INTERVIEW: Mark Robins Swansea City Reaction

Speaking after the game this evening, Sky Blues boss Mark Robins reflected on defeat at the Coventry Building Society Arena.

Robins pretty spot on tbf, it’s exactly how I saw the game aswell

The last paragraph makes it a bit odd that he didn't try something else up front until 89 minutes.

As much as we can say we were on the front foot second half I don't think we tested them at all. They seemed quite happy that they could keep us out.

I think the word “arguably” actual means some may believe that, rather than they were. To me they were far better than QPR. Every team causes us some problems. Luton I agree were far better than us but when as a team you fail to turn up everybody is better. I don’t think Luton will end up top 6 but I expect Swansea will.

I don’t think they will. They got gifted two goals but outside that didn’t look dangerous at all and were lucky out forwards all had their feet on back to front first half and were ignored by our midfield second half.

I think people are blinded by their ability to knock the ball around, but they don’t do much with it and looked shaky when pressed high.

and then played a ridiculously low amount of injury time.

Yes so true he was abysmal along with linesman, but it wasnt the reason we lost.

I think our best bet was to match them up. Most top teams including Swansea yesterday play with just 1 striker. I still find it bonkers we play with 2 it doesnt work!

Play with Vik alone, with a box, we control the game have that extra midfielder.

It was so easy for them to pass between the lines yesterday. Especially our forward line.

Problem is when we play with 1 striker, our clueless fans call that negative!

Its suicide to play with 2 strikers.

We won league 1 playing with 1 striker!

Playing with one striker is fine so long as you’ve attacking midfielders who can run in and finish.

That there is the onion.

They looked a good side in the making. But in the making. The fact is they made enough goof ups at the back we should have punished them. Their gk kicked about 3 straight to our forwards for a start

But what are we if not a good side in the making?

Are we already a cemented top 6 team now?

Come on

He picked the ball up on the corner of the area and drove into space to win a corner at one point, people are seeing what they want to see with Jones.

I thought Jones did fine in his limited time on pitch. Some simple passes and a thre dribbles/drives with ball. None of which went wrong

We have four ´capable´ strikers and only one attacking midfielder who is playing very badly. Unless you play Allen we cannot really afford to do that.

It was again, why I tried to explain our transfer window didn't strengthen some key areas.

I can't fault the endeavour but we showed very little real quality when it was needed

If Gyokeres had played a fairly easy pass to him at one stage I think it is quite likely he would have scored. I felt he looked fine.

Yes I think Jones did OK in a pretty unfamiliar role.

Robins said in his post match interview that JJ was just a bit too frenetic, and he'd have liked him to be calmer on the ball.

Depending on January business he can still have a part to play this season

He'll get a 2 week rest after Saturday. After that he has to start every game as his style of play has become pivotal to our success so far this season. I agree he seems to perform best with Wagthorn around.

Might be in the Sweden squad.

He is but see him playing even less of a part this time with Ibrahimovic back. Fifth choice striker

On a selfish note I hope so.
