Robins delight at Rovers rout

Robins: Chuffed to bits

Coventry boss Mark Robins praised his players after a 4-1 victory at Doncaster stretched their unbeaten run to seven games.

City have made remarkable progress since Robins took charge three months ago and he said: "I'm made up for the players and the fans - this was our best performance since I came to the club."

Franck Moussa volleyed home in the third minute and Rovers squandered chances before David McGoldrick added the second.

On-loan Nottingham Forest striker McGoldrick missed a good chance to score again before he added the third from close range in the 58th minute.

Rovers tried hard to fight back and Chris Brown pulled one back with a header in the 76th minute before Adam Barton wrapped up the points for Coventry in fine style with a superb strike in the last minute.

Robins added: " We got all aspects of our game right and the competitive side was particularly pleasing because we won most of the second balls and dealt with the aerial bombardment brilliantly.

"It would have been nice to have kept a clean sheet but if you can score four goals I'm not going to complain about that.

"The lads deserve their Christmas party but we can't get carried away because football can kick you in the teeth if you do.

"Our application without the ball was tremendous and we could have scored more but you can't be greedy and I'm not going to grumble about that."
