is not a lone striker – we saw that Thursday night.”
Robins said: “The dynamic of the team has changed and I think people should let me develop that. We want to play football and 4-4-2 is not something we are massively suited to.
"We can do it but I think we are more suited to the way that we play because it promotes us passing the ball and the movement I am looking for. And, in general, we do pretty well at it.
“If you abandon those principles early on that sends the wrong message out for me, and we have got to develop what we are doing and what we are about because we have to have some sort of identity and way of playing and philosophy for this football club which is to pass the ball and pass it properly.
“Against Preston we needed to mix it up but that’s League One football and all football in fairness. You have to play the game and you might have to play it a little bit longer at times.”

Well is was thinking more that he is prepared to do two up top. If he needs to, as oppose to one up top.
Worryingly though he seems to suggest he was behind the long ball tactics against Preston
